Title: What do you use to keep your High Wheeler from leaning against the wall?
Post by: Sped Man on July 27, 2018, 07:28:39 PM: I have a 52" Columbia high wheeler and it is starting to ruin my walls. I wish it had a kick stand, unfortunately it doesn't. I was wondering what you guys use on your big wheelers to keep them off the wall? Any suggestion would be appreciated. If you know of someone who has a bike stand for a 52" wheel please let me know. You can reach me at gonewiththebid2@aol.com Thanks
Eric

Post by: Sped Man on July 30, 2018, 07:53:28 PM: I agree with you John it could distort the spokes. I am waiting for Larry to send me his bike stand.

The bike stand fits it perfectly! Two thumbs way up for Larry! lunzridinghigh@aol.com. I thought that stand was going to cost me a small fortune. Larry is very reasonable when it comes to his prices. I also got the Quick Stand for my Columbia. Now I have a stand for home and for on the road. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
