Wheel Jockey
The Wheel Jockey is the first product from Bill and Debbie Kniegge, owners of Blue Strada Tours in North Carolina. Tired of the hassle of servicing chains on sport bikes equipped with side stands only, the Kniegges came up with Wheel Jockey. With your back wheel rolled onto the Wheel Jockey, it’s a simple matter of gently turning the wheel to service a chain. The Wheel Jockey uses ball bearing rollers, and is small enough to fit under a seat or in a tank bag. Supports up to 750lb. $54. More info: www.wheeljockey.com.
