Hi I need to get the rear tyre on my NC30 changed, I have a tyre and someone to fit it for me but the prob i have is i have no paddock stand or any way of lifting the rear wheel off the ground to remove the rear wheel. So my first question is, is there any way to support the rear of the bike without a paddock/abba stand or has anyone localish to Bucks got one i could borrow for a day or two in return for some beer tokens. or even better anyone got one for sale that i could purchase.

Loads of ways :-)

Get creative

I use a set of car axle stands I got for £10 under the footpegs.. i lift rear of bike while friend puts stands under bike pegs.

You can use breeze blocks.. house bricks anything to support the bike.. you & friend if your struggling lift rear of bike up and somone slides blocks into place :D

anyother ideas

Alan, there are a few paddock stands and abba stands on ebay at the moment. its always nice to have one.
