Since all of you seam to have (more or less) problems with the main stand,
I'm happy now that I didn't buy one ...
The oiling of the chain without mainstand only needs more space - ~ 10 meter.
The retensioning of the chain can also be done when the rear tyre is on the
ground.
And if you rearly have to lift it, there are more possibilities:
1) The one Phil showed us on the meeting: move the steer to the right side,
and pull the bike towards you (you should stand on the left side).
So the bike is now standing only on the front tyre and on the side
stand.
2) The solution from Jörg.
3) There is a device available from Polo I think which is nearly the same
as the solution from Jörg. It looks like a car-lifter.
