I keep thinking I need one of these for my Dummy. If you have one tell me what you think of it. I carry some heavy loads the price just has me hesitating.

Only picture is this one on my husband's web site. I carry my stuff to the Farmer's market every Saturday. http://www.soapandsong.com/page/page/4037473.htm
I guess there's not a lot of people on this forum with a rolling jackass.

The Xtracycle centerstand does not work with the Wideloader so a Rolling Jackass is a must. Its very expensive but considering how much a Big Dummy costs retail - that accounts for the price on the RJ. Its a top-notch BD centerstand!

Not too many on this forum (yet), but here is someone on a different forum with some things to say: http://forums.mtbr.com/showpost.php?p=5501351&postcount=31 He is one of two riders (so far) who have tried the KickBack, and switched.

Val,
Is the Rolling Jackass any wider than the kickback? My kickback's feet measure 11.5" apart center to center.
NormanF,
Are you saying that you can't use the Kickback with wideloaders or that they make it harder to deploy?

The Xtracycle stand works fine with the Wideloaders.

jonsam: The width of the feet varies depending on how far the adjustable sections are extended. At the narrowest setting, they are 13 1/2" apart, and when fully extended, they are 14 1/2" apart. The bike on the stand is stable enough that I have been able to load a full full size keg of beer on one side of the Wideloaders with no problem (other than lifting the keg).
