I'm currently in the process of getting a new trailer made and I just wondered how everybody ties their bike down?
I currently use a home made version of the Kya rear wheel tie down with the front wheel tied/strapped to the c channel at the front.

If you have a nice hollow front axle (who doesn't ?) - you could try the patented Wasteland Tie-Downs ?? They work really well.....
the only other tie-down used , is one across the rear wheel, to keep the back end from sliding side-to-side in the trailer. This system works a treat. Cost about $40 all up ??

I use this...

and don't even tie the front down at all in the van, just have it sitting in the front wheel chock.
