I've got a 12x6 enclosed trailer that we can use for two bikes if need be, but tie down is a beeitch! Has anyone used these, and if so, what do you think of them?

Sure looks like a great product...if it works...

I think they would work great as long as their adjusted correctly for the bike. Pricey but a lot less work then straps.

I have seen ads for these as well. Looked interesting. I am also interested to see if anyone has used them.

Seems legit, but I still may build some redundancy into the system by using some straps as back up at least the first couple of times. You never know when you will have to make a sudden stop

I was thinking the same way, and the bike is being held to the trailer bed by just two bolts...i am sorry just doesn't seem too secured......it looks easy with the bed on the floor but how about driving it onto a trailer....i have a Kendon trailer i will need to check how good the bed is secured as well as the thickness of the bed material....

I have a friend who brings his bike down from Wisconsin for the winter and uses one in his enclosed trailer and it works very well. Loading up is a breeze and unloading just as easy. A couple of straps would probably give some peace of mind too.

seems legit to me! a heck of a lot quicker than strapping it down. and i would think it would make it real easy to add straps since the bike would already be standing straight up. but i would definitely make sure that the trailer floor can support it. it would be easy enough to brace underneath most trailers.
