Front stands

I have the Pit Bull stand that does both. Get that one.

The bottom for lift is good for quick set-up, but the center pin type has advantages:

1. you can remove/install the wheel without setting it back down (you should not loosen/tighten pinch bolts while on a bottom lift type stand because the added pressure on the lower forks can strip threads)
2. you can remove the forks
