Good morning,
When a bike is standing/stored for a period of time, I understand that it is good practice to park the bike on a bit of carpet and rotate the wheels occasionally to reduce the risk of tyre flat spotting.
This is difficult to do when my bike is in its stand with a front wheel chock.
Has any one had any issues with this… stored long term (3 months?) in a wheel chock distorting the tyre?
Thanks.
Mike

Proof of the pudding…? Went out for first ride of spring and no adverse effects noticed.
Interesting point about paddock stands. I would do that but guzzi v7s and off-the-shelf paddock stands don’t seem to go together.
