"Of course there are always guys around who tell you that if you aren't using uranium sintered ceramic kevlar coated monomolecular gold plated whats its you are a fool."
I've used those for years. I can't see much difference than using the carbon saturated,latice structuredbuckyballs tubular cross braces.After reading about the end effects of compatible but inversely proportional materials, I don't feel that the cost is prohibitive to contain the stress values at a nominal rate, not unlike the titanium borites used in laminated sheer structures.
BTW, I really like my Sears lift. As others have stated, be careful and make sure you go slowly and balance the bike. Also, don't forget that when you take a wheel off from either end the balance will change, sometimes dramatically. This is where tying thebike down will help a bunch.
