Hi guys, today I bought the Evotech Bobbins and a Daytona paddock stand for the rear tire.
I was very happy with the GP look of this stand.
Unfortunately the hight is not good, as the bike lifts only a inch or so. I guess the stand is too low (picture attached), because the rear tire cannot move freely when on the paddock.
Can you please recommend a specific paddock stand, so I can order a proper one?
This is the one I have and comes highly recommended by many. I got the one with the removal handle so as to prevent people from tripping over it. Can't go wrong with a Pit Bull.
Pitbull stands really aren't that expensive. Considering the fact that almost any mod done to our 959s is about the cost of a Pitbull stand, just make the investment.
But to try and help you out, have you looked into other stands are available that doesn't require international delivery? Hard to help since there's really just a couple of paddock stand manufacturers that stand out (Pitbull, Ducati Perf, T-Rex, Oxford, Vortex, Lightech, Woodcraft).
I've never heard any horror stories about cheap paddock stands, so you could try out some no-name off eBay or Alibaba for very cheap.
As much as I favor Pitt-Bull's, you already have the stand like @dougo1199 wrote where adding larger wheels on the outside should solve your issue inexpensively. In-line skate wheels would be smooth as @Dingo suggested but casters should work also if you need more height.
Today I checked if I could return the Daytona paddock stand. At the store I noticed a differend stand. This one is actually able to be adjusted in hight as well!
So I swopped it (picture attached).
The brand is: "Kern-Stabi". Its a bit less sexy, but does do the trick and is stable.
I like the ease of use how to make it wider within one second. You can even detach in two pieces for compact transportation.
Check your local craigslist too. Was able to snag a bikemaster for $20. As long as the ground to spool height is 14" or higher you're golden (maybe even 13.5)
