“Over the rail” Bed
liners can present problems. This is because you will need
to cut a large hole in the bed liner to expose the truck bed rail
so the clamp can be fastened correctly. Spray-on bed liners and plastic
rail caps should work fine.
|
|
|
| Quick Fit Guide |
|
|
|
1. |
Truck bed must have an exposed rail
to fasten Rec-Rac clamps, with inside rail height of not more than
2 1/2".
See Figure 2. |
|
|
|
2. |
Place your first bike, facing forward,
in your truck bed on the driver’s side (to improve visibility).
See Figure 2. |
|
|
|
3. |
With bike vertical, pull against wheel
hump (as shown in main photo on this page). Be sure to center the
wheel hump on standard six foot beds, between the two wheels of the bike. For added stability,
your front wheel can rest against front panel of truck bed. |
|
|
|
4. |
The Rec-Rac clamp will strap to your
bike at two points of your choice: Front fork, down tube, crank arm,
rear frame or wheel. |
|
|
|
5. |
With your bike vertical, make sure
the two points that Rec-Rac will strap to your bike are only 4"
from truck bed rail. If the distance is greater, try another part
of the bike. Typically, crank arm and front fork will be closest to
the truck bed rail. |
|
|
|
6. |
If your truck has large wheel humps,
the distance from the contact points of your
bike to the truck bed rail will probably exceed 4". You can order our optional 8" Sport adapters (see Accessories)
that provide a longer reach. Typically, only one longer Work/Sport
adapter is needed to connect to rear of frame as the front wheel can
be turned to get front fork closer to rail. |
|
|
|
7. |
A lower, more rounded wheel hump makes
for the best fit allowing you to turn the front wheel into the space
in front of the wheel hump. The new style Chevy for 2007+ uses the standard package. |
