 Heininger Bike Rack for a Pick-up Truck September 3, 2010
D. K. Pearson (Illinois)
The product came fast and easy to assemble and install. Works well with any bike.
 Could be a problem with some bed liners August 12, 2010

If you have a bed liner in your truck that is not flat against the bed where the pressure fittings hit you will need to "adapt" the rack to make it fit.
I used a ratchet strap to secure it because the angled corners would make the unit pop out of the corner and there is no way to make it stay.
I like the basic design, but the rack is made with light weight material and I am wondering how it will hold up. I will figure out ways to reinforce it as necessary, or use the design to come up with something more substantial if that doesn't work.
It's worth what I paid for it, but if there was something more substantial I would have paid more to get that.

After a considerable amount of research for a suitable bike rack for my ford ranger truck I selected the heininger model 2025. The bike rack was easily assembled and provides a stable base for our two mountain bikes. As an added percaution I use a cargo bar through the front spokes.
Delivery took about 10 days & it cleared customs without any problems.
An excellent product.

Bought this rack because it's suppose to hold up to 4 bikes, however, I had problems with it holding my one bike. Like the fact that it fits in the bed of my truck, but the design is better suited to be used as a regular bike rack for your garage. 1st off, if you have a mountain bike the tire is too wide for the foam rollers to be effective in securing the wheel, just not enough room to wedge between tire and rack frame. If you try to position the rollers and then back the bike in, the rollers rotate and come off. A hassle. 2nd, you have to place the bike in rear wheel first and to get it in far enough you have to crank the derailleur forward. Can mess with the alignment of rear derailleur. Didn't like that at all. If you don't secure the front tire forget about keeping the bike vertical. Even after securing the front tire, foam rollers and even using a cable and lock to secure the bike to the rack I still had to hold the bike with my hand by reaching out my back window whenever I made a turn. If you have a ten speed or road bike with narrow tires I don't know how you are going to keep it from falling/leaning over when turning, possibly bending your rim and the foam rollers are not wide enough to secure a skinny tire. Stopped using rack after two trips. For my money I consider it a waste. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but I doubt it. Tried several different solutions but came up with the same result. Very disappointing. Gave it a two stars because it is simple to put together and the cable that is supplied for locking the rack up so it does not get stolen is nice.
Can work but not exactly what you expect. July 29, 2010

I have a 6 by 12 trailer with kayak racks and thought this would be a nice addition for the inside of the trailer. At some point the info for the rack said this would stretch up to 6 feet which is incorrect so I had to put wood on the sides to make it hold. The rack slid some and had to be readjusted. As others have said the bar on the rack will hit the dearailer when you put to bike in. If you put the bike in a high gear it should help with that problem. Also, I ride a 29" Mt. Bike and the tire barely fit. I am not surprised by that since most bikes are 29".
For my needs an extension piece that could be adjusted to different sizes would have helped and the foam pieces were too big for my bike needs. It is worth the price but could use some improvements. I also had to tie the front of the bikes down to keep them from moving too much.
