This is the key! I called the company and that is what they told me. This makes all the difference

Which is the key? Compression/rebound or bolt it down?

Both. It needs to be bolted. Also pushing down and use the rebound to help pull back really works.

When unloading from the trailer using the condor chock I put a brick under each of my feet for extra leverage. Works like a charm!

My Condor sits on a smooth concrete floor and sometimes the stand wanted to slide when I go to pull the bike out. When that happened, I used to have my wife stand on the front of the stand and it came out easily. I got a piece of carpet gripper and placed it underneath the front support part of the stand. This provides enough purchase to keep the stand from sliding, allowing the bike come out of the stand with little effort.

+a bunch on using the rebound to help you. I"m also tall enough to stand up which helps because then you're only moving the bikes weight not yours and the bikes.

yeah, sucks when you have short legs lol...

if you have an older condor (like i did) you can contact the company and purchase a new cradle for it. they have redesigned it so that it is easier to pull your bike out of it.

i still can't get it on the first try, but it is a lot easier.

I have the HD chock, but I beleive it is manufactured by Condor. I think those who have bolted it down have it right. Even then, when properly adjusted, it will take some "oomph" to get it out in most cases. Mine sits on "Race Deck" flooring. I usually have to have my son simultaneously stand on the chock and help push it off by pushing on the lower fork legs at the "count of three"...

Get a piece of rope. Pass it through the spokes on the front wheel at 10:00 O clock. Lay each end of the rope over your handlebars until you can climb on the bike. Now that you are sitting on the bike hold each end of the rope in each hand, bring rope below and on side the fairing. While pushing back with your feet begin pulling the rope which will rotate the tire which will roll the bike out the chock. When you feel the bike has gotten out the chock through one side of the rope forward along side the wheel and pull through the spoke. When it comes out you continue backing out. If you are unable to get it (rope) to pass through you have to get off and remove it before you can continue backing. With the power of your legs, arms and mechanical advantage this give it makes it easy.
