Hi guys, it has now been over a year since I started selling the Rolling Mavericks' UltraLight Enduro Trail Jack Stand, the lightest and most packable on the market. It is a great tool to help you fix flats on the trail or do some maintenance which requires lifting a wheel off the ground. It can raise the front or rear wheel on bikes weighing up to up to 240kg (530 lbs).
The Trail Jack Stand weighs only 140 grams (4.9 oz) And it also fits any 25 cm (10 inches) tool roll.
The Story
Trail jack stands have been around for a long time. Rolling Mavericks' UltraLight Enduro Trail Jack Stand is my idea of a trail jack 2.0, as I wanted to design an improved version. I've used a homemade one for years and never hit the trail without it. It is a simple but handy emergency tool whenever you get a flat on the trail. It beats looking for rocks or sticks to raise your bike, and it is a must-have if you're riding terrain without a tree or rock in sight.
The good, the bad, and the ugly
Nonetheless, I've always had two gripes with regular trail jacks, including my homemade one. Firstly, they are heavy. Most trail stands weigh anywhere from 250 to 450 grams, and every gram counts when riding Enduro or travelling the world on your adventure bike with luggage.
Secondly, a trail jack foot or Y support is bulky. If they are permanently attached to the jack, they are often too long, thick, and wide to fit in most tool rolls.
I designed The Rolling Mavericks' UltraLight Enduro Trail Jack Stand to be ultralight and compact when packed. The kit, including the spring clip and front brake velcro strap lock, weighs only 140 grams, and you can take it apart for easy flat packing in your tool roll.
The use of o-rings makes it easy and quick to put the jack together or take it apart. Yet, when assembled, they hold the different parts together with just enough friction to prevent them from falling out.
With the parts disassembled, the foot is only 6 mm high and packs flat. The outer tube is the thickest part at 18 mm. The Rolling Mavericks' UltraLight Enduro Trail Jack Stand fits right next to my Motion Pro T6 tire levers inside my tool roll. It takes up minimal space without adding much weight.
It's all in the details!
Usually, the Velcro strap used for locking up the front brake when jacking the rear wheel is wide and thick, making it bulky to pack. Also, often it is one-sided Velcro making it very fiddly to install. The UltraLight Enduro Trail Jack Stand uses a thin and narrow, 12 mm double-sided Velcro strap. So no more fiddling to lock the brake.
The UltraLight Enduro Trail Jack Stand has everything you need to use this tool, including a stainless steel spring clip and spare o-rings.
Ultralight, but is it strong enough to hold my 200+ kg bike with luggage?
That's a question I'm often asked, but I'm not going to tell you that it can. After all, seeing is believing
