They look good although for that price you could get a decent paddock stand and just do your chain/work before you set off, these jacks dont look very secure to do more than lube the chain.

Nice idea but far too expensive for what it is. Easier to just lube a bit of the chain, then roll the bike forward.

Or get a scotoiler

My 1st thoughts were that looks sh!t then thats pretty clever, then how much!??

If it was half the price and I hadnt already got a scottoiler I MIGHT consider it just to throw in my luggage when touring. I'll stick with my NWS stand methinks

Been around for some time and otherwise called a "liftstick".

Someone I know has one under his seat - you can take this on holiday with you, you can't take a paddock stand, which despite the lack of understanding evidenced by the above comments it's clearly not competition for.

I don't like the idea it tips away from you, if you have got no one the other side of the bike to catch it incase it goes over.

Not for me thanks.

Tommy H - Yes I couldnt agree more if I were reading just the title Id think gosh thats really dull i wont look at the content - its one thing to move it another to re name the title - it was getting enough interest with the original subject title

Other than lubing your chain (get a scottoiler) what would you need to take 1 with you for? Spending £48 on a flimsy thing for occasional use = complete lack of understanding
