My bike does not have a centre stand so need to get a rear paddock stand to do basic stuff like chain lube etc.....I'm not mechanically minded at all !!!!..

Don't have threads in swing arms for bobbins to be screwed into so will need stand with either cups or similar to lift bike by swing arms.

Are all paddock stands OK or are there any manufacturers to be avoided??

Thanks

Adrian

PS... I have just got booked onto the last Bikesafe course this Sunday at Urchfont Manor. There may still be a few places left ...see my comments in BikeSafe 2009 subject for contact details etc.
