I have had one for 3 years and used with three bikes and my car (in a pinch!) I sprayed the wheels with some white lithium grease and I can now push my bike around singlehandedly. As to my car remark above. I was rotating the tires on my '08 Malibu and my car and bottle jack failed. I decided to try the bike lift and it lifted up the side of my car in no time. I set the safety latch and went about doing my thing. Never failed! Well worth the $59 I paid for it. my only gripe is I wish it was a few inches wider!

I have one also...I've had it for 3 years and it still works great. I mainly use it when detailing the bike and cleaning the rims. I also use it to jack the bike up off the garage floor in the winter time.

Ahhh. Well I guess I now belong to that special group in a group. BTW I was wondering which synthetic everyone thinks is the best. Right now I'm going with Mobile 1. Any suggestions.
