Thank you. wanted to see if would clear them. I'm not sure if I'm going this route yet or not. I have a board running across my bed in the rear slots that I can put a fork mount on. I've also been playing with the idea of putting a mount on my Tonneau cover bottom so that when it is folded up it will be facing up and can be used. Although I think the handlebars would be too high in the truck bed. Just weighing all the options before I drop any coin.

On the front bike (closest to the cab) the fork is the closest to the bulkhead with 7 3/4" clearance, 9" clearance from rear tire to the bulkhead.
From the fork to the top of the bed rail you have between 2 1/2 and 2 3/4" which seems like enough space for most folding covers, and I have attached a picture of this below.
The only 26" bike I have is a fatbike and it's quite different from regular 26's, so I used my girlfriends 27.5"/650b mountain bike to measure. When the bike is mounted, there is a 4 1/2" clearance from the back tire to the other side bar, and 5 1/2" clearance from the rear tire to the bed rail.
I hope this helps, I'm sure it will confuse a few people.

One last measurement that I have that might help those with bikes I have not fitted...
There is a 61" clearance between your bikes front axle and the opposing bike rail, and if you're only running one of my rails on one side you gain an extra inch.
So just measure from your front axle to the furthest point of your rear tire and if you're under 61" you should be fine.

**UPDATE** All orders received on or after July 1st will be charged $18.47 for shipping. I am taking more of a beating on shipping than initially thought, and due to the already small margins on this I am no longer able to include shipping.
I can ship two in the same box for the same price, so the shipping cost with be the same for one and two rack orders. Thanks.
