    I’m sure the commission for the affiliate link is a nice fat check.

    I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot stick.

      I don’t know that I’d hold it against any mechanic for having one of these. Even if you’re super fit, these bikes can weigh 80+ lbs and you might be working a dozen+ of them per day every business day.

          I think most mechanics are fully capable of lifting 80 lbs onto a stand, but doing it many times a day every day for years without a break seems like a recipe for back injuries.

          I can lift mine up with one hand even, but only once or twice lol. After that I’d probably be increasingly unenthusiastic about it.
