Mountain bike rack in the Bed?

[notlownf]

How does everyone carry their Mountain bike in the bed of their truck?

I got myself a tailgate pad, otherwise I've stood the bike up and strapped it down using ratchet straps. Two on the handlebars and two on the saddle rails - overkill but it keeps it nice and stable for those rough forestry roads.

Just throw it in there.surpisingly, when i bought my new bike, it fit inside my qc.

I had a Kuat NV before the truck, so I just use the hitch for it. Some guys I ride with though have fork mounts on the front of the bed so they just remove the wheel and hook it in.

I used to strap it upright then ended up getting a tail gate pad and it seems much easier. If I could find a stand for the bed that would keep it upright and I wouldn't have to bother with ratchet straps I'd probably prefer that over the tail gate pad.

I built this for my bed.

Check into what I posted above you. That bike rack I bought will fit my road bike and my Specialized EPIC 29'er. I just strap the seat post down with bungee cord and they stay upright.

I was curious about this too. I'm glad someone posted. I was even thinking about using my bedrails.

See, the pain in butt is when you have maxles instead of QR axles on your bike. That's why I went with a tailgate pad...

Yea that's my issue I haven't found anything available for 15mm or 20mm thru axles

Something like that is what id be looking for, how do you have the stand itself secured in the bed?

I have a Pace Edwards bed cover with their Explorer rails, which allows use of a Thule system so I have a Bike Rack/Kayak Racks/Etc. and still have locked/covered storage in the bed. Its a pretty cool setup for me.

If you have a through axle, and disc brakes, then you know how annoying it is to remove the front tire, and get it back on perfectly.

I went through many options.. From just laying it in the back, yakima hold up carrier, tailgate pad, etc...

I ended up just laying it in the back and sold all that bs... Its just fine for a single bike.. For two or more, the tailgate pad is the best way to go.. Quick on and off..

I also sold my bike because off roading in the truck is more fun

Not top of the line, but sometimes I miss it. Good luck !




On a side note.. I still have some very gently used, clipless, pearl izumi shoes for sale.. Size 49. Stupid low price


IMO

Look into the Yakima blockhead. They were like $30 a few years ago and I bolted them to my tool box.
