I need a wheel chock for my Deuce
I'd like to stay around the $100 buck budget range

It will be used in the garage and needs to be easily moved (no bolting down)

I've ruled out the HF one

this one looks like it will suit my needs well

any experience, suggestions, input or other options up to a max of $200 welcome

also, how hard are these to back off of?
I'm prettydamngimpy, so the "easier the better" for me


..L.T.A.

 

That one doesn't look much different than the one I use , purchased at princess auto . I bolted a wooden platform to mine and added ringed eye bolts to strap it down for better stability . I also use a narrow scissor jack with it to raise the rear end . Works for me , but can be a pain getting the bike backed out of the chock when finished . I use the scissor jack to lift the front up enough to pull the chock out of the way . I've gotten used to this method , but hoping someday I can purchase a table , laying on the ground is getting old .

Maybe , have a look at wheel chocks with a " clamp system " , just roll the bike into it and tighten it up , you'll need a base , but a small peace of plywood would do the job .

 

Does not look like it is adjustable for the latching mechanism, the adjustable ones make it easier to get the front tire in and out of the chock.

I have a harbor freight model that I put on my cycle lift and adjusted so the locking mechanism does not fully go forward, it holds a motorcycle well but does not go over the center point much so you can back it off without much effort.

 

It is $18.45 over your $200.00 budget and free shipping.

 

I use this exact trackside chock in my garage on a 2015 road king, a 2017 softail slim, sportsters, and a 2006 night train (plus other jap bikes). I also used it in the bed of my truck to trailer a few softails across the state earlier this yet. They work great, but you will probably have to set for the largest wheel setting.

I have no issued backing the bikes out of the wheel chock as long as I have the chock weighted down (I usually put a 45 lb dumbbell on either side of the chock to keep it in place. You can also bolt it down to the floor.


FYI: Cycle Gear and Revzilla are now owned by the same company, and each sell this chock for the same price. If you have a Cycle Gear in driving distance of you, I’d go check it out in person. They really are well made and work beautifully for the money.

 

I bought the HF model several years ago with plans to bolt it to a piece of 3/4" marine plywood using "wing nuts" thay would allow for quick r&r so I could use it in the garage or perhaps on my trailer if needed. THe "eye-hooks" for security purposes (as another poster mentioned) is a great idea.

I never got around to mounting mine as I decided to go with the HD lift tabel and modified it to meet my needs.

 

The Trackside chock in the Revzilla ad looks like it has three positions for the "rocker". Where you position the rocker will determine the degree of difficulty in disengaging your bike's front wheel from the chock. I learned that with my Condor chock.
The Trackside unit looks like a good deal.
In order to park my Road King in the upright position, I use an ATV jack. It's not much trouble.

 

I am using a couple of the Trackside chocks from Cyclegear. Work like a champ, and they are adjustable.

 

I've had this Baxley Sport Chock for about 12 years. It's easy to roll on and off. It bolts to the floor of my trailer, so all I need is 2 straps to secure the bike.

 

I have a Condor Pit Stop and the HF chock.

With the Condor I have no issues other than the price.
It's quality made and easy in and easy out.

I've got it mounted on a Condor dolly so I can move the bike around in the garage.
Note before I mounted it to the dolly it did slide a bit on my RaceDeck type flooring so I added 2" Velcro to secure it to the floor to stop that.

If you've got the coin I think it's the best chock available.

As for the HF chock; well it works, that's about all I can say about it.
I think if you're on a budget and need something to use from time to time or to put in a trailer it's not a bad chock for money.

However if you're looking to use it regularly as you eluded to I'd rule that out.
I will say it worked well for my Wife's Suzuki Savage but that's a 350# bike.

The "Trackside" chock you linked too seems to be a good medium between the Condor and the HF.
I would think however if you ride up on it somewhat quickly it would likely slide but as noted even the Condor does that.

Below is a picture of my Heritage in the Condor and the Suzuki in the HF chock.
Notice I strap them both down due to even though they will sit in the chock without straps it wouldn't take a lot to push them over.

I've never had them fall over without the straps but the 60 seconds it takes to strap them down is good insurance to me.
If either did fall over it wouldn't take much for that to get expensive.



Below is a picture of the Condor mounted on the dolly.
I really like this setup but it's a bit outside your $200 limit.

If you notice in the second picture to the right of the Heritage you can see the black Velcro on the floor that I used when the Condor wasn't mounted to the dolly.
This is all that was needed to keep it from sliding.

And yes my Wife upgraded from the Suzuki to a Freewheeler so no chock needed there.
