Is that a current offering at Aldi?

I tried one a while ago. Unless you bolt it to the floor and modify the front piece, you won't get your Rocket into it and it certainly won't hold it. Better off spending a bit more on one that grabs the tyre. Just my opinion.

Les uses on for his rocket just spread the front bracket a bit I think.

I got one a while back .. tried to use it to get the front wheel off the ground so I could run a plank under the sump .. the f#ckin bike went arse over tit. Think i'll just use it to clean the wheels on the Speedie from now on. Borrowed a block and tackle to get the Rocket up to remove the front end.

I'm pretty sure Les' actually grips the front wheel. He just rides into it and it closes in on the sides of the tyre, holding the bike upright. Anyway, for $40....

yes mine clamps the side of the tyre as it rolls in and I also made a wider front bracket
I am sure with your cutting & welding skills @bruce aussie you can tweek it abit

 

[HansO]

yes I also recently bought it and will be doing a couple of mods as it is only designed to take narrower wheel but it wont be hard to modifie

I like the look of this one. Costs a fair bit more though.
