Trailer wheel chocks?

[mookieo2]

I need to get some wheel chocks for my trailer. Would the cheap hoop style ones do or should I get a better one.

Is this one ok?

Maybe this one so I only need to purchase two and move one in the middle when its just one bike.

Or is there somthing in between price wise that is going to be secure enough.

Anything works. The Wheel chock doesn't hold the bike by itself during transport. It's just to hold the bike put to make strapping it down alone easier.

i like the ones that grab the wheel when you roll into them.
you might also want to get one that you can take off the trailer and use in the garage too

+1 on the baxley sport chock. I still need to get one
The big benefit is you can install a trailer kit (couple pieces of hardware)
and use the chock in your garage and roll right into it or in the trailer when
you go on a trip. If you check their website they sometimes have sales on blemished
units that save a few dollars.

Thanks guys. those Baxley ones are nice but I  only spent $75 on the trailer. I don`t want to put too much nto it right now. I think I`m going to get two of these.they are removable so i can move one o the middle for single bike towing Plus I need to buy a good set of straps and new tires for the trailer.

No matter if you got a killer deal on the trailer, make sure the chock will do the part and not just look it. No second chances once you get rolling. Some tie down techniques don't rely on the chock to take require strength, they can act as a stabilizer, while tie downs prevent side to side movement. This allows the bikes shocks to actually aid in transport. The other technique requires strength of the chock since the bike is tied down into the chock which exhibits lots of pressure on the chock, uses up the suspension so you have a hard docking with lots of rigidity. I think either method works, as long as you don't use a chock that is not meant to hold all that force. I'm a believer in stabilizing the bike and not setting it like a mouse trap.
