Front tire clampy thingy....

Post by Indawoods »

What in the heck do you call the tire chock that clamps on the front tire... I have searched eBay and the internet for every key word I could think of and no results! Well... I got results but not what I was wanting....

I though we discussed it here too... but the search turned up nothing also.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, It's what holds the front tire when you are hauling the bike in the bed of a truck or trailer... the one I'm looking for has a bar that goes over the top of the tire and then another bar you pull down to clamp said first bar down on the tire. Thus, not needing any straps.

Thanks!

This unit and the fork air bleeders do more to save your fork seals from leaking than anything else I could name. Good luck winning the auction! I've got three of these on my trailer and love them! It's so cool to look in the rearview mirror and see the bike's suspension bouncing up and down as I travel along the road.

GOT ONE!

Chapparral was the only place I could find one of 'em.... Well, for a reasonable price... $69.95

Nice to know it's new...cripes...the ones on eBay woulda cost the same after shipping. Besides...good excuse to make it over $100 for the free shipping and get an extra filter and some radiator guards! :lol:

For a quick release to remove the shoe from my truck bed when not in use. You use carriage bolts, lock washers and wingnuts....
