I have a BikePro front wheel chock, price from $120 -$150 ish , had it since 2006, use it with gret confidence. Keeps bike straight up and saves space,
Harbor frieght has one that looks identical, price is $39.99.
My mounting plate fits flush on the floor of a pickup,
This thing locks the front wheel solid, for extra piece of mind you could throw a ratchet strap over the front tire , but you shouldn't need it unless your going BAHA offroad, just need a strap on rear wheel ,to keep it from going side to side.
just ride the front wheel into the chock, your done .don't have to try and balance and make your straps the same length , and worry about the front wheel slipping to one side while only 1 side is tight., or looking for a good spot to connect the strap to your truck, wheel chock takes literly 2 seconds, bike is straight and secure.
Good heavy straps cost a min $15-$20 apiece. HF front wheel chock $40 minus a 20% coupon. My Wheel chock removes from bed with two 5/8" acorn nuts. If needed to be removed, mout plate stays and is flush with bed floor.
Straps alone. You will need to strap the back, 2 more GOOD straps another $40. And find more good spots to tie to.
Front wheel chock you could really use a bungy strap on the back wheel.
STRAP BURN , highway driving , wind , where the conyon straps come off the bike, it will wear away or scratch paint and mark up your bike, even when you put a twist in the strap to reduce strap flutter, still vibrates through the whole strap
Straps colapses your suspesion,
your not doing your suspension any favors.
when a car is transported on a flatbed , or a wheel lift , you secure the tires or axles and let the car ride on its own suspension.you should do the same with your bike.
Straps Bend , twist , and bind , throttle grip and linkage when ratcheting down the front end, and also when bouncing in travel , imagine finding out the hard way , that you dammaged your throttle, and it sticks wide open. That would suck
Front wheel chocks cost less overall, more secure side to side, don't need 2 people for tiedowns, Literally seconds to lockdown, much easier on suspension, no possible way to damage throttle handle.
