What Did You Do With Your Commando Today?

Don't let that hold you back, I've never had a lift and don't intend to get one, sitting on a cushion on the floor works for everything you'd ever need to do.

Although, after half an hour of sitting cross-legged on the floor, it does now take a while for my legs to straighten up, several Amazon drivers must have though I'd filled my pants when I've rushed to the door to collect a package

a lifting table was one of the best things I ever bought, worth every £. Can't imagine doing work on my bikes without it. I usually keep a bike parked on the thing, so it doesn't 'waste' floor space when it isn't in use.

Today I have been bleeding the front brake, just having the bike on the lowered table (~6" off the floor) made it easier to reach the caliper bleed nipple etc. (I have a CP2696 caliper, so the bleed nipple is 'inboard' and less easy to get at)

I just roll my lift table under my snooker table when not being used and still play snooker or pool without it getting in the way, as said the lift table was one of the best things I brought for my workshop as well the bike scissor jack that works so well on the lift table, makes life easier on the old back and legs no more laying on the floor to work on the bikes.
