Tire Check

Greetings Trikers,
Since getting my Roadsmith trike I feel I lost the "center stand" ability to raise the tires and check for nails and such.........:confused:

Then I discovered if I use the center stand placing a 2x4 under, I can raise the front tire which is good.
I suppose using my floor jacket on center would serve the same purpose.

How do you guys check your rear tires?

Cheers!

You still have a center stand..... not my R/S I use the jack pictured under the rear across the hitch braces..... use the same stand up front with the uprights centered on the frame... it from K&L MC450 Center Jack

Look, Feel then roll forward, And repeat as necessary..
That's how I do it..:Shrug:
 
I removed my centerstand when I installed the running board supports that my installer did not attach.

I use a 1500# atv lift under the hitch frame to lift the rear end and have it stable.
