Unfortunately, one of my bikes tipped over during transport in my nifty trailer. No damage, but a bummer nevertheless. So I need a pair of wheel chocks to mount in the trailer.

Leveraging the vast knowledge of all of you, could you point me in the right direction and give me any feedback you have on your experiences with them?

Thanks

If your cheap, most people are (kidding) the ones on the BC Ferries work quite well and I doubt are sorely missed if they go missing. In any case, I'm sure they wont break the bank to shell out a few dollars or you could even make some yerself.
Glue some 1X6" chunks of wood together that are about 3/4" shorter than the piece below it, until it reaches the height required. Use a piece of rubber for grip on the bottom

The ones at BC Ferries WILL be sorely missed -- by the next rider who goes looking for them! :banghead

Anyway, i don't thnk those are the kind of chocks that Franks is looking for. I believe he's asking about the metal cages that the front wheel slips into. Something like this:

Depends how fast you want it, Frank. I'm sure Jewell's Dad could conjure something up for you. PM me if you're interested.

I kinda would like to find the ones where you roll the bike into them and they stand the bike up using a pivot point. Remove from trailer and use at the track.

Just a friendly word of advice....PINGLE Stands........have been known to break. The average set will run $100 up and the ones you just ride into without needing straps or ropes are a couple a hundy
