I quite liked Ariel Badger's wheel spinner. He uses it to start his high compression engine.

..Seriously...They make something to rotate the wheel so you can clean and lube your chain? Laughing

Get a grip.

Well thanks for all the 'helpful' replies. It was obviously a silly newbie question.

just use a paddock stand and spin the wheel by hand when cleaning the chain and clean it a section at a time over the rear sprocket.
When lubing just start it up and pop it in gear. why would you want a wheel spinner when the engines designed to do just that Confused

Just don't get your hands near the chain while the engine is turning it, even a 125 at tickover has enough grunt to lop your fingers off...


Trust me, I've seen pictures (on here i think) and some people really are that stupid.

I think people have the wrong idea. A wheel spinner is a device for setting underthe wheel alowing it to be rotated by hand, not something used to rotate the wheel. Very Happy
