I have a condor on my lift and no regrets. Changing a front tire with my setup is out of the question but I have another jack for that.

i was thinking same brand (CONDOR SC-2000), they make good stuff :mango:

Check out Wheeldock.

Use the Condors, in the garage and in the trailers. Looked at the wheel dock, but didn’t like the spacing on the front tire.
TN’s bike is a 2009 110” SERG not a 2000/2001 95”.

Spacing can be changed with adapters that can change spacing. I found with the Whelldock it is easier to pull the bike back is it does not have the bottom frame as the Condor which you almos have to lift over. I have both and prefer the Wheeldock.

That one game me an aneurysm in my head :huepfenlol2: !

I have one of each. Condor makes HD chock as well and they are identical. Wheeldock great as a floor chock but not very practical for a lift. Condor (HD) much better for your lift. Condor will adjust to any front tire size where Wheeldock requires shims either purchased from them or made up yourself. Both are very well made. Think Condor is about half the price of wheeldock as well.

I have condors in my trailer. My lift came from a friend that has a cheap chock from harbor freight that I am going to replace with a condor over the winter.
-
I have a wheel dock but instead of bolting it down I use C-clamps to secure it to the lift. That way when you need to change a front tire all I have to do is to use a center jack and then remove the wheel dock. Works great.
-
Big plus to Wheel Dock is the ease of rolling your wheel in and out of position.
I don't have a table, but have used the Wheel Dock for years in my trailer and garage, and wouldn't have anything else!
Good luck with your decision.
-
Use Condor's in the garage and when we had a toy hauler in there as well.
-
I use a wheel dock, bolted on my lift. Love it. Have used condors in the past. Also a good unit. I just prefer the wheel dock as it needs zero rocking to back the bike out of it.

Related to all the comments about the Condor being hard to get the bike out of...your Condor is likely not adjusted correctly. The shoe that moves when the front wheel goes fully forward into the chock is not supposed to be touching the ground. It should be "floating" fairly level with the ground.

Seems like this comes up at least once a year, Which is best? Condor or Wheel Doc? Well I have had both, both work nice. The Condor is my choice as it is cheaper, simpler (to me) and just as easy to use. Lots of folks say the Condor is hard to get the bike out of, It is not, if properly adjusted. The Wheel Doc requires different parts to change tire sizes, the Condor does not. Condor wins on all fronts, for me. I now have three. I sold my Wheel Doc, actually traded for a Condor, with a guy who thought the Condor was hard to use. After trading I adjusted the shoe, then he wanted to trade back. Nope.
-
Good to know. If I bet get another Condor, I’ll know how to adjust it. Thank you.
