    I "acquired" a second-hand paddock stand, the intention being to save me
    the hassle of having to swap between hooks and cups depending on the
    bike that I was trying to lift[0].

    However, the previous owner managed to lose two of the wheels[1], which
    makes it rather less stable than I'd like...

    Is it possible to buy new ones? Where from?



    [0] This problem is currently being avoided by only 'owning' one bike,
    for the first time in nine years.
    [1] Don't ask.

    Check out Machine Mart. Nationwide and with a fucking huge range of wheels.
    Failing that, Maplin.

    You didn't state you wanted gold plated wheels.

    I wanted some that weren't likely to be overpriced, if they even had
    anything remotely suitable. Which they don't, so that solves that problem.

    I dunno... is it a nice one? How much did it cost? Is it already loaded,
    or would I have to do that myself?

    That's not as stupid an idea as it originally sounds.

    Pity I haven't got an old roller skate, really.

    Skateboard wheels? Must be a sports shop somewhere near that sells
    them.

    Too small, I think.

    It's big enough to kill without bullets. if that's any help.

    I've got a set of wheels off a roll cabinet (tool box to you) sitting
    in my van doing **** all and I can drop two off at your parents if you
    want me to?

    Maybe...

    I've realised I've been thinking about this in a limited way. I've been
    looking for wheels to exactly replace the two are missing, the solid
    plastic ones like on the first paddock stand on this page:
    http://www.4-motorcycles.co.uk/acatalog/Front_Paddock_Stands.html

    However, all I need is something with the same internal bore and
    diameter. I'd better measure the remaining ones.
