Condor was my choice for the SERG.    :2vrolijk_21:   :2vrolijk_21:

You might was to read this thread:  Condor Chock vs Wheeldock.

Have two of these in the garage and it helps knowing the bikes are vertical and stable. Have the trailer mount for them as well so they get used on the rare occasions we trailer the bikes.

If Condor is a Cadillac then WheelDock must be a Rolls Royce or Bentley.   :2vrolijk_20:  Saving my allowance for a Chrome centerstand.

I was thinking the same thing!  :2vrolijk_21:

Are there any issues getting a 950# Ultra out of either the Condor or Wheeldock?
Haven't had any issues with the Wheeldock in parking or backing out.  After you ride in to the Wheeldock you release the piston with your left foot, the Wheeldock grabs the tire and you get off.  Holds the bike very firmly.  To release you just push the piston down, it locks down and then get on the bike and back out.  No lifting with your knees or back.  Have bad left knee and lower back and have had no problems (getting old sucks).  BTW, if you have not looked at the Wheeldock website, models are made for different tire sizes.

That's why I sold my 2 Condors as it takes a fair bit of effort to "rock it" out of the stand and then purchased 2 WheelDocks.  No effort at all required with WheelDocks.

Looks like both Condor & Wheeldock are good products so I ordered both and will let you know which one I keep.

Just ordered a WheelDock, and I must say, they we're great on the phone.  Talked to a guy (sorry, forget his name) that spent a half an hour on the phone going over the product, and just shooting the bull.  Sometimes you can just tell by talking to people that they mean what they say, and stand behind what they make.  --Best-- Jay

I own 2 Condors but have seen the Wheeldock and would trade for them. Not unhappy with the Condors, just think the Wheeldock is a better design. The effort to roll out the bike is an issue with the Condor. JMHO.

had the same problem after new tire install.
Move the pin one hole forward under the rocker, cured it.

X2.  Use em in the garage and lock em down in the trailer. Work great, easy in / easy out.

My Wheeldock should be here this week,  I also got the stealth mounting for the trailer.

I've used both Wheeldock and Condor.  It's much easier to get the bike out of the WD, so the Condor is gathering dust.

I own 2 Condors but have not seen the Wheeldock. Not unhappy with the Condors, but I must say it is great loading the bikes but a real pain in the butt to unload.   :-\   After reading the various pro's and con's in this tread I am looking into the Wheeldock design.

Well I compared both the Condor & Wheeldock side by side.  I rolled my bike in and out of each one several times and to me it was an easy choice.  I went with the Wheeldock.  I really felt it was more secure and definitely easier to get my bike out of.  It was also cheaper and included the trailer docking kit.

Huh........have Arnott air ride. took a 4x4 and attached a 2x4 at each end. Sitting on the bike, I kick it under the frame and drop the air ride. Main problem with this method is that there is no chrome option.
