Rollastand Opinion

Tydd · 07-15-2009, 11:14 AM

So I can't afford a Rear stand right now and I'm tired of borrowing from Nikki but I really want to clean my chain and wheels and rolling the bike around to get to the different parts of the chain or wheels is annoying. (Yeah I said that all in one sentence. Screw you Chris.)

What is your opinion of this http://www.hardlineproducts.com/prod...ollastand.html

For the price it hardly seems cheaper than a stand, and I don't understand how you keep the bike from falling over (despite their directions).

Do your pegs fold up? If not, you could throw some jack stands under them. I've also seen guys run a steel bar through the swingarm pivot and put jack stands under that.

Hey Paul

Stand
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=99701

Wheel Cleaning stand
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=98800

I can hear the shi!t talking already but im not a fan of paying 3X what an product is worth. Both those are pretty much failsafe. The stand is lifting and holding what, 200lbs max? And the cleaning stand... Cant fathom what a more expensive version could possibly offer... Oooouu wait. Maybe it has race bearings so you can spin the wheel SUPER fast.

I swear I remember seeing spools on ur bike but if I was wrong... Heres one with paddles. CycleGear wants 89.99 for it

Paddled stand

thats the exact rear stand i have for my bike it was like 34 bucks or 39 but it works perfectly for doing what you need i like mine. and if you really want you can buy the adapter for the spool recievers

Ya I would worry about the bike staying up, and I would also worry about the bearings on that thing. I say just check craigslist everyday and keep an eye out for an actual rear stand!

I got the exact stand. I got the paddle one for the front them got the adapter for the forks. With 2 stands spools and adapters I am only out $109 and that is with shipping. The low pro stand construction is very sound. I might get a better front one in the future as this one is really wide. What can I say Iam a cheap bastard.

Anyone use this specific one yet?

e11charlie · 07-15-2009, 04:33 PM

That is the one I just got. There is nothing wrong with it so far, welds are sound so is the construction.

Sorry if I had read your post better I would have seen that you got that one.

Thanks. I'll be stopping at the local store tonight and hopefully they'll have it.

e11charlie · 07-15-2009, 06:10 PM

Dont bother the only one they have is the Paddle stand. The people that work there are not that smart.

agreed they had no ida what the hell i was talking about when i asked for a motorcycle rear stand. i got the look when a dog tilts its head to the side. ive got the paddle one and it works good though and it was cheap

r1bran · 07-15-2009, 06:18 PM

Dont know where you guys live but I saw the spooled stand and the wheel cleaning stand last time I was in there. It was at the one on Fairview between 5mile and Maple Grove

e11charlie · 07-15-2009, 06:30 PM

Well it has been two weeks since I have been in but the people that work there are morons. Dont ask for it just find it yourself, could take a while because the store is not that organized.

bladed101 · 07-15-2009, 06:35 PM

Hey this is what I have and it works great even with me sitting on the bike I have never had an issue http://t-rex-racing.com/catalog.php?...&ret=index.php

e11charlie · 07-15-2009, 06:55 PM

Thats not a bad price either damn it where were you 3 weeks ago?

AndrewM87 · 07-15-2009, 07:17 PM

You could make something like that for cheaper.

Not to mention it would probably be crooked too.

Tydd · 07-16-2009, 10:16 AM

I went and picked up the paddle one. They had the spool one but I wanted the ability to lift both the front and back so for now I have just that one. 52 for the stand and front fork adapters. Thanks for your help everyone.
