Default I need a rack

I need a rack for the back of my truck. Any suggestions? I want to hold up to 4 bikes and it would be nice if i didnt have to take the weels off. I have one bike with 20mm axle so that would have to be compatible if the wheels must be removed. I saw a rack for sale on here where it clamped the front wheels down but cant find it anymore. Any Ideas?

I had one of these for a while and it works great and does everything you are looking for. The only down side is it takes up a good portion of the bed.

Bicycle Racks Mountain Bike Racks Truck Bike Carrier Sierra Coast Bike Racks - Home of the FAT BOY! Bike Rack

Look at the Fat Boy Bike Rack. I sold mine because I just wasnt using it enough but it did work great with the optional rack clamps.

d@mn, once again fooled by the tread title

the rack Jordan had is sweet looking. i remember when he had it up for sale. if i didn't already have one would have jumped on it.

i have a few bikes with traditional hub and thru axle. for tradional QR i just use fork mount accessory for my truck


if big bike (thru axle) and short trip to trail-head i usually throw over tailgate with dakine pad (or just lay down in bed)


for longer hauls and if alot of bike and or other gear i use thule rack on hitch


yes it's pathethic. i actually have all the above but at least im set to carry 5-6 rigs for shuttles

or you can go for this one. maybe mount it on your hood and hang bikes off it

For The Zen Master, they probably aren't $110 each. Must be nice!!!!

Dave, just tell Thule to "send" you a couple in the name of product testing. Doooo it! Doooo it!
