Wheel cleaning rollers

[Skunkhome]

I found a coupon from Harbor Freight in the April 2012 edition of Motorcyclist magazine





that allowed me to buy this wheel roller that normally sells for $35 for $20.99




I look forward to using it to clean and oil my chain

What exactly are you trying to clean off the tyre? Can't say I've ever had anything on the tyre that doesn't come off as soon as I get moving, and it doesn't seem to be able to clean anything out of the treads.

That would be great for cleaning and lubing the chain. Be sure to tie the front brake lever to prevent the bike from moving.

I bought it for chain maintenance but also will be great for cleaning the wheels and spokes.

When I clean my bike, I always save the wheels and spokes for last (or the next day), since that is the worst part.
I will have to look into those rollers. Does the bike still use the sidestand OK without additional support needed?

I put a piece of 3/4" plywood under it to level her up but she sits ok without. I may find a piece or 5/4" lumber to put under it later.

I think I've misunderstood it. :blush: When I saw "wheel cleaning stand" I thought it was a machine for cleaning the wheel. From the later postings it seems that it's a stand to put the wheel on while you clean it yourself. :oops:

Oh my Alantf, that is another senior moment for your scrap book. :lol: :lol:

I've used one of these from Harbor freight for years. If you don't have a center stand it really helps when you go to clean and lube your chain or clean the sidewalls of the tire or the chrome wheels. I don't remember for certain, but it seems like I only paid about $20 -$25 when I bought mine.
