XC bobbins?

[Zorro]

I just bought an Oxford rear wheel stand for the XC. Is does not come with bobbins? What size bobbins does the XC take? Salesman as clueless as me...

Depends whether you want to be able to remove the wheel. There are no threaded holes on the swingarm itself to attach bobbins. R&G do a swingarm protector that you could use with the stand. Basically a bit of threaded bar through the rear spindle with skateboard wheels bolted on each end. If you want to remove the rear wheel this is not going to help though. You can get paddock stands with supports which go under the swing-arm. Not as secure as hooks under bobbins but the only way if you want to remove the wheel.

XC bobbins...

Thanks. I just wanted to oil the chain properly...
I guess there will now be a new unused Oxford rear stand for sale soon on this site Cheers
