Princess Auto wheel chocks on sale for $44.44 June 18-30
- Thread starter Relax
- Start date
Good price. Tempted to buy one and install into my garage floor.
I had one, very good quality. I never needed to mount it, the thing would not budge...
I am going to run up to the Dixie location after work if anyone wants one picked up.
Is this the cheapest they've ever been? I don't remember the price being this good before
Never used on of these, if you park the front wheel in it, does that mean you don't have to use the side stand? Or do you put the front wheel in AFTER you put the bike on the center stand (if you have one, sorry MP).
That's what I used to think until one day the bike was sleeping on the floor

Just ride the front wheel into it and hop off the bike. It holds the bike vertical.

This was on for $60 bucks or so a few weeks ago. Works well, very solid and doesn't slide

And unless you could somehow lift the rear end off the ground to lower the centre stand, the roll back that's required to get a bike up and on a centre stand would likely pull the front wheel out of the wheel stand. If you did somehow get it in, getting it off the centre stand could be a challenge too.
I actually have two of these, use them both in the garage and on trailers when heading to the track. My only beef is that the angled bits are a tad narrow, so sticky and fat sportbike tires like to get stuck in them. If they're not secured to the ground/floor, it can sometimes require a bit of a dance to yank the bike back and break the bond while also blocking the stand from sliding with a foot.
They're especially handy when doing track days without a helper, as you just ride into it at the end of a session rather than trying to juggle a track stand and balance the bike while all gassed, especially towards the end of a hot day.

Please elaborate! Was it the same one from Princess Auto? Did a weld break, or did the wheel roll out somehow (there's a locking latch to prevent that)?
No breakage or rolling out it was still on the front tire but the whole thing had flopped on its side overnight. Bike has crash bars so no damage. Had used it for months with no issues before my bike is heavy up high.

The chock itself fell over with the bike's front wheel in it? These things are pretty stable.
Yup whole thing was laying on it side bike still in nothing around it just decided to take a nap. 1190 adv is much taller than that Gixxer which must be the reason.
