Been waiting on the UPS man all day like a kid waiting on Santa on Christmas eve.   Wink

Got the WheelDock delivered today.  Out of the box it's ready to go....no assembly.   cooldude

Have to say I'm impressed with the quality.  

I ordered the "custom" chock.  You send them the tire width and what bike you're gonna use the chock with and they build it for you and your bike.  I have an Elite 3 and it's 6 1/8th" wide.  They also offer shims that you can attach if you ever use a narrower tire or different bike.  

Bike is really solid in the chock and there's NO room for a bigger tire.  It's snug against the Elite 3 (no wiggle room)....and very sturdy.  

Just roll the bike in, step on the lever (you don't even have to get off of the bike....easy peasy) and the bike is snugged up in the chock.  Bike sits straight up.  When ready to go, step on the lever, get on bike and with a ever so very slight tug, roll the bike out.  It rolls in flat and rolls out flat.  You don't have to mussel the bike out over a pivot point out of the chock....at all.   cooldude

I know that there are alot cheaper wheel chocks available out there (AND more expensive ones too), but after looking at them, they didn't fit my wants and needs.

Here's a Webbikeworld review of the WheelDock.....

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Thank you but no thank you, I'll keep my LA Chock.

I guess I'm pickier than most people and that came from being in the bike rescue business for so many years.

Your chock would probably work great for you with one bike.

But when you put many different bikes in the chock, you need to be able to adjust it with a pin and spring lock ring.

Between my daughter and my son, we have 7 bikes and not one of them has the same size wheel as the Valk.

True....it's not a one size fits all chock, but you can order shims that clip in to fit whatever bike you're gonna put in there.  

btw....it does come with a pair of nice bolts and threaded inserts to be able to bolt it down in/on a trailer if wanted.

Thanks BF. Been researching chocks for the garage. I wanted one that would hold the bike up straight for small jobs, like cleaning the pipes and wheels to changing oil. I wanted to bolt to the floor stability, but transfer to trailer when needed. Most are not built as sturdy as this one and higher priced. This looks like it will fit the bill so I ordered one tonight.   cooldude
