Baxley Wheel Chock?
Does anyone own (or have you used) a Baxley "Sport Chock", front wheel chock?
It looks and sounds like a quality product. I'd just like a personal opinion of how well it works for use on the garage floor.
edit, 11/13/12: I bought it from Discount Ramps.Com, excellent service, delivered as promised, plus the owner has a Red Superhawk, which is used in their ads in the mags. And the Sport Chock works great!

Never used or seen one. looks nifty. I use harbor freights item#69026. I have two bolted to a 4 x 8 ply wood base. Have used for years and never had any issues. They can be had for less than $40.

Friend of mine bought one and I have used it acouple times. Its a nice device and his garage is pretty slick and when I rolled my bike up there it was sure-footed and no slip at all. He got his on Amazon for a decent price if I remember correctly.

Great quality. Garage floor (mine's slick as well), enclosed trailer, pickup bed, use mine everywhere.
The articulated (right word?) wheel holder, 2 piece, helps grab the front tire as well as accomodate different sizes. Also works fine for the rear wheel although I don't know if a 190 would fit well.

I have sold a few of these wheel chokes back in the day. I'd say they are all pretty good. The 'swinging' bracket is the most important part, since it needs to follow through with ease the wheel not to damage the bike.
Secondly, mounting points for stability if you are to use it in a trailer. Other then that, they are a great tool to carry, or sit the bike straight in a garage.
The only advise I can give(and I'm sure you all know this) if you use the tool to carry the bike in a trailer, don't strap the front end and crush the forks down. This is a sure way to blow the fork seals.

I have 2 friends who bought them. 1 still uses his, the other sold his and got a Bexley. Sometimes you get what you pay for, sometimes not.
When transporting with a Bexley I barely tie down the bars (cycle cinch).
Since the Bexley does all the holding there is little need for fork compression, just side to side support.
