Re: Paddock stand - Hooks and bobbins or not?
If you have a rear stand with hooks you can only use it on a bike with bobbins,where as a normal plate stand is more versatile,depends if you only want it for your own bike hooks and bobbins or any bike,plates

Re: Paddock stand - Hooks and bobbins or not?
It's only to be used on my own bike. have ordered a set of bobbins and some hooks. hopefully they'll arrive soon so i can give the chain a proper clean without fannying about!

Re: Paddock stand - Hooks and bobbins or not?
Hook and bobbins I would say.
i dont use them but my swing arm now has a few scratches on it. I have a crap paddock stand too. For future reference for me, its probably worth spending a bit more money on decent stands and bobbins.

Re: Paddock stand - Hooks and bobbins or not?
But if you want something that's really stable buy an ABBA stand
Mine slipped off the paddock stand with cups fitted, so I changed them for hooks and bobbins. Much safer, but not as good as the ABBA

Re: Paddock stand - Hooks and bobbins or not?
Duct tape over the hooks if you are worried about scoring the swing arm.
Only a few mill. clearance with my set up. |

I did not trust the cups used them once on my stand and went and bought bobbins the following day. Has anyone used a abba front lift? as that will sway me into purchasing a set
