I'm thinking about getting a front wheel chock/stand for my Stryker. I believe it would be helpful for checking the oil level since the bike must be level to get a read on the oil. Also, I could use it when I need to do things on the rear wheel like adjusting the belt tension etc.
Harbor Freight sells one for about $40 but I haven't seen it yet. Anyone out there have one yet or an opinion on them? I'm hoping that I can find one that will work with the 21" front wheel.

I like the ones that lock the wheel in place with a shaft that goes through the axle. I dont know if they make them for our huge 21 incher though.

If this is the one you are talking about:

I bought it to mount in trailer. I don't feel that this one is stable enough
to use alone for what you want to do.

This one may be a better option:

Yeah, dliszews, the second one is what I had in mind. I like to keep an eye on my oil level and without someone to hold the bike upright it is hard to get a reading. This one looks sturdy enough to do the job and I have a coupon for the discount. Anyone out there in Strykerland have one of these or use something else ?

Canyon1, bought the black one for the garage yesterday. Easy assembly and pretty sturdy.
Added some washers on both support to make it better. They use two metal rods that give
it too much play. It does slide on a finished concrete floor but a piece of rug/mat resolves that.
The tie down hooks are decent and would suggest using them when wrenching the bike.

Could it be bolted to like a trailer floor?

Toby, you bet. there are mounting holes in the base already. It has 2 cheap feet at the front
which should be removed so that it mounts flats. As an FYI, if you are going to mount the other
one mentioned works well. I have 2 of those on my trailer.

Great thanks for the info dliszews.
