Paddock stand bits

Post by Noggin »

Help! I have a paddock stand with hooks. I did used to have the flat bits to go under the swing arm but can't find them.

To get the wheel out I need them!!

What are they called so I can see if I can find something online?


Paddock stand like this -

FFS - 15,50€ to buy but they are all in the UK so another 14,38€ to ship AND another 7,41€ (TBC) import charges.

Now I'm going to go and see if there's anything I can use instead!!! Stupid bastard politics and stupid bastard lack of google-foo :angry-cussingblack: :angry-cussingblack:

When I was in a pinch once I flipped the spool type ones round the other way and made some cups out of blocks of wood with bicycle inner-tube wrapped around them. Worked fine.

Just put some bolts into the swinging arm holes. Worked for me in the past.

I'll go see what bolts I have!! LOL


Thanx guys. I do tend to get a full on mental block about stuff at the moment and can't see past the issue!

Gotta go down to the next village for a bit but will go look after that! xxx
