Are you 'older' suffering from arthritis or aches and pains and have problems fitting rear wheels to your bike...I know I do.

Repco have a small wheel lifter on special for $50. Manual operation and only has flat rollers suited to cars but with a home made adaptor to hold a bike tyre would surely make life a lot easier.

On special from tomorrow but in store today so I grabbed one. :kuda:

What you mean better then rolling the wheel onto a socket set case.

Might have to check this out

Lump of scrap timber that sits over the edge of the racestand so I can push on it with my foot and it lifts the wheel to the right height

Right foot works wonders, and its fully adjustable :lol:

I do have size 15 feet too, so maybe not for everyone this method..
