I got the Condor set-up in my trailer.

I pull in, pull the bike into the chock, it grabs the front tire when I roll up over it, and holds the bike in place.

I dismount and strap it in. No need for kickstand as the chock holds the bike perfectly upright. Hell, the kickstand don't even reach when its in the chock.



Love my Condor. With the turn of a few wingnuts, I can remove it from the trailer while keeping the lower brackets mounted in the trailer.

Condor makes a quality wheel chock. Other than Baxley or Condor, I personally would not trust my bike with another chock. That is just "my" opinion.

You can save money on a cheaper knockoff. But if you want to know with 100% confidence that your bike will never fall, get a Baxley or Condor.

The benefit of Baxley over Condor is the way our 2 piece cradle clamps the tire as it pivots. Also, you never have to compress your forks with our chock.....

This is your decision and I appreciate that. I hope you will weigh the options and do what is best for you and your bike.

PLUS, BAXLEY AND CONDOR ARE 100% MADE IN AMERICA. That is very important for this country's economy.

Thanks.

Wheeldock is the easiest to get your ride in or out of. No "hump" to push it over. I don't put my bike under power into it so it's simple to just push it in & let the piston lock it. Only drawback is they are not adjustable for tire size so you need the right size for your tire. Taking it back out requires no effort at all, just roll it out after stepping on the release bracket.
