strapping you bike in a van

[cheekykev]

When I put mine in the van I use a front wheel chock similar to the ones shown, but I made an adjustable clamping devise to hold the rear wheel, that way you don't have to strap it down, it works a treat, ask anyone on here who's seen it and they'll verify how solid it holds the bike, It's my own design, I made mine out of steel, but I'm sure anyone who's quite handy could make a more crude version out of wood and some clamps, at the end of the day if it works fine it really doesn't matter what it's made of.

I got one of these




seems well made, works fine can't really fault it, I had intended to make one but at just over £35 it didn't seem worth the effort.
I holds the bike much more securely in the van compared with just using straps you can also use it with a rear paddock stand and on a bike table makes the bike more stable to work on.
