T-Rex front and rear stands review
First off, Im sure some of you have these stands and love them and they were probably great right out of the box and when they aren't supporting your bike they probablyfetch the paper andgive you a reach around but here is my review -which is not all bad.
I went with T-Rex even though they are more expensivethan the bargain models like flyncycle and others on ebay. They are less than the Pitbull stands which are real high.
Overall the steel is plenty thick for the task and the wheels seem stout enough to last awhile. It was the freakin drilling of the holes and the way the wheels were pressed in that sucked ***. I had to redrill the holes largeron the outside/top halfjust to get the bolts in. And the rollers aren't even straight unless you put a lot of weight on them. Also the plastic thumb handle where you tighten the sliding brackets were broke the *** off. Thanks for the jagged broken plastic parts T-Rex. After about an hour of fiddling with the pieces of shyt I got them to where they will jack up the bike.
To summarize, if you are in the market for standssave your money and buy the cheap ones, cause I'm sure they will be just as good as the overpriced T-Rex stands.

Thought about contacting them and still might. I have been waiting for parts and junk for my winter project and sending the stands back would put me further behind so I will probably just deal with it.
I may send them an email with some photos but it probably won't make any difference.
All I can do at this point is try to keep someone else from ending up with some of thier crap. Hefty crap it is though.
