Yakima BedHead Truck Bed Bike Rack Review - 2005 Chevrolet Silverado

content loading




Review of the Yakima BedHead Truck Bed Bike Rack on a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado


Alright today, on our 2005 Chevrolet 2500HD 8-Foot Bed Pickup Truck, we're going to do a test fit of Yakima part number Y01133 for locking bedhead. Alright, one quick note about this bike carrier is that it does grip to the side of the bed of the truck and you cant use it with bed liners. However, if you would accommodate for it, you may have to cut a hole in for a bed liner. In this case, we dont have a bed liner so it will be very easy to see how it operates. We'll start off by positioning the rail clip and then well put the fork lock in position. Once we have it where we want it, we'll go ahead and tighten it down with the provided Allen key.

As you can see, it doesnt take much to tighten it down. Now, we'll go ahead and install a locking skewer. Alright, the bike rack is ready to accept the bike so lets go ahead and load up the bike. Ok, well, let's go ahead and take our bike. Remove the front wheel and load it onto the bike rack.

With the clamp down into place, we'll go ahead and lock it down. And with that, that will finish it for our test fit of part number Y001133, the Locking BedHead from Yakima, on our 2005 Chevrolet 2500HD 8-Foot Bed Pickup.
