2 manufacturers went out of business, and could no longer make the 'crutch' style bike props for us.
Phoned 2 others, not interested in making them, to a price point, of course!
So I imported Snap Jack, which is a very good option, next 20 will be under R1k, due to improved Ran/Dollar rate, and shipping bulk, with different shipper.
Once-off purchase, and we expect them to be shared between say 3 or 4 small bike riders, with just ONE rider carrying one Snap Jack...
Still, we recognize that it IS a lot of money, I will re-double my efforts to either source the crutch-type jack again, or get more manufactured.
Cheers
