Re: nws stands no longer available?
I bought an abba stand as I couldnt get an NWS one either , very impressed though its a good piece of gear . I can imagine it being expensive and a pain in the ar$e if you have multiple bikes though .

Re: nws stands no longer available?
Does anyone have a lathe? I need some cone shaped adaptors making for my Bjorn Again stand (It's an Abba-style affair, so got an Abba-esque nickname)

Re: nws stands no longer available?
Sorry for the de-rail Aaron, but I'm just curious, what's the advantage of a NWS stand (haven't even seen one) over let's say an Abba stand? Got an Abba myself and I'm pretty happy with it.

Re: nws stands no longer available?
Advantages of NWS are no need for adaptors to fit each bike, you work it with your foot which I find easier as I've got both hands on the bike when it's lifted, and when when on the stand it's more stable.
I've owned both stands and I'm very pleased I've got an NWS now they're hard to get.

Re: nws stands no longer available?
My Bjorn Again stand is foot operated, makes life a whole lot easier when dealing with larger bikes like Busas
