Fan-dang-tastic! Building one of these this weekend!!!
I still use it regularly! Works great.
I love the design. Way better than PVC!
Thanks for posting this. I am going to try it for my Super 73 bikes that have a wide tire.
I would think it would work pretty well for that type of bike. Really that is the beauty is that you can make it as wide as you like for specific tires.
Thanks for this video, what a simple but affective design. I will be building mine tomorrow.Thanks again. 👍
Yeah I use it all the time. I've been very happy so far.
I picked Trek FX 2 for my wife and FX 3 for me. I will try this, in the bed of my Ford F 150. Thanks
Glad it was helpful
great design, wrap those 2x4s in some of that fabric they put on the boat trailers and and you'll get some added protection from scratches. Thanks for the upload
Great idea on the boat carpet
Awesome craftsmanship
Haha well I don’t if we should use the word craftsmanship but it really works well.
Built my rack based mainly on yours. I used 2x6's and they are just right for securing our 27.5" comfort bikes. Easy, stable carrier built to fit my Colorado short bed. Just add a few strategically placed bungies and I would not hesitate carrying the bikes anywhere. Thanks!
Fantastic! So glad it’s working for you. I still use mine to this day.
I like your results. Thanks for the video. Certainly makes it more convenient to get out for a ride!
It inspires me to try a similar construct but biased corner to corner in the bed so's I can close the tailgate and keep a toolbin in the opposite corner of the bed.
I was also thinking of a simpler bike frame support (inverted T) that would allow alternate placements of an upright bike. As I said, you're inspiring!
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea i will be making 1 single track for my mt bike
great video....very neat....thanx!!
toyo 250 thank you!
yours is the best on here. SOLD!
Nice job. If you drill a cross hole in one set of the 2x4's where the bike rim is below the surface, you can put a rod across them and lock the wheel to the rack. Its my next project.
Great idea as well. Still very happy and use it regularly!
fantastic idea! great design, so easy to make. I dont even know why i considered a 150 dollar tailgate pad when you can just make this. Thank you!
I still use it all the time! Thanks for watching!
nice and simple and seems to keep bike in place. some out there are way over engineered.thx
Works well and still using it :)
Gonna give this a shot this weekend. May use 2x6
How did you end up strapping the head board to the front of the truck bed?
My truck has tie down points up front,
@@BradBeaird Finished mine, very happy with the results. Had left over gloss black Rust-Oleum brush paint and it's sturdy and does the job. All in with lumber and brackets...$40. Money well spent, and saved vs a bed rack in my Jeep Gladiator. Thank you again for sharing.
Enjoy!
If you can list the lengths of the 2x4 wood cuts, that would be useful. Nice.
Nice design! Can you modify it to fit more than 2 bikes? Thinking I'd like to fit up to 4 bikes.
As long as your handlebars don’t get in the way I think you’ll be good.
$50 for materials with today's inflation, LOL! -Great, simple design. I like!
Oh how times change 😂
@@BradBeaird I just made a bike rack based on yours, custom fit to my 29er XC bike. Made it with materials on hand- the wood, the screws and the paint! Cost nothing. Thanks for the inspiration.
@@jamescourier1545 Glad it worked out for you!
Thanks for sharing this.. Question, as you built it, any movement from the bike(s)? I did not see any straps across the wheels or similar so I'm wondering how secured it may be traveling a short highway distance.
I put one strap across back wheel and that seems to work well. Minimal movement overall as long as you drive reasonably.
@@BradBeaird yup, just started thinking about this and a good strap would do the trick. Trying to see if I can build a 4x bike rack for my Sierra Elevation. Any idea on weight of the one you built?
No clue but I can pretty easily lift it in without issue.
HibBrad! This looks great. I’m repurposing some scrap pallets and beach wood to build the rack for my 2022 Ridgeline. Do you have the dimensions of the wood you used? Thanks!
Sorry I don't really have the dimensions for the wood I used and it's been so long ago, I certainly couldn't remember any longer :D
Got it. Thanks. That’s the thing with videos. They live everyday as though they were just filmed. Anyway, clever design. I am using pallets where there are two 2x4s nailed as supports already, and 2x10’d washed up on the beach. Decks Screws in the garage. The only cost will be the metal braces.
How did hold up over time?
Good. No issues.
@@BradBeaird how did you end up attaching it to the truck?
@@stevegarza1643 I didn’t attach it. It had enough weight to stay in place and was the width of the truck bed so it didn’t move around at all.
