Title: TAKING BOTH WHEELS OFF AT SAME TIME
Post by Joe C on 06/27/09 at 18:54:13

I have to replace both tires on my girlfriends bike. I have a regular bike stand and I was wondering if I can just jack up the bike and take both wheels off. I don't want to offset the weight and was just wondering if anyone's done it.

I wouldnt mind doing that, but I would be really uncomfortable with the idea of the frame just sitting on a stand. If it can be attached to the stand so it cant just fall over, fine, but my choice would be support from above, still sitting on the stand, so it doesnt wobble around at the slightest touch. If I had someone there who knew what to grab & when to grab it, then Id feel better.
