Sur eit can hold it in a driveway but I wouldnt mount that thing to my trailer and put a bike on there and take it for a ride. Looks a bit flimsy comapred to a condor or a baxley.

and how would that be? That is a wheel chock, used to hold a tire stable during transport or on a lift... this is a wheel chock used to hold a tire stable during transport or on a lift. I understand that people also use the more complicated ones to park their bikes in... why I don't know. Broken kickstand? No rear stand?:idk: You know that chock would go great with my roller stand though....hmmmmm....:lol:

I personally only use a wheel chock on a trailer or on a lift table which usually comes with one.

Hey well, it's your loot bro!!! It sounds easier than stopping the bike, putting it in the rear stand and pushing it forward for sure. I have one of those type of chocks for my mountain bike. No kick stand btw.:lol:

The stand Racer X posted is one of the "more complicated" stands.

It does more than act as a parking stop, it locks the wheel into place and holds the bike once rolled into place.

You understand, but don't know?? :nee:

I have a few Sport Chock brand - and I use them for all my bikes. But then, my bikes are trackbikes that do not have sidestands.

Ed. The one you posted - I would use that in a trailer with tie-downs. But, it appears to be a bit flimsy and the idea that a bike could get knocked over in one.... no thank you.

Even the condor ones advertise you dont need front tie downs. that was a chance I wasnt going to take though ;)

I'm retarded! I would use it with tie downs to transport BUT I wouldn't trust it sitting in the driveway.:idk:

I think those things are cool, and would be helpful when transporting but in the garage or driveway, I don't think I need it. Just me of course.

The condors I have are only for the trailer they have a very narrow base so it wouldnt be very stable for a bike to stand up in. Guys at the track use them since most track bikes dont have kickstands, but a lot of them also run tire warmers so they need front and rear stands anyway.

I've seen people load trailer at Daytona that have those and it does look easier for sure!!! If everything goes my way next month, I'll probably buy a trailer and a couple of those HF cheapy chocks for Daytona Bike Week and Spring Break!!:rockwoot: I'm sure my gf would LOVE it!

it is easier the bike locks into the chock so you dont have ot hold it to tie it down, makes it much easier when by yourself ;)
