anyone built a bike rack?

this is my set-up..




this thing is pretty stout.. the bike doesn't move at all.

 

This is mine, Just a 2x6 cut down tight enough to fit just in my liner in the grooves. Then just added to fork mounts with screws. Fits very snug with no movement, cheap, and easy to get in and out.

 

Nice! Good use of the liner grooves! ...and SMBundy, yours is pretty sweet too!

 

I just adapted a cargo bar by drilling 2 holes that allowed a fork mount to be bolted up. The bar can still be used to secure loads or hold the bike when needed.

 

thanks pal.. this is version 2.0 on the same board.. just the way i mounted it is different... I just used u-bolts and have the nuts on the top going through the tie-down loops in the bed.. it is removable but takes a couple minutes which is why I feel ok locking my bike to it when I am in the office or what not.

if anybody needs other pictures just let me know and I will take them for ya.

 

Thanks for all the ideas. I'm about half way through a PVC experiment, if it sucks I'll stop being a puss and and do the fork mount ones. Was tring to avoid taking the front wheel off

 

Heres my setup. All aluminum & stianless steel, so not the cheapest, but solid. It is not complete. I still need to add the wheel holders to it.

 

are you in B'ham, Al?

 

I love the setup I may have to do one like it!
