I have it and it is one of the best contraptions I have bought! I think I paid 79.99 for it online. It works and don't waste your money buying the same damn thing for 200 -300 dollars.

I have had 1 for 2 years Poppy. My WG weighs 700

for what I do it is OK. You may be looking at a better

model than mine. I think I only paid 30 or 40.It rolls

around OK and keeps the bike up.Keep your floor clean

or strap the bike down. Those solid wheels don't go

over small pebbles, or boltsvery well at all.

Tried to attach a pic but it is too large. I willtry later

I have a cycle slider. It was alot more money than the amount your talking about. I have to tell you it's a very sturdy piece of equipment. It also works great. It has a braking system on it so when you ride up on it it doesn't roll. I did some research on here before I shelled out the money and almost all the people that responded said the one your looking at was flimsy and had a tendency to bend or warp as you rode up on it. I don't have any of those issues with the one I have. I don't think looking at the pictures of that one that it has any way to keep it from rolling as you try to ride the bike on it. On mine I set the brakes, ride on it, leave the bike in gear. Take the brakes of and push it up against the wall. When I want the bike I roll it out, set the brakes and ride the bike off it. I leave it where I rode off of it with the brakes set for when I get back. Works great for my application. I have a small 2 car garage with not alot of extra space.
Hope this helps your decision.

I, too, have the Cycle Slider and it is a great device and works as advertised. My buddy has a cheap one that he has standing against the wall waiting for some one to come along and ask for it so he can get rid of it. It flexes and is hard to turn if you finally get the bike on it . Watch the video at http://www.cycleslider.com/and see how well it works.

I've hadthe one below from HF for about a year. 1500lb capacity and it holds my RKC with no problem. Can't beat the price and it works great.

Has anyone see or have any experience with the new "ALUMINIUM" Harbor Freight Jack/Dollie ??
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94715

Looks good for a buck fifty..
I could go up and get the Sears model. Not too far from me. Harbor Freight is 2 Towns away.

I need to do something as I have some mods changes I want to make and my Buddie is getting tired of me borrowing his Jack..!!!

I'm looking at the table lift. It sounds like Harbor Freight is the way to go.
