Default Using Condor's chock in garage ...

How does this work as a garage chock? Can you drive into it and leave your bike without tying it down? Does it slide when driving in or pulling the bike out? I'm considering buying one for my trailer and would like to use in garage too.

i have two of them....use them in the garage and in my trailer. They work great both places. In the garage, I just drive right into them. No sliding, no moving, and keeps the bike up with no assitance. I love them....great product.

I'll second that tobster. Great product in both the trailer and the garage. Locks the wheel right in and no worries.

I have one in my garage no problem getting in but it did slide getting it out once in a while until I bolted it to the floor. My floor is very smooth maybe thats why it slid.

Good point about the slick floor. I bolted mine down pretty much to mark her territory, my new bikes don't leak like the old one... LOL!

The Condors are the best investment for single person tying a bike down imo. I put two in my trailer and will be putting them in the new one. I got the ones that are for bolting in only and in hindsight wish I would have purchased the ones you can use without bolting down. Just pull the bike into them and get off. Currently there are two bikes in my trailer standing up straight and not tied down but the trailer isnt going anywhere right now.

I've been using one for almost two years now. Yes, it works great in the garage. It can slide a little depending on the surface it is sitting on. On the concrete floor, I found it would slide forward approximately 1" every time I rode up onto it. After I put it on a non-skid rubber mat, this cured the problem of it slipping forward.
