    PM me the price as it is not on the web that I could see. I need to get one or two of them and another stand.

    I wonder if it's sturdy enough to handle moving the wheel/swingarm when removing/installing a rear shock

    I obviously haven't seen it in person, but does Pit bull build anything that isn't heavy duty made to last two lifetimes?

    With all due respect, and at the risk of sounding like a cheap-ass racer, this does nothing that a carefully measured block of wood cut to the appropriate height won't do.

    That being said, if Pit Bull's name is on it, it is virtually indestructible.

    I bought one, if it speeds up a rear tire swap it's paid for itself IMO.

    This. The chunk of wood I've been using for the last 5 years has proven indestructible also. Cost: $1.50. Good people, good products but I just don't see this being something that anyone will feel the need to own.

    It was released today, they made an initial run of 100 units. They sold most of those already. I'm guessing quite a few people feel differently

    Most of the stuff I have seen from pit-bull has been very well made.
    But
    I have been using a wood piece for over 40 years and I can't tell you how many guys I have told about it. Also if you are good with a saw you can cut a piece of wood so it works on the rear then flip the wood on its side and it works for the front. OH wait maybe I just spoiled their next invention.

    I have used the wood trick for years and it's not perfect. This gadget won't be perfect either but I betcha its closer than the block of wood 99% of the time. Slight adjustments shouldn't be to complicated and can be done easily with the available adjustment wheel.

    I have had times where a wheel swap was needed quickly and sure as my names roy that stupid Suzuki rear wheel becomes my enemy. It almost never fails.

    If you have multiple bike like some people I can see this thing being a fantastice time saver....

    I'll need to order one soon as I hate changing out rear tires.

    I am going to have a bonfire at the next track event to burn all of your supposedly "indestructible" blocks of wood. JT, want to make s'mores?
