Default roll stand or easy roller

Does anyone use any of these to clean their wheels ? Basicly it is a set of rollers you set the wheel on and you can spin the whell to clean it without rolling your bike up and down the driveway.The roll stand is about $70.00 and the Easy roller is about $179.00

I have the Harbor Freight cheapie. I think it's $79 now. It does the job and also comes in handy when you wanna work on the bike.

Can you fit it under your bike? The only jack I've found that I think will get under mine when I'm done (I don't have air-ride) will be a Larin.

I just picked up the Harbor Freight model for $40 at the local pawn shop. I figured for the price I couldn't go wrong. Tried it out and was pleasantly surprised how stable the bike was with both wheels off the ground.

I have used the HD wheel roller at free bike washes at Daytona and MB Bike Weeks. They are not worth a crap. It takes a good bit of muscle to turn the wheel. A lift is a better option.

I bought the HD roller and was never able to move the rear wheel on my Ultra using it. Consider it a piece of junk. I just noticed that Sears in today's ad has $47 off the nice aluminum bike lift. That would be what I would recommend.
