Well, thanks to a few good members on the forums, I got the codes for a really good price on the HF chocks. I finally got them setup last week but still have to paint the setup and add the 2x6 to the sides for extra backup support but I have a few pics. I used T-nuts on the bottom to mount 3/8" bolts from the top. Seems pretty secure and the way they are setup, I can put them in a trailer or move them around the garage but still not worry about them sliding around.

 

this looks like a very simple & effective way to hold up the bikes. thanks for posting.
what did the chocks cost you & do you have a part number?

 

With the discount code they were $39.99 plus $6.99 shipping each. Another $20 in the strand board and T-nuts and bolts. I like it because I can move them around wherever I want, even put them in a trailer. Here's a rear view, it really saved me space in my narrow garage.

 

sturdy enough to clean the bike standing up ? looks great, thanks for the pics!

 

What a great idea! Thanks for posting this.

 

Thanks Udawg. I picked up one of these for the same price with the coupon code a month or so ago. I havent unboxed it yet though.

How are you finding getting your wheel in and out of the chock? Did you have to adjust the chock at all? Although I would have someone to help me if needed, it would be nice if I could get my RG in and off this unassisted.

Thanks

 

I drive it in and when you get ready to take it out, it's kind of a ****** and grab the front brake, then ****** again and it works fine. Very stable in the chock. I don't use any tie downs. You have an adjustment on the chock to make it easier or harder to get out. The further back you adjust the pins, the easier it is to get out so depending on your bike, I would try all the way back and then add one hole at a time until it is stable. I also had to add about 4 - 3/8" washers to each side of the adjusting rod to take the looseness out. I'm also going to add a 2x6 to each side for at least a couple feet to help me have a better footing when removing it from the chock. If you are short, they could be 4x6 and make it easier to reach.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I really appreciate the pics and description you gave.

 

Absolutely stable enough to clean without tie downs.

sweet! probably a dumb question but if i get a bike in it with a 21" front wheel or an 18" wheel not a 16" wheel what do you think still stable or need a different craddle? do you kno if there available ?
