How to transport a nice bike?

TY, much appreciated!

 

​

 

+1 on the rocky mount. Have 2 installed on the cab side bed rail for over 4 years with no issues. Use it to transport mountain bikes and road bikes.

 

Kuat rack

 

Depending on where you live, you also get a lot of bug splatter on your bike with the roof top carriers.

 

Are you new to trucks too? Stuff doesn't just bounce out of the back of a truck. If you're worried about securing your other stuff from theft that's one thing, but a tote loaded with gear isn't going anywhere. If you must secure stuff in the bed from theft and carry a bike, get a tonneau with bars above it to take a locking bike rack then put gear in/out through the tailgate or just get a hitch rack for the bike.

 

I left another bike in the bed and hit a speedbump around 25mph because I didnt see it. Truck was fine, but the bike bounced right out of the truck and i broke the wheel.

Dont want that to happen again.

 

This is exactly what I want and have been searching for

 

It's coming soon

 

By spring/summer time soon?

 

Probably a little before

 

Is this gunna be for only fork mount or leaving the front tire on been looking for a set up with out taking of front tire

 

Believe fork mount, I think add on might be possible to keep the front wheel on.

 

Why wouldn’t you just put the bike in the bed of truck?

 

$12,000 bike

 

Not cheap, but have you considered a Diamondback cover with your bike mounts attached directly to the cover?

Thread with folks attaching all kinds of things to their Diamondback covers.. ...

Cervelo through axle set up is a pain in the ass and has limitations. Rat-rapid axle technology- 1/4 thru axle quick release system. Not compatible with any other mounts

 

That bike rack is more secure then the bed and a locking system?

 

Nope. My bikes go under the tri fold tonneau cover. The tailgate locks. The cover is locked but most important it is out of sight.

Now, If I am going straight to trail or even hotel, it goes on the Kuat hitch rack, gets locked (both wheels and frame) and stays there until I get to my destination.
For local rides it just goes on the rack and secured.
But if I am going somewhere that I will stop to eat, get gas, etc then it goes under the cover and the rack is folded up.
