Rear Stand
Aug 17th, 2009 by Leo
If you have a bike with a chain drive (and not a belt drive or shaft drive BMW or Harley), and you don’t have a center stand, then you absolutely need a rear stand from time to time. You know those clumsy looking things that you use to prop up the rear wheel while standing way behind the bike. You can find decent quality rear stands for around $50… But I could never recommend standard rear stands after using the PitBull forward handled rear stand.
It costs more. A lot more. And it really is well made (read heavy…but shiny), and easier to use. But the main reason why this is the only stand I’d recommend for City Bikers is because you can’t always use regular rear stands while parked at the curb. The curb gets in the way of the stand going all the way down. But the forward handled rear stand can prop up the wheel right at the curb.
So here’s an unpaid product endorsement. If anyone else makes forward handled rear stands, and they were well-made enough, I’d be glad to endorse those also… Cheers!
