Paddock stand - Hooks and bobbins or not?
Hi there,
Just got my hands on a paddock stand. Just wondering if it's best to use hooks and bobbins, or use the universal "shoes" that come with it? Cheers, Toby |

Re: Paddock stand - Hooks and bobbins or not?
Don't use the shoes if you have a '99 - '02, the position of the rear brake caliper fouls the shoes and prevents you getting a stable position on the swingarm, I've just learned this to my cost.
Use the bobbins, far easier, safer and quicker. |

I've found the bobbins way easier. The universal cups were a bit of a faff

Bobbins and hooks scratched my swing arm.

Go for the bobbins and forks, the cup things are not as stable. I've had bikes fall off stands with cups as they have a tendancy to slip.
