Hi. I'm looking to get the bikes off my bumper and plan on using the same racks you got off amazon, but mounting them behind my cab. As these racks are designed to be mounted front to back and not side to side, did you notice alot of bike movement from the wind? I'm mounting them as close to the cab as possible from rail to rail to still allow my tonneau cover to be rolled at least half way for bed access. I'm thinking that most of the wind will be blocked/diverted by the cab, anyway.
Thanks,
Eric
I don't think wind moving the bike will be a problem for you. Mine were mounted across the front as you know. I was actually surprised at how little they moved. The racks have straps to hold the wheels down and brackets that clamp onto the frame tightly. Mine were very solid and they were not expensive racks at all. Just be sure the racks are attached to something firm. Good luck
