    Default Proper chock on trailer - what's the best strategy to stop wheels turning?

    On my last trip the bike’s front tires began to turn almost causing some fender damage. So, my technique must be off with either the chocks ot the straps. What is the better strategy?
    Thanks!

    Well I use my ratchet strap over the rear tire ( only ) in line with the tread …. My RT has never moved, even during two small accidents ….. Screwing a short length of 2" X 2" next to the tires will prevent twisting …..But for me the strap has worked great …… Mike

    You must not only secure the front tires from front and back but also side to side. Rear tire like BK911 said, front and back, but securing it from sideways sliding wouldn't at all.
