Hi Guys

Just my luck i got a nail in the front tyre after only 600km, but shit the TR dont have a center stand

But when i order the bike i was fully aware of this shortcoming so i had ordered a pair of front and back stands here is the taobao link.

Just around the block from me is a tyre shop which i have only seen cars outside, with most car tyres shop most will not do bike tyres as it all the messing about getting the bike jacked up to take the tyre of the bike , so i took my 2 new bike stands with me in a car had the bike on the stands all nice and easy to work on out walked the tyre fitted looked at the front tyre found the nail which had been in for about 70km drive with no lost of air , and he pulls it out and then tells me he cant or wont do the repair . Now with the nail out the tyres and air being losted every sec and now i have to ride back to my garage which luckily was only 2 km away. I asked him why did you pull the nail out if you was unable to repair the tyre. He just look at me with the look of a dumbass sorry i was a farmer 2 weeks ago shoveling pig shit look

Dont you just love these guys here in china

OK back at my Garage put the bike back on the 2 new stands with the new 40mm side stand foot been fitted makes it a lot easier to life the back wheel up on the stand the front stands is very easy to use when the back is up but the ones i got are spring loaded with 3 holes on each pin to adjust the gap. but even on the 3rd hole with the front of the TR the gap is not wide enough to suit the TR front legs so all you have to do is add a few more washers add to the outside of the pin and it will be spot on.. Need to buy a 14mm allen key. Took all the brake caliper wheel and tyre in the car in 10 mins found a local trye shop that could help out all done back on the bike in about 1 hour
