They are such a help in the back of a van!
Used 2 of them when going to the Isle of Man last year and would recommend,
Had a really rough crossing and 4 straps on each bike but neither moved an inch!!
Would always want to use one if possible.

Can you use them to store the bike as well? Or do they stress the front tyre?

I have one I use in the Garage for storing the bike in, also works in the Van for Trackdays. Only time I have had any Tyre related issues is when sticking the wheel back in it for a few hours on the way home with hot rubber. It tends to bond to the cradle. Other than that, no problems.

Yes yes and yes. Never even knew about them until a couple of years ago. Just so easy to use. For transport, mine just sit on the trailer floor and a I tie the handle bars down, all one person operation. And in garage at home, useful for holding bike upright when padock stands are too much effort.
