perce Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I've been considering buying something to get the bike up to a height where I don't have to crawl about on the floor fettling. I've considered one of these:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...7955139200&rd=1 I did think it would take too much room in the garage, so I thought about one of these:- http://www.easy-lifts.com/prices.htm - the moto-x paddock stand. Anyone got one? I know someone is selling a similar product in TMX, anyone got one? Has anyone any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

social climber Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 oops, I feel like a right numbnut, didn't scroll down your link far enough.... Looks the same principle as the one I described though, and after seeing yours at that price, I might get one meself.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 If you still consider a full hydraulic table one..Machine Mart have a special offer on theirs at the moment. Only about 30 quid off I think...but its a fairly reasonably priced one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Ever bought one of those tools that you just couldn't believe you ever lived without? Once you go table lift, you'll never go back. Although...I also work on heavyweight bikes. If I only worked on trials bikes, I'd just make a wooden table and buy the front wheel vise from a lift company. Click here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Portable to events is out of the question for a full-sized lift, but if I want to get both wheels off, I just turn the bike sideways and both wheels hang off the sides.

jtt Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 During the early stages of the "Race for Outer Space" Nasa spent millions of dollars on developing a space pen that would write in zero gravity conditions....the Russians used a pencil. I use a roller stool Added benifit is I can sit down on the job, and have my feet to use as extra hands in some situations (like installing a wheel). Also takes up less room in my already cramped garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin j Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I have the Handy Mfg lift table and also another crank up lift with the wheel vise charlie referred the link to. Both great products. Tje vise is so fast and easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
