Default Wheel cleaning stand????? Anyone have this?

I just saw this on HF's website. Do any of you have this? I'm thinking it might be nice to have to keep my WWW tires clean?

My J&S jack allows easy cleaning along with making maintenance less of a chore.

I have a jack as well (craftsman professional aluminum) and it works well, but was just wondering about this thing.

My friend let me try his, it is hard to turn the wheel due to the weight of the bike. Get it off the ground! Try this http://www.flyncycle.com/biketek-adj...ke-raiser.html

I use my lift table ..but looking at that I dont thing it would work very well with the bike on a kick stand.Looks like it would work better if the bike was upright.

I had one similar to that one I got from an ad in a old Easy Rider mag.
I gave it to a friend when I got my first jack stand.

That, lifts one end of the bike when a jack lifts the entire bike. Easy choice to give it away.

I have one like it. It works better on the back wheel, where it stays parallel to the wheel travel. The front must be pointing straight ahead and stay that way, or it wants to wander off to the side.

Biggest benefit for me is when I roll the front wheel up on it, it allows me to fit my lift under the bike. I tend to keep my bike suspended low, so this gets the frame just high enough to get the lift in there.

i dont have this one,i made my own. they are very useful when cleaning your wheels and would be good for cleaning the white walls, also good for just inspecting your tires for wear or cracking.

I have had one like that for, say, 20 years. Someone has just come up with a new name and use for the long existing cable roller. You put a drum of 500kg electric cable on it and unroll it with ease.
