Paddock Stands and Angel ST Tyres

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I've got myself a new front stand for the bike but it's never that straight forward. I'll tell you how it went wrong last time, then we will have a look at this BikeTec Head Lift / Head Stand / Front Paddock Stand. Finally a quick review of the Angel ST Tyres that I've had on the bike for nearly a year.

    Your video is so valuable, from marketing the product to "how-to" guidance. . Thank you! I am a new sub for sure! :)

    Hi there. Just in case you haven’t already worked it out.. … your original front stand prongs aren’t both supposed to be under the fork. One goes under and the second sits behind the fork to stop the one under neath slipping out. They make a kind of ‘L’ shaped cradle. Cheers.

    Great thanks. I'm really pleased to have seen this video, I'm on exactly the same journey as you were, and as a fairly short bloke the wobbly stand thing and a bike on its side is a nightmare. I will buy a headstock stand today. Best, Nigel

    I put a set of Metzler Sport Tech O1 SE's on my Firestorm in June, I've done 2200 miles on them and they still look great. No sign of them squaring off and the tread still has loads left. It's being put to bed for the winter but I feel confident they'll get me through next year.

    Need to pick one of these stands up. Cleaning the front wheel is a ball ache having to move the bike around to get to it all! The biggest issue I have is "ANOTHER BLOODY PACKAGE" from the other half! 😂

    Been using them for years, also allows swingarm removal with an additional bit of kit.

    I bought the Abba bead breaker and wheel balancing kit and haven’t looked back. I also bought some big cable ties of eBay and used them instead of tyre levers . it’s a bit time consuming putting all the ties on but no damage to rims or paint . Good luck with it all and dodge them nails that I seem to keep picking up in my back tyres.😊

    I've got the same headstock stand and it's brilliant, if you want to try a different make of tyre I've now got Continental Road Attack 4s fitted and they are a really good match for the Z900, also used earlier types like Road Attack 2 and 3 in other bikes and always been impressed by them.

    Put Pirelli Angel ST tyres on my Triumph Speed Triple 1050...... They are just as good as any other tyre I've ever had.i learned the truth about tyres and oil years ago after wasting huge sums on top shelf items. I now use Smith Allan synthetic oil which costs half the price of Mobil 1. The fact is, we are all being ripped off. Wake up guys (and gals), save your hard earned dosh and don't buy the latest tyres.

    You are missing the elephant in the room...... You've just spent close on £200 for both front and rear stands. Plus you gotta be in location where those stands are to use them. As you stated, you don't track, rather bop about the country roads etc.... oh, that elephant.... get a center stand and you can do virtually all work on your bike, no matter where you are (you ain't carrying them stands about when out tootling in the lanes). I can see a racer using these paddock stands, but not a regular Joe-Shmo who requires a stand (side or center) for normal usage. That being said, thanks for demonstrating how it (front stand) works.
