Internal bike storage rail mount

flyingmm · Oct 14, 2020

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an internal fork mount for a bike that would attach and secure to the internal railing and stop the bikes sliding about when I’m on the move? Cheers

Aluminium Angle from my local fabricators the axel posts https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Delta-Bike-Hitch-Thru-Axle_102203.htm
t-bolts are from the vw fridge mounting plate but any t-bolt will do, I think the club shop has some.

Thanks Loz,

Does anyone else know of any off the peg versions you can buy, otherwise I think I’ll dabble with some DIY?

Haven’t yet pulled the trigger but checked with these guys NAS the measurements work. Not sure about length of bike and bike seat though.... their fork mounts look rest sweet and adaptable AMs got some great reviews.

if go for it please let me know how get on fitting bike inside van.

Let us know how that goes if you do pull the trigger @LondonPride - looks spot on

These from evoc work - meant as a base for their travel bag. Not cheap & both wheels off, but does mean you can put bike in across the back of the wheelbase is short enough

How much, if any room, is there on the rear seat like this? Could the seat be used?

I don't use it now as I went for the Fiamma Pro external rack instead.
I think there was about 8" gap in front of the bench seat.

I think your solution looks really nice @Loz and I'd almost try and build it myself, untill I realised I don't actually need it.

Wondering though, why you'd need it. Is it purely a thing of safety for your bik(s)? That they do not get stolen from the bike rack? Especially as it takes around 2 seconds to get my MTB on the bike rack. And how does this work on the ride home when your bike is muddy as...

One of my reasons for getting a van is to carry a bike inside on solo trips so I can actually stop at the service station without worrying about the bike going missing off the back. Not a problem on a family trip when we can go in shifts, but on my own it is a nice option, hence looking for ideas.
