Message: <blockquote data-quote="HilltownDave" data-source="post: 1457799" data-attributes="member: 98512">I have a cheap Harbor Freight wheel chock that has tie-downs built into it. I feel the design principle is sound in that the tie-down points pull the bike firmly FORWARD into the wheel chock. Compress the forks 1-2” and it won’t budge. In the rear,  I come across from a point maybe 12” behind the rear wheel, through and around the tire/rim and continue to end point same distance behind wheel on the other side of the trailer with a single ratchet strap. Wrapping the tire/rim keeps the bike centered where you want it and alleviates any wear or damage to frame or other components. I simply was not comfortable trying to attach to anything else at the rear. (In the front, my ratchet mechanism rested menacingly close to the fork and fender so I wrapped it with a rag to be safe)If I had your trailer, I would add tie-down points to the front frame rail of the trailer but your rear tie-downs appear just about right for holding  the rear tire in place. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="👍🏼" title="👍🏼" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d-1f3fc.png" /></blockquote>
