They tend to slide forward, lowering the bike til the tire is on the ground. Just something to keep your eye on. Happens to any non-spool type rear stand. Can tip over if you're not watching.   New12r Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 07:04 pm:        Happens to any non-spool type rear stand. Can tip over if you're not watching. Sure will.   Brucen Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 09:21 pm:        I put little wedges of wood under the wheels of the rear stand. These act like chocks and keep it from rolling. I use little pads of the non-skid material you put under a carpet on top of the pads that hold the swing arm to keep it from slipping.
