DIY Bike Rack - Truck Bed

[@ianb4music]

Thanks this is by far the simplest, most elegant, and seemingly secure DIY rack I've seen so far, and I've watched a lot :). I'm going to give it a try.

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Giorgio_Rampa]

Genius!! I was thinking of building something similar, but this definitely helps! I'm surprised no companies figured this out yet (all the bed racks are garbage lol!) Thanks again!

[@BlackHoleDIY]

Thank you for the comment, Giorgio! It's a simple yet effective build. I'm happy to share the idea with others. Glad you found the video helpful.

Hi Terry. Thank you for letting me know. Try this one: Sunlite Fork Mount Bike Block a.co/d/1XZTUyT

What size fork mount did you buy?

[@BlackHoleDIY]

Hi Priscilla. I purchased the 100mm. Our bikes have standard width tires (i.e. not fat tire bikes).

@@BlackHoleDIY thank you! Gonna make mine this weekend!

[@DaveCM]

Great idea!

[@BlackHoleDIY]

Thanks, David.

Any idea for a bike with drop-down front axle?

[@BlackHoleDIY]

Hi Count. Wish I could help, but I'm not familiar with what that is.

[@countbaker5595]

@@BlackHoleDIY my bad, I think it's called quick release, the older stuff. It's not the thru-axle like your bikes that you can remove the bolt that secures the wheel and the fork. And my solution, which I thought of just after asking you a question, is to get a bolt with some washers and a wingnut. Let me know if you have better ideas though. Thanks

[@countbaker5595]

I need better ideas; cannot find wingnuts larger than ⅜.

[@BlackHoleDIY]

Hmmm... I think 1/2 wingnuts can be found at Lowes/Home Depot either in the store on on the web.
