Portable Stand - Trackdays

Just stumbled across this while on a bored trail through youtube of jumping from one to the next through the related videos of recommended videos (weve all done it) Its being "modelled" on a curvy aswell.

Not sure i like it all that much, sure it looks easy and compact, etc. So good for someone on a track day, you can just bung it under your seat or in a bag. But what can you actually do with it?

Change tyre/wheel? Maybe, on the paddock stand spools, doubt i would trust it
Lube chain? Yes, but thats something to do BEFORE the track day
Much Else? Not really

Conclusion - Unless you live somewhere where a paddock stand is not an option, then not a lot of use. One of these would be handy for small maintenance, such as lubing the chain/helping a little with cleaning. But thats all i can see of it.

Just thought i would share my find with you, I personally prefer my paddock stand.

That axle version looks reallllly insecure!

I've got one of those, guaranteed my bit of 3x2 was cheaper though.

3x2! Are you made of money?

That's way overspec, mine's only 2x1 and is plenty strong enough. :D
