Video Transcript for Topline Expandable Truck Bed Bike Rack Review

This is a two bike truck bed carrier from Topline. This lightweight compact is perfect for the on the go biker, with easy installation and removal it keep your bikes secure from bouncing around in the bed of your truck. This bike also comes with a locking key to keep honest people honest and is easily converted to carry more bikes. This is by using the add-a-bike system that is sold separately. Starting from top to bottom, well cover some of the parts we have here. On top here is the arm that reaches out and holds your bike, as you can see on the left hand side here there is a clamp, that is what gets clamped to the bed of your truck. Going to the second part, this is the bar that goes between your first bike and second bike. Together they will add stability and not go anywhere.

On the bottom on the left hand side is a cable, again that is a security system to keep the bikes from going anywhere. To the right you will see a black plug, which is for trucks with over the rail bed liners. You do have to drill out a hole for your bed liner, so you can attach the clamp to it. Once you take of the rack you put the plug in and you do not have to worry about dirt or dust getting in there. Now well show you a typical installation. Before we start our install, what were going to do is mount one of the clamps to the bike first and stick the bike in the bed the way we want it. Now well mark the bed with a piece of tape. Now well take everything apart and install our clamp. Now that we have our place marked, we can install our clamp. Its pretty simple, this edge here will go behind the rail and this will clamp on top. Once we have this in place well use our eye bolt to tighten it down. Once you have it tightened the way you want it, then this jam nut has to be tightened down so it wont back off when your down the road. The next step is to loosen the clamp here the top half so you can rotate your arm. Now were going to install our first bike. Well give it a trial run here, make sure your bike is vertical. Just clamp it into place, our bike is now clamped down to our truck bed and will not go anywhere. Before we install our second bike we need to make sure we add our front tire tie strap. This will connect the front wheel to the frame so it does not move around during transport. Well install our next bike, you may want to take a couple of tries to make sure it fits right.

Now we get our cross bar, which gives us an idea of how wide it needs to be. These tubes are really big so were going to install these clamps with the handle as far out as possible on the threads. Snug them down and take a minute to make sure you have them the way you want them like they are sitting vertical. They might need an adjustment or two. Then you can clamp them down. Now well re-strap our front tire. Now all we have to do is lock up our bikes with the cable and were good to go. Well run our cable through the eye bolt and around the frames. As you can see we have two bikes secured to the back of this pickup, with an additional kit you can have up to four bikes in the bed of the truck including the first two. This is simple and easy to use design, with components consisting of aluminum and high impact plastic which will last you for a very long time and will work on all types of bikes. There you have it for part # UG2500 the truck bed two bike carrier from Topline.

Not made for beach cruisers The product was very easy to install. I first used it to carry my mountain bike and it did a good job of it. It is more secure that it seems. I tried to attach my wife's beach cruiser and I just could not get it to work. The attachments just do not open up enough for the fatter tubes of a beach cruiser. I would recommend this product to those with smaller tubed bikes. If you have a beach cruiser or a bike with fat tubes, I would look elsewhere. 1263

Simple, effective and clean I didn't want a hitch mount bike rack that gets all rusted, is too big to store easily and is a pain in the butt, so I ordered this device. It works like a dream! I can disassemble it and put it inside my truck in seconds and it isn't dirty or rusty. It's super light and it actually gets more solid with more bikes attached. It also secures the bikes well with the integrated lock system. Very well thought out. You have to strap your front tire(s) though or your bike will want to turn and will put forces on the system that it wasn't meant to handle. I neglected this step once and broke a piece, but the manufacturer sent me a replacement no charge, and quickly.436

This product works well for what it’s designed to do, keep your bike secured. However the product was not designed for modern bikes or 29er's. The manufacture needs to redesign the clamping system to be more flexible with modern bike tubes; also they need to extend the pole to reach a 29er seat post. With that said and with a little creativity I was able to make the system work by attaching the pole to the rear triangle of the bike frame. See my bike pics on how to make it work for a 29er. Once I figured this out the securing system work well.74709

This is a nice package - everything needed to hold two bikes up and to add a little security. I have a Frontier with just a regular plastic bed liner and this does work but only fits in two specific spots on each side of the bed. These two specific spots have a 3" cutout in the metal on the underside of the bedrail that just accommodates the clamp. Happens to work out just fine for my bikes. Otherwise, the clamp piece is too big and the lip won't fit over the top of the bed rail. I do with the lip of the clamp was a little wider but works fine. etrailer got the product here very quickly - great service.66398

I like the product because it does what it was designed to do,and that is hold the bikes up. If I had any say in the way it was designed,I would have made the support arms adjustable.This way you can move one bike closer to the wheel well,and the other bike out a little bit.With that being said, I would still buy another one if needed,and I would recommend it to anyone.63610

I finally have a nice sunny & half way warm day to try the UG2500 out. I have the 2009 GMC Canyon 4 door 5 foot short bed version with a tool box in the bed so space is shortened almost an extra 1 1/2 feet & as you will see in the pictures, very limited for my 26 inch polaris sportsman 21 speed bike that i converted into an electric bicycle. I had to mount my UG2500 bicycle holder closer to the rear of the truck but with 2 extra safety straps, one wrapped around the bike seat post & anchored to the rear loops in the rear of the truck bed & another strap looped around the front forks and anchored to the post in the front of the bed, the bike doesn't go anywhere. The UNI GRIP bed rail clamps tighten to the bed rail & the pivot arm bike clamp fits around my upper tube of this particular bike well. Once you have everything in place , this system holds the bike straight & level. As of this time, i believe it will serve my purpose when i take long or short trips.I should also let it be known that i took the plastic bed liner out & replaced it with a roll in bed liner plus spray in bed liner and got rid of the plastic junk. I believe that most folks with longer bed trucks shouldn't have any problem with this product as they would be able to close their tailgate for added security as far as the bike rolling out of their truck. I ordered my UG2500 on Jan.10 2013 at 3:13 p.m. in the afternoon. At 3:21 pm, eight minutes later, i received an email from George that their warehouse facility had this product in stock & it would ship out in 24 - 48 hours. At 3:46pm same date some 33 minutes later, I received an email from nathan that my order was shipped out & on the way. 3 days later it's sitting on my doorstep. Now, i can only say that is true service & fast at that along with keeping me informed of what is going on. Thanks folks for your service. 63591

I found this rack to accommodate my needs. I am single and this is perfect and easy to use and little effort to attach the clamp to the seat bar. I didn't need a hitch carrier or a bulky rack in the back of the bed. The Topline 2 Bike carrier was perfect solution. I used this product on a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. The bike is a Trek Comfort Shift 4 21".62203

The bike rack is great - it was very easy to install and holds the bikes securely. I was a little concerned about whether it would work as our situation is a little different - we have a camper shell on our truck and our bikes are the "folding" ones that a lot of RVers use. But no worries - it worked great. As far as the service from etrailers - they were great to work with!! They upgraded the shipping at no additional cost to me - I received my order just a few days after I placed it. 59622

I highly recommend this product. I ordered on Thursday; with standard shipping, it arrived on Monday. After reading over the directions and watching the videos on etrailer.com, I easily installed the rack with two bicycles (one male, one female) on my 2012 Silverado in less than 15 minuters. We drove 400 miles without a glitch, checking the connections twice during the trip-no adjustments necessary. I could not be more satisfied with the performance of the Topside 2 Bike Carrier.58700

I bought this after reading other positive reviews and I am glad I did. While I haven't had much chance to really use it yet, I installed it and took it for a test drive. It does what it is supposed to do, which is hold the bikes securely. It meets the criteria I had: (1) allows the bikes to be carried in the bed of a truck rather than on a hitch rack, (2) does not require removing the front wheel, (3) keeps the bikes stable and upright, (4) doesn't damage either the truck or the bike.56383

We bought a pair to hold our "Sun Cruz" beach bikes. now the bikes ride upright and we don't have to worry about them getting damaged laying in the back of the bed. Price is less than similar models we look at (Thule, Yakima,etc.).

I like the product very much. The only problem I have is when I added the second bike. The bar that connects the second bike needs to be a bit longer (in my opinion) If it was 3 inches longer, I could add the second bike and not have to worry about the handle bars getting in the way. As it is right now, the second bike does not sit straight.37829

The UG2500 shipped the same day and we received it in 4 days. Installed it w/ 2 bikes in less than 5 minutes. The bed rail protectors on my 1991 Silverado were not a problem. Brilliantly simple design. Eliminates the need for 3 or 4 tie-down straps. We will be using it to transport our bikes a short drive over the hill to the beach for a ride this weekend. You can spend much more for other rack systems. This one does the trick easily and simply. I would definitely recommend it.34884

The product works great. We took our bikes on a 100 mi. roundtrip visit to a nice bike trail. The bike carrier worked exactly as promised and was fairly easy to use. The only thing to make it better would be to have the option to have larger diameter clamps. If your bike frame is thick you may not be able to use the clamps. Solved the problem on my wife's bike by using the seat post rather than the frame. Excellent value!34266

Unsure how well it would work for long over the road trips. Might do fine but would regularly check the bolsts for tightness. 100% satisfied here.20640

I purchased this product last July and I am very pleased with it. And the customer service is great. Mine was backordered and they kept me informed by email of the backorder status until it was shipped. I noticed that the clamps could be a little larger or the bolts longer to fit arount my bike frame easier, but it does work and it holds the bike tight. Im happy.

Check out the review video for this product I attached. If you cannot access your side rails then you will need to use a different truck bed bike rack. I would recommend you get a Yakima BeddyJo 2 Bike Truck Bed Mounted Rack # Y01116 as this rack only requires that you have a tail gate to install. I at

  • Will the Topline 2 Bike Carrier Truck Bed Mounted Expandable Bike Rack Work with Womens Bikes
  • Because the arms and clamps on the Topline 2 Bike Carrier Truck Bed Mounted Expandable Bike Rack, # UG2500, are adjustable, it will work with womens style bikes. If for some reason it cannot grip the frame, you can also try the handle bar post or seat post as connection points. I have included a link to a video demonstration of this rack for you. Another option is the Softride Tailgate Pad Bicycle Transporter, # SR26461 (Mid-size trucks) or # SR26457 (full-size trucks). The concept is simple,

  • Will Topline 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier fit a 2007 Toyota Tundra
  • The Topline 2 Bike Carrier you referenced, part # UG2500 should work great with your Tundra. The only possible fit issue would be if you have a plastic drop-in bed liner or anything else like an OEM tie-down system that would interfere with the rack from clamping to the bed rail. If you scroll down the product description page, you will see exactly how the clamp attaches to the truck bed rail. If you do have the plastic bed liner, an access hole can be cut into it to allow the clamp to attach to

  • Will the UG2500 Truck Bed Bike Rack Work in a 1997 Nissan XE Standard Pick-Up Truck Bed
  • As long as the bed rail on your 1997 Nissan XE standard pick-up truck has a 90 degree lip turned down inside the bed of the truck with open space behind it, see photo, the Topline 2 Bike Truck Bed Rack, # UG2500, will work for you. We also have a video showing how this rack being installed in a truck for you to review, see link.

  • How Can Two Bikes With Different Angle Crossbars Attach With the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack #UG2500
  • The clamp at the end of the bar that connects to your truck bed will swivel to secure your bike at the cross bar, but the clamps on the Add-A-Bike adapter do not swivel or rotate to connect to angled crossbars on your Electra Townie bikes. Instead, you will want to connect the adapter to the seat posts since they should be at the same or very similar angles. I have attached a photo showing you two bikes connected with the adapter at the seat posts.

  • Truck bed Bike Rack Recommendation for a Truck with Tonneau Cover Mounting Rails
  • The rails for a tonneau cover extend too far out for the brackets on the Topline bike rack, # UG2500, to safely attach. What I recommend that will not require any drilling into the bed or modification is the Yakima BeddyJo, # Y01116. This rack secures by anchors that mount in the tail gate hinge. Take a look at the video and isntructions I have linked.

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendations for a Subaru Baja
  • The Topline bike carrier, # UG2500, could potentially work in a Subaru Baja bed. Take a look at the video I have linked. If the Baja has a lip like on a regular truck bed to attach the hardware, you can use this rack. Another possible option is the Yakima BeddyJo, # Y01116. It secures in the gap between the tailgate and bed and holds 2 bikes. I have included links to the instructions and a video for you. I have also included a link to all truck bed style bike racks.

  • Will Topline 2 Bike Truck Bed Carrier # UG2500 Fit 2003 Ford Ranger With a Bed Liner
  • The Topline 2 Bike Truck Bed Carrier, part # UG2500, will clamp to the top of the bed rails on your 2003 Ford Ranger. If you have an over the rail bed liner, a 3-inch hole will need to be cut for installation of the bike carrier. If your bed liner does not go over the top of the bed rail you will be able to install the bike carrier with no problem. I am including a link to a video review on the Topline bike carrier and it shows it being installed in a Ford Ranger with a bed liner that does n

  • Will Topline 2-Bike Truck Bed-Mounted Rack # UG2500 Fit On 2012 Toyota Tundra
  • The Topline 2 Bike Carrier Truck Bed-Mounted Rack # UG2500 may fit your 2012 Toyota Tundra. To find whether or not it is a fit for your vehicle, you will need to check your truck bed wall to see if there is a lip that hangs over the top for the clamp to hang on to. If you have a bedliner that covers the underside of the top bed rail, you will need to cut a hole so the clamp can grab onto the lip at the top of the sidewall. Also, if you have a bed rail system, it will have to be removed prior

  • Will the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack Fit on a 2003 Toyota Tundra SR5 With Spray-in Bed Liner
  • As long as the spray-in bed liner on your 2003 Toyota Tundra SR5 does not block the lip at the top of the bed side wall, you will have no issues using the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack, # UF2500. This bike rack will grab around the top lip of the truck bed to hold the bike (see photo). This bike rack has been used on many trucks with both plastic and spray-in bed liners, but there must be a lip for the clamp to secure itself to the top of the truck bed wall. I have attached a video installation

  • How to Plug Up a Hole Cut in a Bed Liner to Install the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack # UG2500
  • What you can do first is use a hole saw to drill the hole out of the bed liner. Using a hole saw will provide a nice round hole that will be easier to plug. Make sure the edges are smoothed down with some sand paper. Then you can get a grommet of some kind at a hardware store to plug up the hole when the bike rack is not in use.
