Default Condor Chock, which position do you use ??

OK Quick question, For those that have a Condor Chock and a 2009 or newer Ultra, what cradle position do you use. Starting from where you enter the chock, do you usr the 2nd or 3rd hole ???

Thanks in advance, Be Safe JIM

When loading a condor your wheel rolls up and over the pivot on the chock. If the chock is too far back the wheel rolls down off the pivot point a lot. Maybe 2" lower. To unload your bike you gotta roll 400+ # up and over the pivot. Ugh. Adjust so the wheel rolls down enough to squeeze tight against the front rest, but no so far down that the wheel rests far below the pivot. The front of my chock is not resting on the floor when bike is loaded. Much easier to get our heavy azz bikes off the wheel chock.

Thanks for the replies, I tried the 3rd position, think it's going to work.

It's pricey, but if you ever try a WheelDock chock you never use anything else!
Securely holds bike and NO PIVOT POINT to bust a gut backing your bike over!

3rd hole is most secure. I use one on my lift table and don't even put a strap on it, when loading bagger. When I load a bike with a 21" wheel I HAVE to put strap on it.
If using on lift table - put a sizzor jack under frame and hand tighten, in case front tire loses air. Bike will fall

Wheeldock is so much easier.

No hump to push our 900 lb monsters off of.

Maybe- but you have to get off the bike and balance it while tightening the chock. With a little practice you can just jerk fully loaded dresser back off Condor

Not true.
Release the lever, the block comes up and holds the bike stationary while your able to get off and strap her down.
Thats what I do any who.
