new tyre for my CAT

never seen one of them metal bike holderupper tyres

Confused as well from the title. You do know that a having an actual wheel and tyre works best! Lol

Don't know they look like Pirelli Super Corsa axle stands to me

Did I fall over ??? why is the world sideways ??

lol, yeh I cocked up the upload and it went sideways. Well scary thou taking that wheel off, no way could do it with one person with the equipment I have.

Much more fun getting it back on after! I eventually tied mine to the rafters and used a ratchet webbing strap to get it high enough. Then you get to mess around with the speedo gears. Such fun!

yeah i was wondering how you'd get it back in

just jack it up agen from under the engine so it clears the axle stands and put wheel back on, simple. need two ppl thou as someone needs to sit on bike to keep it from wobbling.

makes sense you not just use a front paddock stand?

Would do if there was one at hand, this is the pictorial end of a howto request 'replace without a front paddock stand' [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] last post won the prize

don't have one so just utilised my garage equipment them axle stands are well useful, used them loads on my car etc....
