Featured Bikegrab Front Wheel Chock

So how stable are they?
Would it feel safe enough to be able to sit on the bike, feet up for example?

Did think about getting one in order to carry bikes inside a van (+ ratchet straps obviously) as they will take less length up in use and should be easier to load one manned.

 

Really stable - even grab a Rocket 3 and that's some weight..

 

A mate of mine has something similar on his trailer nose but without the rocking bit.
He has a pair of really short ratchet straps which he loops through the radial caliper mounts i.e. no suspension compression, and the bike travels rock solid at any speed

 

Great, need to add one to the shopping list.

Thanks.

 

Uh oh. "It might be absolutely fine with the addition of ratchet straps?"

 

I had this one given to me and it’s great, very stable and secure and I’ve used it in the back of the van together with ratchet straps no problem.

I got a bit carried away the first time I used a bike trailer...

 

You forgot to strap the seat down..

 

more of a problem was one of the fuel tank mounting rubbers fell off and I had to get a replacement

 

Does the Bikegrab stay in place pretty well without bolting it down? I have a chock now but it slides around so I have to put it against the wall. I don't want to put bolts in my garage floor. Thanks!

 

Yes - it even holds Rocket 3 with no problem

 

Awesome thanks! Looks like it is $175 USD plus $125 shipping to US.

 

Its one tool that I wouldn't part with.

 

I have a 2017 Thruxton 1200 R and was doing the oil change today, hence I was thinking about my crappy wheel chock. The Thruxton doesn't have a center stand. After changing the oil, I see now that it is designed to do the oil change on the side stand. The oil doesn't drain properly when it's level, it needs to be leaning on the side stand. Interesting, and at least easier for my next change.

I sometimes attach a sidecar, and then I definitely need it level though.

 

Sorry if this sounds like a daft question (I'm hovering over the buy button at the moment), but is it easy to wheel the bike out of the chock? It seems to kind of lock in place when you wheel it in and I'm just a bit fearful of an accident if it meets resistance when pulling it out.
