    I might purchase a pair this Christmas for a treat.
    My questions are; 1) are they just a gimmick ? 2) which is the best of these two ? Thanks

    I have the Gilles.. really cool piece of kit and dead easy to use.. wheels off / on with chain adjustment right back to where it was without touching it.. and amazing at minor tweaks to get the alignment spot on.. :)

    Wouldn't bother with the yoshis as they only replace the blocks and won't assist with adjustment.

    Got the lightechs myself and they really do quicken up the process but them or the Gilles are good

    What are lifters? And why do you need the lock nut?

    lifters are just for the rear paddock stand.. and the lock nut is purely for aesthetic reasons.. just looks ace :)
