NC30 leans to the right on paddock stand

Does anybody else have this issue? I’ve had two different paddock stands over the years and the bike leans to the right by quite a lot once it’s on the paddock stand. Seems like the small amount of clearance between the pin and wheel + small amount of play between the pin and paddock stand allows the bike to lean. The only way I can get the bike level is with the Abba stand.

I’m hoping it’s a common issue otherwise a might have a bendy bike 😬

I've never had an issue with mine leaning (noticeably). Are you sure the spindle is the right size (diameter and length)?

The hub is in the middle of the mass (left to right) so the bike should sit straight down.

If the bike was bendy, warped or bent that far I reckon you'd notice it when riding.

For some piece of mind, put it on the Abba stand, on level ground, and get a spirit level against the rear tyre. Not precise rocket science but it goes somewhere towards reassuring you.

If it's leaning more than is instinctively acceptable then I would say the problem is either in the spindle, the hub or the ground level - or maybe your eyeballs ! :grin:

I think mine leans a bit - it's deffo not level when on my stand.

I have two different - on has a bearing and a tighter tolerance and is more level, the other a slacker fitting and leans more. Get some beer mats and level it up :)
