Handy tool

Post by yamaha_george »

OK so the bike takes up room in the garage / shed / lounge and you need to move it quickly & easily and in a small a space as possible.
try this :-

My local tool dept was closing down & had just the one, I bought it & so I used one to pop under the back wheel by rolling back onto it. now the bike can be turned in just about its own length very handy.

Just bought 4 more on line to replace the ordinary wheels under my tool chest stack to make the thing actual movable where I need it rather than where it feels to go at present.

Haro,
somewhere in this forum i seem to remember posting some italian chappy's device for moving expensive bikes in a show room they were something like a grand apiece .

This one by no means being so sophisticated and at about 5USD and sub 5 UKP was a good idea for, if you will pardon the pun "cheapskates" like me.
