A simple wheel lift?

Luddite · 31-03-2020, 01:30 PM

I got one of these air wedges for hanging doors. It gives about 2 - 2½ inches of lift so isn't enough on it's own to lift a wheel (for me anyway). But used on top of a bit of wood, a few pumps raises the wheel to exactly the right height.

Having said that, I can't remember the last time I used it - the rear is a single-sided swinging-arm so is easy anyway and for the front, I've been using the Mr Gazza toes method as I can't be bothered to dig out the wedge.

Oh that's nice, didn't know they existed.

I'm going to have to get one of them.
