Simple and effective outdoor recreation

It's simple and effective. I would still consider this a good deterrent rather than absolute certainty. If someone is obsessed with stealing your bike, they can still unscrew the fool. However, it is (relatively) cheap and works.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Basically good, but...

keeps my bike safe

I travel a lot with my bike and feel safe locked in the truck with this chest. I'm not sure I would leave my bike in the truck overnight, but I feel perfectly safe at rest and restaurants and the like. very durable and safe.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Legacy model

Fixed lockable bracket

Two of these bolt to a UWS tool box I bought on Amazon for my 2012 F150 Supercrew. They hold my bike and block them to do their job properly. If you order multiple, the chances that they have the same keys are not in your favor. I had a set of Yakima cores about 20 years old running the exact same SKS cores. If you want them to have the same keys you may need to purchase a set of SKS locking bars.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • not sure

Perfect lockable bike rack for my Nissan truck

This item works great with the 2017 Nissan Utilitrack bed system on my frontier. Like all Yakima products it is built to withstand heavy use and will keep your bike secure and protected. At first I had doubts as to how the Blockhead would attach to the track system, but after installation it turned out to be an original accessory. Just grab the flare nuts, bolts and washers shown in the photo and you will see how easy and convenient it is to install this bike mount on your truck.

Pros
  • Fun
Cons
  • Some bugs

Strong locking head, excellent anti-theft protection

Although there are no screws that attach to my truck's toolbox, a quick trip to the auto parts store and drilling 2 holes in my toolbox is enough. Trying to unlock/unscrew this dumbbell is very very difficult, I tried right after installing it. I locked the front of my bike in a blank and chained the rear wheel to the luggage rack of a truck, a thief would have to work really hard to try and steal my bike. With three blanks in my toolbox, I'm ready for a family trip down the California coast!

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

. Pickup toolbox so I can easily transport my road bike without a towbar

Attached to my pickup toolbox so I can easily transport my roadbike without a towbar. Was very stable/safe. I added an aluminum plate to the bottom of the toolbox lid to make it stronger. The local bike mechanic offers delivery/collection and has 3-4 of these installed in the back of his truck so he can haul multiple bikes. When he entrusts his very expensive bikes and his customer bikes to these bindings, that reinforces my positive opinion. I like that this design has a solid metal end on the

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Capacity

I love this bike rack

I love this bike rack. I bought one a few years ago and installed it in the back of my truck in minutes. I have used it to carry my bike over 100 miles on many occasions with no other straps necessary. I bought this second Yakima mount as an extra bike to transport my wife's bike or when a friend wants to ride out of town with me. But I'm giving this "BlockHead fork mount" 4 stars because unlike my first mount, it didn't come with mounting hardware! So what was supposed to take just a fewโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No result
