I have never used anything but farthest forward on any bike (mine and many friends bikes, all wheel sizes including up to 21“) I’ve used one on and I have those chocks everywhere (garage, trailer, lift). What’s more to worry about is how low the rear of the fender or skirt is, the rocker lock could come up and hit the fender. Again, I’ve had everything in mine and it hasn’t hit anything but it’s got damn close on a few bikes.

I bought one about 6 years ago, put my wife's Hyosung GV250 on it, it seemed secure. Went on vacation for 2 weeks, bike was laying on it's side.
The chock's been sitting in my garage at the Jersey Shore since then. Anyone wants to come pick it up is welcome to it.

If you didn’t strap it down then that’s too be expected.

Don't know what color they are now but I have heavy duty one from HF, it's gray. When I put it together I just made sure the back stirrup didn't come up and hit the fender. And yes, if you are going to use one, strap it down!

My advice: get a Wheeldock chock. Easy in and out. Very good design and very solidly built. More expensive but worth it.
