Default Wheel Chock

The wheel chock on my trailer is a generic one like the knock offs of the Condor. Your wheel rolls over the "trap" that then pivots up and locks the wheel in the chock. Problem is that it's too hard for one person to pull the bike off the chock while standing on the diamond plate bed. Allways need to ask for help. Any suggestions on a chock that would hold bike but be truely "one person" operation. Thanks. Please no "*****" comments about the trailer or inablilty to pull heavy bike off chock. I'm in my mid sixties with severe back problems and still riding.

Do you happen to have the Harbor Freight chock? I have that one and it took my a while to realize that if you move the front stop back a few holes towards the cradle it's much easier to get the bike out.

I have the HF chock and have found that if the trailer is higher in the front rather than level my EG comes out much easier. Works for me.

2 strips of rubber about 8" wide for you to get some grip.

I have several of these and they work well. One good pull gets it out of the chock.

Default chock

i think i have the same chock u r referring 2. mine is also very hard to get out. i was thinking of trying to rig something up that would connect 2 the moving part of the chock that i could push down w/my foot while sitting on the bike that would help w/this problem.
