Dropping the forks: Lifts, Jacks, etc.

Thu Apr 12 06:53:57 PDT 2007

Where I do my work it's easiest for me to work by hoisting with a come
along or 2 strapped to the frame rails from  an overhead beam.  I've
worked on jacks and stands before but prefer to get the work up higher.
I know someone will say it's not safe, but the way I look at it the bike
really doesn't weigh much.  Engine hoists can work well also.

Anyone who's dropped the forks, how'd you do it? (Aside from "open hand,
drop fork" that
is!)
Do you have a lift?  Deploy cinderblocks under the centerstand and rear
wheel?

I don't have to do it yet, but I'm contemplating my options....

Thanks!
