If you only want to use the $300 or so stand to do a little work on the bike you could save some $$$ and get a bit of wood 8" x 2" drill a hole in it and use a bit of pipe inserted through the hole to raise and lower the bike. Works a treat and costs next to nothing.




Agree wholeheartedly. Don't have the centerstand, but it would make a fine farkle when trekking if only for lubing the chain. Can't see much need for it otherwise. But being as it cost as much as a set of tires and tubes, or two thirds the price of a chain kit, well, I'm waiting for the, "here Moe, give me a hundred bucks and it is yours"...
