It's over a speed bump or other inadvertant BUMP that would have that baby going up and down that would be the problem. Putting that much faith in something a tire can go UP out of... I'll put a few $15 straps on just for peace of mind.

I have people bitch about the possibility of a blown fork from tieing down too tight - I'd rather blow a fork than lose a bike. And - MAN but we tie them down REALLY tight in that semi. Haven't blown a fork in years - and they get tied down about every weekend...
I usualy run a strap around the front of the chock and front wheel just for that reason also.


Some of this can almost reach oil or tire threads withthe threat of blown fork seals or weather to use or not use canyon dancers
