The Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On, is just what I was looking for to be able to build a bike rack for carrying one of my bikes on my motorcycle. It was easy to mount and it holds my bike in place while riding on bumpy dirt roads, city streets, highways and even when I hit some twisty country roads. It's really easy to load and unload my bike when I get to where I want to ride. I use a velcro strap around the quick-release and the fork arm as an added safety as well as a couple tie-downs from my bike handlebars to my motorcycle passenger pegs to help distribute the weight on my rack. If you want to build your own DIY bike rack I totally recommend the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On.

Love this product! I built a great bike carrying system for my F-150 using two of these fork clamps. They are easy to install and extremely well made. No more tangled bikes and lots more room in the bed for other stuff!

Best way to go for a nice bike rack system.

Thanks,

How does this attach to the bed liner? Is it just wedged into it at the recessed spots or is it attached in some way?Thanks

Dodge Ram Pickup

Had bought three of these a year ago and placed it on a cut 2" x 4" for three bikes. All three bikes (2 MTB and 1 Road) now easily fit the 5'7" bed of my Ram 1500. No worries with the quick release and no more stress taking the whole family to the trails. So glad I got these.

It still is doing great! My youngest is getting bigger so Im thinking of getting another one to address his bigger bike! You guys definitely rock and will continue to get my business. Customer service, products and prices are all exceptional! thanks again!



by:

Ordered the Hollywood bike rack brackets 1 year ago they arrived pretty fast. I mounted them on a 2x6 spray painted black. Installed an eye bolt at each end. Attached a clasp to each eye bolt & then to hooks in bed. I had a problem recently with the bracket screws pulling out. So I put bolts through the brackets & 2x6 with flush mounted nuts $ washers. Seems to be working fine.



by:

Could not be easier to make your own bike rack with these skewers. A little measuring, some scrap wood, and you have a great carrier for a bargain! The only thing keeping it from being a 5 star... the skewers lock tab could be oval like the axle locks. Then they would stay locked without so much tension being put to them.



by:

Worked great. The fork mount was top quality and just what I wanted. Typical for etrailer, it arrived quickly and was just as described but much less expensive than the bike shop version that I originally used (as shown in the photo). This clamp is perfect for making any kind of quick bike rack in the bed of your pickup or on the tongue of a trailer as shown. I would recommend this to a friend.



by:

Used these to mount bikes on our RV platform. Work awesome when paired with the bike carrier brackets also on etrailer. See pics, I used extra mounting strap for underneath for added stability.



by:

I bought 2 of these and a [...] locking mount. Wish I had skipped these and got all 3 [...]. Quick release lever has very little travel and you will have to adjust the nut every time you use it. I guess thats acceptable but the higher quality one has me spoiled. It is a solid mount that does indeed work as advertised.

Toyota Tacoma

I looked at so many products, but then saw these pull up on a truck beside me one day. I started with two and mounted them to the rails in my Tacoma truck bed. After continuous use hauling our bikes to and from triathlons, I bought a third! I can now fit three road bikes across the bed of my truck and still have rooms for gear below them. Thanks of the great product guys.

Exactly as represented. Shipped quickly. Really Great product. I fastened 2 Hollywood fork mount bike racks to a 1"x6" board. Perfect way to transport two bikes in the truck bed. Quick and easy to use. Easy to remove and store when not in use.

It looks like you have a Tacoma bed liner. What did you use to mount the brackets to the rail of your bed liner?Thanks...

James H.

7/10/2014

Jeff,I had some 14 x 1 aluminum bar from lowes, I drilled 6 holes and tapped them with a 5/16 tap, I then I cut the bar into 3/4 pieces with the holes centered. The pieces will now fit into the rail on the top the bed. then i just lined the pieces with the holes in the bike mounts. I used 1 long screws



by:

This Bike Carrier is great. I mounted them on an oak plank, secured from both ends to the bed tie downs, eliminating the need to drill holes to the bed.

Works great!



by:
2017 Ram 1500

These racks were just as advertised. I mounted them on a 2x4 and then clamped that into the front of my bed. They worked great. The thing about these racks is that they are so versatile. They could be used in any number of ways. You just have to give it some thought. And whatever you come up with, you haven't spent a fortune either.



by:
2015 Ford F-150

Let me start by saying that the bike mount I received was exactly as described and worked flawlessly. I originally wanted to mount the fork mounts to the rails of my truck bed. I have a 2015 Ford F150 and I am unable to access behind the rails to get nuts and washers on a bolt. I ended up mounting the fork mounts to a 2x8 which then layed in front of the wheel wells of my truck. With that said, I would have given etrailer.com a 5 star review had it not been for the length of time it took to receive my product. I paid extra for USPS Priority Mail shipping which should have taken no longer than 3 days to get to my house. We live in Sherwood Oregon. For what ever reason it took a week to get to our house. So the night before we were to leave for an 8 day camping trip I was messing around with running up to Home Depot to buy a piece of 2x8, along with screws to mount the fork mounts. In the whole scope of things not a huge deal, but I asked for, and paid the expedited shipping to make sure I received the mounts in a timely manner. By timely manner I expected to receive them in 2 to 3 days. Not 7 or 8 days.

I built a bike trailer for 6 bikes and these were the bomb. I needed a method of easy on easy off for the bikes and these are an excellent option.

The buck trailer I built was for my wife’s bike team. It has been sitting outside all season and still performs perfectly!



by:

Ordered the Big Bed Junior Load Extender to haul my 12-foot kayak easily in the bed of my small pickup instead of having to deal with roof rack saddles on car (plus just the effort of lifting and loading). Installation was very simple and straightforward, and as the picture shows, it definitely gets the job done. Four stars vs. five b/c I am surprised at how much slop there is in both how the parallel-to-ground L-shaped bar fits in the hitch and how the crossbar fits on top. May do some duct-tape wrapping to reduce the amount of play in these fittings. That said, have driven locally on a bumpy gravel road and over RR crossing with no issues; have not yet tested hauling boat at highway speed. Five starts plus for etrailer customer service and shipping on my order, btw!



by:

Purchased these after researching them and several others. These are pretty simple items, so I felt pretty safe ordering the “Hollywood” version rather than others that were much higher in price. These are a great-looking product, very sturdy, exactly as advertised, and perfectly suitable for DIY truck-bed racks. They even have a threaded center mounting hole if you care to mount them that way. Very happy with my purchase.. I would order them again if needed.



by:

Very nice product and works well.



by:
2014 Toyota Tacoma

I was looking for bike rack product for my Toyota Tacoma.
Haveing a cap installed opened the more secure option of racking inside the cap and under lock and key. The fixture is well machined and works great. Finding and ordering was a breeze



by:

These bars are simple and effective. They will easily bolt onto the top of my hard top tonneau cover.



by:

The items were received in good time and in good order. They appear to be a solid product that should provide years of service. I have mounted these to the front of a small trailer to more securely carry bicycles and they are performing as I hoped.



by:

Always have been impressed with etrailer ordered in the past and always a positive experience... from the start and the tracking to when it arrives is very informative ... haven't installed the product yet but I'm sure it will be fine .

Thanks again
Russ

Very pleased. With some rail nuts from the hardware store, these fit great in the Nissan bed rail cargo system. Hold the bikes solid.

  • Would the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Racks # HRT970 fit a 2015 Ram 1500
    The universal design of the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Racks # HRT970 that you referenced would allow it to install and work just fine in the bed of your 2015 Ram 1500 with a Rambox. Some people attach the rack to a board and other directly to the bed of the truck. At worst you might have to get a little bit creative with the bike rack but it will install and work fine.

  • Will a Bike with Disc Brakes Fit the Yakima BlockHead Y01117
    The Yakima BlockHead # Y01117 works with some bikes with disc brakes but not all. Since I can't guarantee that it will work with your specific disc brake bike I recommend looking at some other options. The similar Hollywood racks carrier, # HRT970, shows that it is compatible with both disc brake bikes and non-disc brake bikes so it is one option. I have linked a video review for you.

  • Availability of Replacement Skewer for Thule Low-Rider Bike Block
    The direct replacement 9mm skewer is no longer available from Thule by itself for your Low-Rider Bike Block # TH821. Unfortunately your only option will be to use this or replace the Low-Rider altogether with a new unit. For an economically priced complete replacement the Hollywood Racks # HRT970 will work well and includes a 9mm quick-release skewer.

  • Bike Rack Options for 2012 Toyota Tundra with Factory Lux Hard Tonneau Cover
    Before mounting anything to the hard tonneau cover on your 2012 Toyota Tundra CrewMax I suggest checking your owner's manual (or with your local dealership using the truck's VIN) to confirm that the OEM cover is rated to carry weight. Typical bikes weigh in the range of 35-lbs each. You may also want to consider that loading up mountain bikes after a day's riding could mean a lot of dirt on the cover.

  • What is Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier # HRT970 Made Of
    The Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier # HRT970 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Colorado, features a black anodized aluminum construction. This is a really nice rack that can secure 1 bike with a quick-release front wheel in the bed of your truck. The mount can be attached to the truck bed rail, toolbox, or any solid surface.

  • Does Rear Wheel of Bike Rack Need to be Secured When Using Hollywood Racks Fork Bike Rack
    Fork mounted bike racks like the Hollywood Racks part # HRT970 don't require anything to hold the rear wheel. I know it seems like it would move around but the weight of the bike keeps it in the same spot which keeps the bike upright. I attached a link on this page to a test course video for this rack that shows the rack holding a bike in the bed of a truck as it's driven around our test course. You can see it's stable and the rear wheel does not move.

I recommend something like the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop/Rise - 10K, part # 325-GH-313. This particular model has a 5" rise with a 2" and 2-5/16" ball mounts. If you use a hitch receiver with this adapter for a bike mount, you will reduce the tongue weight of the hitch receiver by 50%. That new maximum tongue weight would be 750 lbs. Adding the adapter will not affect the tongue...

Also, there is not enough space to allow for the brackets to face one another on the inside.
