Wheel Chock For New Aluminum Trailer ?

[JS_racer]

looking for recommendations for a wheel chock for a new mc10 aluma trailer. i have the big black harbor freight chock already, but it looks huge on there. lol
my options are use the HF, go with a condor trailer only, or use a baxley with mounting kit,

my bike has a center stand, so trailer use only for the wheel chock, (not using the center stand on the trailer)
thanks much for the time!!

other question, should i put a layer of "something" under the chock before mounting it to the trailer ?? rubber or anything?

I've had this harbor freight one in my enclosed trailer for about 5 years and it works great.

I stopped using a wheel chock after learning how a motorcycle transport company tied bikes down.  All you need are 4 tie down points, 3 ratcheting tie down straps and a small towel.
1 strap from each side bar/triple tree/ect as straight as possible down to the floor.  The third strap is secured last, and makes a triangle through the rear wheel to 2 tie down points behind and to each side of the bike.  Where the strap goes through the rear wheel (the top point of the triangle) use the towel to protect the wheel.  You don't need excessive rearward tension on the rear strap, it just keeps the bike straight.
I pulled and enclosed trailer with 7 bikes from the Boston area to Robbinsville, NC. year after year using that method, I had flip up chocks I never bothered to use after I learned it.

^^^ Interesting. I can't speak for other brands but I have a Bike Pro. I like being able to ride or push a bike in to the chock and the bike remains upright, without using the side or center stand. I guess I got lazy....

found a smoking deal on a like new baxley sport chock, too good to pass up!!
plus the mounting, if done is super subtle,

If you want one that looks great, lasts forever and works great, get one of these:
