I'm happy with the inexpensive pulley type system such as the Racor PBH-IR. After the last sheave the line goes through before leading to your hand there is a jamming lever that is manipulated by altering the angle of the line. The line will be leading down past your front wheel so you want to think about where to stand before hoisting away or you may have it on the wrong side of the front wheel.
Next time I rig it I will add an additional block on the ceiling above the handlebars such that the last sheave with the jam feature will be located a bit farther away for a better fair lead. Mounting a sailboat jam cleat nearby can be handy for having both hands free to fuss with the bike in the middle of the operation. Once hoisted you will have a lot of line to coil up and stow someplace in a esthetically pleasing manner that will meet you S.O.'s standards of seamanship. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
