Turning the 1300 - 180 degrees
« on: November 04, 2013, 11:49:31 AM »
This works for me as I have the room. Just  "food for thought". 

The floor is marked so the old nylon chopping board goes is the same place every time.

My driveway is down hill and backing the bike to the street is awkward and I don't wont to drop her again.

Excellent application of "slippery" polymers.  It helps that you have the glass-smooth type of concrete.
The pull up onto the extra height would be a challenge for a few of us.     :H

I might try taking the wheels off the ezy2shift and using it like your nylon chopping board.

A thin steel tray also works and has little affect on the bike height on the centre stand.
