Anybody use a rear wheel chock?

[Jobbo]

Maximizing space in my garage and I’ve got one space that needs the bike to be reversed in a stored upright, not on the sidestand. I’m currently putting it on a rear stand and doing a 37-point turn to get it lined up right. It would be way easier to just roll the rear wheel into a chock that locks it in.

The Baxley chock I’ve already got can’t hold a 190 rear tire, anybody do something similar they are happy with?

Thanks in advance.

Never used a chock on a rear wheel. But if you need to spin the bike around, you should see if Bursig fits your bike. The Bursig stand will allow you to spin the bike with ease.

Depends on how much you want to spend. Condor makes some good chocks that may fit the rear wheels. I had one and it is high quality.

or you could get their bike dolly. load it up and then moving it around in the garage looks easy.

Thanks, I hadn’t considered a bike dolly but that condor one looks promising. Will check it out.

Condor makes a great chock that accepts the rear wheel.

Depending on your rear wheel clearances would something like this work. And the price is very affordable.

Barley has two models, the one says up to 190 tire.



The harbor freight one isn’t wide enough.

and doing a 37-point turn to get it lined up right.

Look up how to do a kickstand spin. It's very easy to do once you get the hang of it, and you'll never bother with muti-point turns like that again.

Thanks all. The kickstand spin won’t work as the bike is already on a rear track stand when I back it in to the alcove. The pain in the butt part is that there’s an incline immediately in front of the bike when parked, so need to be able to ride the bike out forward.

The condor chock I think works well, will report back.

Cool idea but too bad you can put warmers on the front tire...

They're garage stands and don't pretend to be anything else, really. I reached out to them about rider support since it's a PITA to maneuver my bikes in the garage and they got me hooked up. EVERYONE I've showed them to has been like, "wow, I need a set of those". I could literally setup my garage like a maze and, as long as the bike can physically fit, you could push, spin, twist, or side-swipe the bike to the other end with 2 fingers.

The wheels roll very easily in any direction. Straight forward/back they're handle gravel or large cracks easily. Side to side requires asphalt or concrete. 45* angle is doable on rough surfaces too.

I say all that while admitting that their price point is a bit steep. But their quality seems comparable (or slightly higher) than any pitbull stands i've owned. (Albeit they won't hold up, aesthetically, to the beating that pitbulls will b/c of painted vs metal finish)


I don't have a better set of pics on the bike but here's 1 and when I first got them (they ship from Australia)
