Wheel Chock - sabre 36tbok
I ordered my sabre with the 16" tire option. Now i unable to find wheel chocks that fit. There is not enough space the tires for the BAl chocks, i just bought the BAL Chock that sits on the ground between the tires, it works if your tires are on a plank, but if your on soft ground it will not fit between the wheels.
Is there another company that makes thinner wheel chocks?

Make a set out of 4" x 4" and a 1/2" or 5/8" threaded rod. Just google "homemade wheel chocks". Wheel Chocks

I had to go with BAL Xchocks. They fit fine.

BAL X chocks
I agree. BAL Xchocks work well. You just have to draw them in all the way and they will fit.

I those ones first. I used a socket to make them as small as possible and they still wouldn't fit.
I can hammer them in somewhat but they only go in partially.
Going to see if i can modify the last ones i bought. Probably chop off a small piece so the are not as wide.

I'd be interested in what you come up with, I also have the x chocks and unfortunately just found out tires too close to fit them.
I'm disappointed I can't reuse my chocks from our previous TT!

I have a 34TBOK and use the X chocks as well. Agree with the other posts you have to draw them all the way in, but they fit in between my tires fine.

X chocks work on mine also once I got them cranked in all the way. I used a shot of Tri-Flow Lube spray and it made it easier.
btw)... used Tri-flow for everthing. It especially works great on the folding steps

Roto Choks - their sizes are customizeed to the space between the wheels (you measure and order the specific ones you need) -- they fit as small as you need.

If the X Chocks and the Roto Choks both lock the wheels, what is the difference in them other than the way they are installed?

X Chocks don't fit small gaps between tires ( mine was just under 1 3/4"), so I got to order the specific size needed through RotoChocks.
On install, RotoChocks so much faster, no cranking the ratchet a million times. Roto's have a cleaner fit and finish with little metal parts to fuss with like luring.
