I just picked up an enclosed trailer. I see nothing in there solid enough to strap bikes to. The floor is 3/4" plywood and the walls are lined with half inch. Whats the standard way of mounting?

 

through the frame.

 

home make tire chalks ubolted

 

my trailer was really solid mike you missed out, you probably seen it last week when you came to our spot in jersey, i wasnt there but i heard you were killing it.

 

I had the sam issue when I got mine.

I mounted the eye hooks or what ever you call em right into the plywood.
I just used gian washers on the bottom of the wood. feed the bolts in from the top and nuts on the bottow.

It sounds sketchy bolting them to plywood but I have never had them break the wood. I broke one of the eye hooks once plywood was fine.

if you wanna get real crazy you can make custom plates outta 1/8 steel instead of the giant washers good luck

 

yea that works too i had that, not one bolt pulled through

 

hey you have anymore phones? I broke that last one already

 

damn bro your a little rough on the phones, i have the same phone but without the camera and the external screen chrystals are broke but ut works fine, and i have 2 sprint katanas in mint condition. one blue and one pink, the pink one was mine

 

you got a pm

 

Tear out the flooring and or make the flooring thicker by laying down another 3/4" board over the existing one.

 

find the frame, weld some links of chain.. that's what we did, works great.

 

I mounted "S" tracks at the edges of the wall were the frame is.. bolted through the frame. The removable wheel chocks came with plates to basically clamp the wood inbetween it but any 1/8 steel plates or huge flat washers will work. "S" tracks or "E" tracks are nice to have if you have a big trailer and haul multiple bikes or other stuff other than bikes.

 

duct tape....works awesome

 

the trick is to stuff in as much other crap so u really dont need to tie them down at all...

isnt there a wheel chock link on the top of this page?

I used to do that when I was borrowing my work van to take bike to the spot.. I just shoved it in, put it on a paddock stand and squashed it between the shelf racking and a metal lock box didn't move too much unless I went round a corner too fast and everything slid across the van :YEAH
