I bought two of these for what it would have cost to buy one of lesser quality at my local bike shop. I screwed them into a 2x4 to put in the bed of my pickup truck and they work just great. I was surprised at the workmanship quality of this sturdy fork mount. Highly recommend the product.

I purchased two of these and mounted them to a pine 1x6x36" in order to create an interior bike holder for my 2006 RAV4. Refer to the photo gallery above. My bike fits fine but I can see that for bikes for tall riders it would be necessary to remove or lower the saddle/seat post assembly (or use a larger vehicle). With an interior bike holder the bike is both held securely -and- well-protected from theft, vandalism and the elements.

In any event, these fork blocks are great; no need to go with a costlier version sporting a fancy brand name.

I have 2 bikes and an SUV. I was able to carry only one bike by lying it down. I bought 2 of these; now I can mount both my bikes (or one).

Pros: So much cheaper than a bicycle rack, safer against theft and the elements.

Cons: I deducted one star because the axis is lower than the handle...therefore, is not easy to rotate it 360 degrees. First I mounted them on 2 pcs. of 2x2 cut as wide as its base to give enough clearance for the handle then screwed them on a 6x1x48 wood.

After making two bike holders for my other bikes I purchased this one to try for another bike that has smaller forks, It works well, the design good, well made. The only thing bad was that I had to take it off and paint it over again because the paint faded in less than one week. I Powder coated it and it has been looking great since. Spray paint for plastics also works. I would recomend leaving the axle part locked in your house or vehicle, I caught some kid trying to steal mine.

using this to transport our tandem bike in our minivan. easy to mount to a 2x4 and holds the bike in place.

I ordered 2 of these to make a bike rack in the back of my Honda Fit, I bolted them down to a 2x6 and strapped that down in the back and it works perfectly. My only gripe is that the fork block is somewhat loose, I have to screw it down a bit to get the bikes locked in tight, and unscrew a bit to get them out. Not a major issue, but something to note, if that kind of thing will bother you, I'm sure the fork mounts that cost twice as much will be better on that front.

This rack system is simple, but gives you flexibility. It worked great for me because I already have a hitch mounted cargo carrier. All I had to do to make it a bike rack was to drill these T970 Fork blocks to it. I bought two. Holds my bike and my wife's bike very securely. I would highly recommend this product.

Well made part, mounted in truck bed and works perfectly.
Fits mountain bike forks (4"spacing)

I mounted four of these along on the side rails of my 10 foot utility trailer in order to haul my my family's bikes and camping gear for weekend outings. What can I say, it does what it's supposed to. The only problem with the rig is that the rear wheels migrate toward the back of the trailer (since bikes are sitting perpendicular to the direction of travel). A few long zip ties fixed that.

Great buy. just as good as the expensive ones. have had them mounted in my truck bed for a while and their is no rust or weathering get. They shiped fast.
