And if you really want to go into the finer points of SOH, remember you probably measured your PBH barefoot. Or maybe you were wearing socks? How many millimeters thick were the socks. Did you just eat because the additional weight would compress the socks. And you don’t ride barefoot. Which

Hi Joel Are you talking a work stand or display stand. I have a couple of Nitto display stands that are quite nice but designed for 120 or 126 rear hubs so a bit of a wrestle to install. I also picked up a couple of Minoura stands that are newer so more readily fit modern bikes. More convenient
