[chillo]

I need to get some, any recommendations??
what size thread/pitch do i need?
(got a suitable paddock stand already, but can't find the bobbins that went with it!)

Pretty sure they are 8mm.
Ive got some black R&G ones,...cost about a tenner.

I put some gucci jhp ones on mine.........similar money i think....it was all a blur!

KeefyB is right, they are definitely 8mm, I bought a new stand as I let my single sider go with my 748 thinking I wouldn't need it anymore. The problem was I could not get the confidence lifting the new bike up and found it even more scarey getting the bike off the stand. I ended up buying an identical replacement stand to the one I let go. It could of just been me, but if someones not bothered about removing the rear wheel and they do not already have a stand I feel it's far easier and stable lifting the 749 using the single sider pushed into the wheel spindle.
