Hi
I am thinking about buying one of these. http://www.mandp.co.uk/productInfo.aspx?catRef=583537 as I will also need a paddock stand to oil the chain easily and I only have a little space in my garage and was wondering has anyone got one? used one? Is it a one man operation in the video I suspect someone is holding the front end of the bike whilst the other is putting the bike on the thing. What do you think? Also does it have locks on the castors to stop them from sliding around when I dont want them to. |

Waste of time. If you need to turn the the bike just spin it on the side stand. the easy mover gadget would be no use in my garage as it would hook up on the boards over the pit etc.
