Is it the same for an RVF?
I got a 27mm pin and it doesn't fit. Unless the one I got is incorrect?

the RVF pin is much smaller than the NC30, I'm not at home so can't measure it

That's alright guys.

Would it be in the Haynes manual at all?

I could measure mine with a ruler or something but I'm guessing it wouldn't be accurate enough when we're talking mm's.

I couldnt find it in the haynes when i looked, could try with a ruler or go down to a bike mechanic and ask to borrow thier pins for 5 minutes so you can see what size it is.

I looked in the Haynes too but couldn't see it.

I have tried with a ruler and it looks to be about 24mm but I cannot be exact.

The 27mm pin I have is just off, so I think the next common size down would be it.

I might just have to order a 24mm and see how I go.

i have a biketek stand that came with 4 pins 13mm, 15mm, 16.5mm + 18mm.

i use the 18mm, it's not a tight fit but it doesn't need to be - in fact it's prob better to be a bit loose so you can easily move the stand into position
