I just got my new T-Rex stands. I tried putting the front stand(with the triple tree option) together. All I have is two sleeves,two hex bolts and two wing nuts to put this thing together. I called customer service and he told me to just finger tighten the wing nuts!!! Anyone else have these that can comment or post some pics so I can compare to mine? Thanks |

yeah, that's right! The front stand is designed to be used with the back, its not rigid, it will pivot on the axle to allow the bike to be lifted in the air. The Trex stands work well. Had both tires off for 3 hours during a tire change and no issues. The stands make tire changes so easy |

Hmmm- this one is about 3 years old - maybe he changed the design...no wing nuts on mine

Thanks guys! I have always used to under fork lift and had no clue how to use this. I was thinking it had to be rigid. |

That is the same as mine, no wing nuts. Make sure you place a towel over the front fender just in case. |

Make sure it's on a rear stand too BEFORE you use the front, it relies on the bike being unable to move laterally in order to lock in position vertically.. |

Got it up on both stands last night. Very easy to use the triple tree stand. I layed a towel on the front fender and it was pretty tight. |
