Question for you... how is strapping the front of bike down using the handlebars or frame, any different than the shocks going in and out during a ride. I'm not understanding the difference. There's talk of "blowing the seals". How is that done, during a tie down, but not out on the open road during a ride?
Because when you tie it down from the frame you are compressing the shocks down, not allowing them to bounce. That pressure will eventually go somewhere.
Yes, there is a narrow and wide side to the bolt recess. They are on the narrow side when the chock is installed and cannot slide out. When you remove the chock the bolts can slide out and are removed.
Seen them luggage rails bend down when you tied her down in the back, couple of bigs bumps on the road they ain’t gonna like that very much, not the best place to tie it down but made for that 50sec claim to fame
I locked the front wheel in the chock, but when towing the whole trailer started oscillating due to the bike's suspension floating as I went over expansion strips on the interstate. Any suggestions?
So four bolts through the floor for the black plate... and then two black plastic knobs to hold the orange chock to the black plate? It appears to me that the plastic knobs are a weak link, or no? Please explain.
I ordered 2 sets of the lock-n-load 3 years ago and they are great. I would like to get the spin on nuts tho.

Can this be installed on an aluminum trailer deck without bolting it down to the floor?
The art of strapping refrigerators on trailers. LOL
Can this be installed on a steel deck trailer? Is there a video for install?
Do the two bolts sticking up from the front mounting plate come out when not in use?

Does your system work on non wooded regular Lowe’s utility trailers? Thanks

There is a metal nut incased into the plastic knob.
that base plate looked warped and bent.
