Because I keep baulking at the price of a centre stand.. I’ve ‘modded’ my ‘bit of wood’ alternative.
It’s enough to support the bike while oiling the chain etc (and at a push I’d guess, to remove the wheel.. then chock properly).
If I can be bothered I may source a piece of box-section steel and make a proper ‘professional’ one, though, along with the oil bottle and ‘toothbrush applicator’, this one has seen action across Europe without issue.
And no, I’m not from Yorkshire
