handy tool

Post by firestorm61 »

Handy tool if you are taking out a rear wheel
check it out on e/bay or m@P direct.
saves a lot of time as it supports
when trying to put spindle back in.

Looks handy & something that could have featured on Dragon's Den - I've used (bodged) bungie cords and a piece of wood to achieve much the same thing.

If someone here buys one could they review it and how well it works, esp if it can get past the rear mudguard & no. plate with the wheel on it and raised up/ or how easy it is to raise and lower while in place.

i bought it and it was a godsend
it is adjustable and easy to use
once bike is up on paddock stand
this handy tool just slips underneath wheel
and supports wheel while removing spindle.
taking chain of sprocket etc.
when putting wheel back on
this should be set to sit wheel on while
you refit spindle and sprocket.
saves time and a lot of cursing .
would recommend getting one

Seems like a good idea, but as Wicky pointed out can you get in under the No.plate.

Personal I just push the wheel in, then put me foot under it line it all up & slide the spindle in using me foot to raise or lower the wheel as ness.

I sit behind the bike legs either side and use my the gap between my legs to hold the wheel and bend my knees to lift. :thumbup:
