OK boys, this posting has been around for about a month now and no one has posted pictures of their bike in the chock. Let's see what you've got; put up some pics.

Mines still in the box til I reorganize and set up the shop. :(

I bolted mine to plywood. tried it, fit perfect on bottom hole and had to have my kid push me back out of it.

Was at a friends today and he had 2. The front of the bar where the tire fits in looks narrow.
Has anyone had trouble with the tire fitting??? and if yes what is the fix.

jussmatt · 03-20-2008, 09:29 PM

I was planning on mounting mine to the garage floor...and probably will, but my neighbor gave me 3 sheets of 1" plywood...so I went ahead and mounted it there since I was anxious to see how it worked. I works like a champ!! No issues...and I used the lower bolt mount for the rocking/locking part. Bike get's parked there everytime I'm not on it!! I know I said I would post some pics...and I will...just been crazy around here w/ the kids being out of school this week.

jussmatt · 03-22-2008, 09:55 PM

Ok...so here's the pics I've been promising for a while now... LOL!

beezer · 03-23-2008, 06:04 AM

looks like it works :)

Now we can relax and play darts. 501 anyone?

misunderstood · 03-23-2008, 07:00 AM

I'm jealous at how organized that garage looks.

fish · 03-23-2008, 08:40 AM

jussmatt must be a cleanfreek but I did see a couple of leaves on the floor. looks somewhat like mine but to make the bike level I have to put something 2" high under the back wheel.

caddman11 · 03-23-2008, 10:18 AM

Great pictures, thanks so much. The way you built the bottom platfort adds to my thought process. Thanks again.

jussmatt · 03-23-2008, 01:35 PM

Yea...I'm a clean freak.... that's also why I prefer to do most of my own work!! As for the leaves...damn things wont stay out!!! I did use 2"x2" all the way around to make the platform to clear the bolts underneath the chock. I ran one down the middle also to support the weight of the bike. I had some rubber wheel chocks that I made out of cable cover, so they worked good as a ramp up onto the platform. As for darts....I've got a dart board, but the one in the pic is for an Airsoft Gun.... helps relieve the stress when trying to figure out a damn scametic!!! LOL!

I put mine to a piece of plywood today and I see what you mean fish. You got to put some ass in it to get it out.

I like your new pictures of Beltzville too.

beezer · 03-30-2008, 06:05 PM

I wondered why it was hard to back out of. Last night my friend noticed the plywood was trying to roll with the bike. He stood on the plywood and it came out much easier. I need to attach it to a larger piece of plywood.

fish · 03-31-2008, 05:34 AM

same thing here, my plywood is like yours only wider for stability. I'm going to get a longer piece that will go back under the rear tire that should keep weight on it so it doesn't follow the tire back. The tire is, like, pinched in the front V of the chock.

Looks great Matt! I'll just wait until you come up to Mesquite and clean my garage then put one down so my bike can look as slow as yours is.
