Easy to follow instructions
We finally found a bike rack that will hold the right amount of bikes and is sturdy and affordable for what you’re getting and if you read the reviews, you will understand why I’m saying this. We had struggled with finding the right bike rack and it should not be as complicated as it is and typically When you’re trying to make this type of a purchase, you’re not sure exactly what you’re getting and if you think about it as you’re going on vacation, you need the right product because we felt before like our bikes were gonna fall off of the rack and that’s just miserable. Please excuse the review. I just wanted to get it out there how I believe in this product and how much of a difference it it’s made for us and the reviews are true on this. It’s definitely something we will be buying again.

Tight fit! Holds bikes well on bumpy conditions!
Very pleased with the product. A little annoying to adjust due to the way the Allen key fit to tighten the locking brackets into the locks but otherwise a very secure way to transport my bikes now! Also due to me having a leer cap I have to flip every other bike around with my XL frames for handlebars to clear but that’s not normally an issue people deal with, just worth noting for anyone else considering to buy this product with a bed cap of any kind! Also bikes only fit with a med or high rise cap this way! Had to upgrade to a high rise for mine from a cab high! 5/5

Works but not that great
I bought this with high hopes. The extruded Aluminum and all the hardware and infinite adjustability showed great promise. In practice it's a pain. First off, the racks is made to be infinitely adjustable. So, rather than just use regular hardware, they used toggle clamps which work on an eccentric cam. Problem is, that they always loosen, no matter how tight you make them.Second, the method to attach this to your truck is bootleg at best. Two nylon straps which fasten through your trucks bed hold downs and to the rack. By default, this allows the rack to slide back a lot. If you try to over tighten it, it bends the arms out of alignment with the rack.Finally, if you have to make an adjustment on some of the joints, you have to undo the entire thing, and flip it upside down to access the nut that requires loosening and tightening. A huge pain.If the manufacturer is reading this, here are some suggestions:Ditch the cute eccentric cams and just supply regular nuts and bolts. You have to constantly tighten them anyway, so just cut to chase and supply something that actually stays tight.Devise a better method to firmly attach the rack to the truck bed.Make the tolerance on the bar that holds all the arms more generous. It's impossible to slide an arm on that rod, just too tight and too much friction.I wanted to like this rack, and even though I have a full size pick up, if I had to do it again, I would just get a Thule hitch mount. If you like to infinitely make adjustments and enjoy that process, this is the rack for you. If you just want something that works, move on to a hitch mount.

This is what I've been looking for...
This is the perfect bike rack for your truck. I've looked for a long time to find the right rack for my bikes. I even made my own once but I had to remove the front wheel with my design. Not this one. I don't even have to jump up in the bed of the truck to get my bikes loaded. I have a GMC 2500 4x4 so I ordered the full size rack for three bikes. My truck sets a little higher than some other trucks but I still load my bikes from the side quick and easy. The only part of this rack that takes you any time in loading your bikes is if you choose to attach the Velcro strap around the wheel. When I'm going short distances I don't bother with the strap. The two bikes I normally transport have 700mm x 23mm and 700mm x 25mm tires. The bikes fit snugly and don't move at all during transport. The rack parts come to you in a styrofoam cutout so the pieces don't rub together. It took me about an hour to assemble it by myself. Once it's assembled it's light enough that one person can easily carry it around. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Expensive but very sturdy
I just returned from hauling 2 bikes in the back of my full size truck for 1300 miles. My Pipeline rack was strong the entire trip. I used some bungi chords for my confidence but they are probably not needed. I did not use the rear wheel wire rack because I needed room for other stuff. The weight of the bike supports the rear wheel without the rear wheel wire. I have a rubber mat in my F150 so it keeps things from sliding around and it is softer for my knees. The instructions are good and yes it will take a couple hours to put together. Then make your adjustments for the size of your wheel. This is a very well designed and the best bike rack product that I have found so far.

My road bike flops side to side during travel which I don't like and plan on modifying and correcting myself
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! I purchased my Pipeline rack direct through Pipeline and they did not send my complete order. The company has no address and no phone number to contact for support. Pipeline has never answered any of my numerous Emails leaving me with a pile of bent pipe and plastic gizmos that is worthless. I was able to assemble 1 of the two racks I ordered and was not impressed. My road bike flops side to side during travel which I don't like and plan on modifying and correcting myself. The product is overpriced for what I received. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BELIEVE ANY GREAT REVIEWS ON THIS PRODUCT. You WILL be disappointed.

Can be modified for a trailer.
We modified it to fit inside our enclosed trailer so our heavy electric bikes would be protected from the elements. I wish there was a one that could be mounted in a trailer. It works for our two bikes!
