Hey Mark!
I finally took the stands out on their maiden voyage. As usual, I'm buried at work so I don't have a lot of time... but to summarize - the stands were freakin awesome. All you do is roll the bikes into the truck and they're loaded - "easy to use" is an understatement. Three bikes locked in the front of my box truck and more room than ever. No ducking under a spiderweb of straps... I won't even go into the strap problems I've had. These stands keeping the pressure off the forks will be a nice plus too since I always have problems with forks leaking. I didn't want the stands bolted directly in the truck, so I made a plywood base that I can easily take out when I need to haul something other than bikes. Originally, I was going to have 3 separate bases that locked together, but after seeing how close I could get the bikes together I decided to put all three on 1 base. Works like a charm. I'll try and get some pics sometime soon. Anyway, awesome stands - thanks for making loading/unloading SO much easier and secure. Dave M. St. Louis, MO
The Pro unit is awesome. I don't' know why everyone wouldn't stop using straps and use these. This stand is just too easy. Thanks, Gerald M. Wendell, NC
