Customers found the product to be sturdy, well-constructed, and effective for routine maintenance, especially when dealing with bikes lacking a center stand. The item simplifies chain cleaning and lubrication, praised for its compact design and ease of use. While some customers noted issues like sliding on smooth surfaces and wheels moving across the rollers, these were generally minor drawbacks. The product was appreciated for providing a practical, space-saving alternative to traditional stands despite occasional issues with heavier bikes or particular tire types.
The product is great in principle to inspect tyres and clean but slides on ground before wheel goes over roller drilled two holes in middle of mine to fix on soft ground and stuck a piece of rubber mat to bottom for hard surfaces works fine now thanks
Easy to use with the added bonus of a prop stand Puk.
I bought this from Sportsbikeshop at a very discounted price. First impressions were its a great idea & will be perfect for cleaning my front wheel whilst my bike is on its paddock stand.
A little disappointed though... The item has a very slippery bottom, so it tends to 'run away' from the front wheel when you approach it. That was overcome by placing the item on a non-slip mat, which helped. The second disappointment was how stiff it was to turn the front wheel whilst sitting on the spinner. The wheel certainly doesn't spin! It does turn though, making it possible to clean all around the front wheel. Another niggle is the front wheel of my bike wants to track to the edge of the spinner all the time. You really need to keep the wheel dead straight & dead centre to prevent this.
A great idea but sadly needs some refinement!
Well made and easy to use. Would be improved by some rubber on the base to prevent sliding whilst rolling the bike onto the roller.
As someone who struggles to get my bike on/off my paddock stand without pestering my wife to hold my bike, having this has been a godsend - I no longer get it in the ear! Cleaning my bike is a piece of cake now!
Sturdy and solid for what it is. I was surprised when I got it out the packaging because I wasn't expecting the build quality.
Absolutely perfect for me to use on my small 250 (130-150kg), which is lightweight, and works a charm when cleaning and lubricating the chain.
The roller comes with two puck stands, which for me was needed.
I have given it a 5 star as it works great for me, but I am not sure how well it would work on heavier bikes.
Also, if using this its best to use a strap or zip ties to hold the front brake.
This thing is perfect. Really glad I bought it.
I try and keep my bike 'tip top' but we all know that doing the chain march up and down the drive to clean and line the chain is a real pain.
This thing is perfect, roll the bike onto it, get in position and clean your chain. No getting up and moving the bike then getting down again.
It's well made, really solid and also low profile enough that you can store it easily.
Got better results cleaning and lining the chain in about a third of the time it normally takes me.
Highly recommended.
I tried this for back wheel but even with the chocks for the side stand it didn't work well at all. It looked like the stand was being pressed outwards. Under the front wheel it was just dangerous. Don't buy it.
Solves a problem I have had for many (many!) years which have got much worse as I get old..........lubricating a bike which only has a side stands chain.
Excellent quality and no more risky pulling the wheel off the ground on the side stand by pulling the bike over!
Very well made, finish is very good, doesn't move when rolling bike on to it and you don't need any help using it. I am a toolmaker and I don't know how they make it for the price.
Purchased to clean the front wheel on a heavy maxi scooter. You need to brace it against something otherwise it just gets pushed along by the bike. When you finally manage to get it on as others have said it will the bike will move across the rollers. Nice idea but not a lot of use to me. On the flip side it's well made.
So simple to use, easy to store. Appears to be well made. For routine maintenance, it is perfect. A lot safer than a paddock stand when used outside on an uneven surface.
The roller seems quite robust. Very easy to get on the rollers. Good that a raiser pad for kickstand is included. The only downside - sometimes the wheel slides sideways on the rollers. Perhaps the bike needs to be positioned perfectly straight in relation to the roller . Overall very good equipment.
This is just what I needed to enable me to clean and lubricate the chain on my bike, which doesn't have a centre stand. The wheel spinner is sturdy and has rollers with bearings. It is easy to get the bike on to the spinner. I found that the bike tended to move across it as I turned the wheel, but that may just be the way I positioned it. Guess I need a bit more practice. Overall I am very pleased with it.
Quicker and easier to roll the bike up and down the drive.
Well made sturdy bit of kit easy to use makes cleaning chain so much simpler
Wanted a spinner to make bike maintenance and cleaning as easy as possible - and it does!! I looked at several on the market but SBS won the day, excellent pricing including carriage and with me the next day!!
Best way to use this for my 210 kg bike is to roll it forward onto the spinner and then mount it on the centre stand - much easier and visible to do!!
Thank you SBS.
Does the job well for a good price.
Seems sturdy.
The wheel spinner allows either the front or rear wheel to be freely and easily rotated for cleaning and maintenance. The rollers utilise sealed bearings and the distance between them can be adjusted for all wheel sizes.
