So I've got a condor stand and it works very well and I need to add a second stand for my trailer.
Should I go with another condor stand or try one of these strapless ones.
STStands.com::: Home of Strapless Transport Stands
I know pitbul makes one as well, but I believe the strapless is the original design??
Thoughts....
Do you know how much it goes for? I need to find a way to secure 3, possibly 4 bikes to an open snowmobile trailer. Problem is if it ends up being 4 bikes, I'm going to have to load them sideways, I hope that's not a problem for the unit.
EDIT: found the price because I'm a fart smellah... $250.00. Not sure I want to spend a grand to secure my 4 bikes for this trip. I think for the money, I'd rather just use a bunch of tie-downs and home-made front wheel chocks.
Manny,
My name is Troy Green, I designed and now market the Strapless Transport Stand, if you are interested in trying a STStand I will offer you a money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied with the stand.
Here is my offer, you purchase a stand from me and use it for a month, if you then decide you prefer the clamping wheel chock, just send the stand back for a full refund.
And yes these are the "Original Strapless Stands" I built the first stands for myself back in 2002, and start selling them in 2004.

Nilez,
I offer Quantity discounts, please contact me off the message board for details. And let me know what your trailers dimensions are (length and width) and I can help you with options as far as the layout of bikes for hauling.
In my opinion if you are only going to haul the four bikes one time then my stands are not worth the investment(even with the discount), as long as you are careful and make sure you secure the bikes so that they don't get damaged.
But if you plan to haul the bikes many times then the STStands would be well worth the investment. Loading and unloading will be much faster, the possibility of trailering damage (ie. bike falling over, straps contacting body work, etc.) and down right ease of use and peace of mind knowing your bike is not going to "come loose" and fall off the trailer make them worth every penny.
I don't want to violate in forum rules for trying to sell my product so please contact me through the link to my website posted in the above message.
Hopefully this post has not violated the rules and I apologize if it has and understand if it gets deleted.
Thanks,
Troy Green

I have one of these and it is a solid product. I talked to troy on the phone a while back, and he is a good guy. If anyone wants to check one out in person, I have one at my house. Let me know.
Does the front move around on you at all?Quote:

Plus it takes about 30 seconds to secure your bike once you practice a bit.Quote:

You are not restricting the trailer. The stand is removable!Quote:

It probably is not the best investment for a bike you may only have for a few months as if the new bike you get doesn't have a pin yet you would be out of luck.
If I'm slapping down that much for a trailer restraint... I can't afford the front wheel catcher style ones for bikes like my GS with solid axles. : )Quote:

The girl on my website is just a friend of mine and she had the right attributes to model for the "Strapless AD".
And I find it quite funny all the completely contrasting opinions that men have about the Model. I get everything from she's hot to she's not, and I'm pretty sure that no matter what model I used I would get much of the same.
But let me assure you, she might get 50/50 response when it comes to the pics on my site, but for all the guys that have seen in her in person I haven't met one that would kick her out of bed for eating crackers! :)
I realize that not everyone out there will be able to get enough use out of the STStands to justify buying one. But if you are in the market for a better way to haul your bike in a trailer and your bike has a hollow rear axle then you really should at least consider my product.
A lot of people swear by the "front tire clamping" style wheel chocks, and they have there uses and benefits, but purely as a transport stand they do not perform as well and are the same price if not more expensive.
Remember that the price on all those style wheel chocks does NOT include mounting hardware and you still need at least two tie-downs. Also think of it this way, say you are setting on your bike in your driveway, now your friend walks up and puts your front tire between his knees/legs, then he grabs your handle bars and tries to turn them REALLY hard. You probably wouldn't be real happy? Now that is probably about half as much force as your front end will see while in a front wheel chock during transport.
Thanks for the laughs in the above posts! :)

Are you down for any group buys?
From what I have seen of the pit bull stands they are much easier to operate. Well it would seem anyways.
I like the concept and it seems like one of the best ways to transport a bike.
However, the front wheel chocks are probably more versatile, since you can also use them in the pits or a garage to store the bike too.
Steve, you're the man! :lmao:
I haven't used the pit bull version, but I can completely secure my bike in about a minute with this one. Its pretty simple to use and I can arrange my trailer much more efficiently than I could have before. :beerbang:
