If you have an abba stand then you can buy one of these to jack up the front, but tbh I think you can do most things with just the standard abba.

I prefer to use something like this http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo/5616 ... ds/Bike-It

Works with either a single side rear or Abba stand.

I have one of the above stands and to be honest i find it a bit of a pain. I am going to get a headstock stand now, as you can work on the forks and front wheel with the headstock type and not thr fork support ones.

Check out Bike Lift (made in Italy). My bro here has one I used a couple of times. Comes with several different front pins sizes. There is always a good pin size for any headstock. I find them very good quality build. I use their rear single sided paddock stand for years now. But if you need a multifunctional one for cheaper price...get yourself the UK build ABBA stand. You won't be disappointed with that one.
