    :mad:ABSOLUTELY FECKIN SHITE:mad:
    Don’t be tempted to buy one of these costway bike lifts :(
    This piece of cheap Chinese shite collapsed on me before it had even lifted the back wheel off the ground :eek:
    Luckily my bike NUDGER was secure in the bump stop at the front end otherwise he could have come crashing down on me :tired_face:and I would be wearing him instead of riding him :eek::mad:BE WARNED THESE LIFTS ARE SHITE :mad: 4021A36F-A27B-4895-B0A3-1EB8345F2E94.jpeg D314D958-CC49-433C-8197-B129F82F2F69.jpeg

    Still wouldn’t recommend one of these :mad:
    But I’ve been in touch with the seller through amazon and now that I’ve had a full refund :) I can tell you that after it collapsed :mad: I decided to see if I could fix it :confused:
    I held off posting this cos you never know who’s looking :eek:
    But they’ve not asked for it back :)and I’ve managed to make it workable by attaching the nut to the lift shaft and welding it on :)
    Lifted NUDGERS back wheel clear off the table so I could clean the back wheel and lube the chain etc :cool:
    It’s still a piece of cheap shite though :mad: 9E7EAD0E-ABD9-4639-8DBE-E86DB2EB73CE.jpeg

    Take it they weren’t bothered sbout having it back? No doubt your like me and you’ll have it modified before you even think about it?!

    You’d have thought they might want it back to check why it failed in order to improve it, makes me wonder what kind of product testing went into it before releasing it for sale (none). o_O
