<< I'm really impressed with my DualStar centerstand, but found no place to grab for the big hoist up. >> Easiest way to deploy the centerstand is to lean the bike to the left on the sidestand until the rear wheel is off the ground enough to extend the centerstand. Then you just rock the bike up straight and flip up the side stand. Biggest problem with the centerstand is that it doesn't have a tang to put your foot on for leverage.

This was on my mind but I continued to do them anyway. I was trying to keep the wear on the tires even, the front is rarely on the ground. 8^)

Good thinking. Not to sound like a "mother hen", but watch your back lifting like this. Unless you can get your knees under it and lift with your legs... Cheers, Arne
