Abba Stand Instructions?

[MJC-DEV]

Just got an Ebay Abba stand for my SV. Works really well but if anyone could email me the instructions, just in case, I would be grateful.
I'm not sure of how tight you need to turn the top tee handle, tight or very tight?
Cheers

Have you checked their website?

A quick look on the Abba stand website and I found a demo video.. which is also on youtube.

Not too tight, just so both adaptors are snugg in the swingarm pivot

Thanks for that, maviczap, that's what I was after.

- yep, did check the web site and video but no PDF to download unusually.

As he said, plus a turn for good measure....

Tip: if it falls out do it a bit tighter next time.....

When adjusting the basic width ENSURE the lower "handwheel" is tight otherwise the when tightening the "T-BAR" the arms will spread.

I had never even looled at these until now. Im getting one, paddock stand ****es me off.

Paddock stand is now dismantled and in the loft (ebay soon!). Abba much easier.
Think I have been over-tightening as I've been going until it needs two hands to turn, so now it's take up play, then plus 1 turn. Probably about 5 turns after touching. Guess it's not too critical in any case.
Bottom hand wheel noted.

put the handle half on then put the other half on snug to the spindle tighten up the big plastic nut then turn the t handle till its hand tight. it does not have to be 'wrench' tight. this is what i do and to date the bike has never fallen of the stand.
