|   Inside Bike Rack | Eman
Jun 15, 2002 7:22 AM | | I really need a bike rack that can mount inside a Jeep Cherokee. I found reference to a "K&S Bike Transporter" but cannot find it for sale anywhere? Any ideas on this or any other recommendations? I need it inside because I ride before work and it would be way more conveniet if I did not have to take my bike off a rack every morning that I ride and put it in my office...Thanks in advance. |

You can build your own internal bike rack. You can get fork clamps at places like Performance. Then you just attach them to a piece of wood. |

Jun 16, 2002 7:13 AM | | Hey - I 've gotten pretty sick of the whole bike rack thing and would love to just throw the bike in the back - protected from the elements and theoretically less theft worry. Been thinking about a truck - how do you like the xterra? |
| I agree, peice of wood, and a couple cheap fork clamps | EricTheRed
Jun 17, 2002 7:32 AM | | pretty cheap, the most expensive part is gonna be the fork clamps at about $20 (at least that is what they were at my lbs)
Whats nice about the piece of wood is you can off-set on of the clamps so that if you have to carry two very similar bikes you can make it so the handle bars don't interfere.
Plus if they are standing up, you don't have to worry about them falling over on the other and banging up the ders.

Turn your truck bed or utility van into a stable place for transporting bikes-w/out stacking them on top of each other. The fork mount towers can be slid along the rail for custom placement of the bikes. Extruded aluminum rail, die-cast aluminum mounts, 9mm skewers. The slotted endcaps let you strap the rail inside of your truck bed, van or SUV. Carriers up to four bikes w/the two additional free mounts included.

Or, pick-up a pair of these and some wood and make your own:
Performance XPORT Universal Bike Mount
Transport your bike in any van, truck or SUV. Secure fork mount maximizes cargo space. Mounts to almost any flat surface. For the most efficient use of space, attach the Universal Bike Mount at an angle to avoid handlebar overlap. Lock your bikes by running a cable through the mount and your bike's frame (cable not included). Beefy 9mm skewer. USA. Save when you buy a pair.

Jun 15, 2002 8:33 PM | | Nissan and Toyota interior bike racks cost about $300.00 CND, so I built my own 2 bike rack for my Toyota Highlander using two Swagman QR fork mount clamps, piece of oak wood painted black and tie- down straps available at automotive stores to secure the rack. Basically followed these instructions: http://www.xterraparts.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/InteriorBikeCarrier_Instr_pg1.html
Total coast around $50.00 |
