Especially when the chock is metal and will probably be more prone to sliding than without it.
    Baxley Sport Chock, 1000xs better than a Condor. actually has rear feet spaced further out from the wheel for added stability over the Condor. I've driven 900 miles with my bike in the baxley and just 2 straps hooked to the subframe where it bolts to the main frame. never moved an inch.

    I actually drive a lot faster when I have the bike in the back.

    It too has worked well and I think would work for your application... he uses it in an enclosed trailer without issues...
    I've used one of those for a couple years with no problems. They're on sale for $49 quite a bit, and I had a coupon for one for $39 but it just expired.
