Front Fork Mounting Explained: How Bike-Hook Fits Every Van and Bicycle Type 3. Thru-Axle (Modern and Strongest Option) This popular option for high-performance and fat tire bikes involves a solid aluminum axle that threads through the fork. Sizes vary from 10mm to 20mm, with wider ones like 15mm x 150mm found on fat bikes. Our no-drill bike racks support many thru-axles, but for oversized models, we recommend our KUAT Dirtbag mounts or custom-fit blocks. We’ve even created setups for downhill race bikes with 20mm thru-axles. These custom Bike-Hooks are part of our van life bike accessories collection, made for riders with unique needs.

The Ram ProMaster is a favorite among vanlifers for its wide cargo area — perfect for combining fork mounts with a vertical storage system.Pairing a fork mount bike rack with the Bike-Hook system allows riders to safely secure the rear of the bike vertically while locking the front forks in place. This setup maximizes space and keeps bikes protected during transit.

Many traditional bike racks for Sprinter vans, Transit vans, and Promaster vans require drilling or permanent modifications. Bike-Hook is a completely no-drill bike rack, meaning you can install it in minutes without damaging your van’s interior.  You just mount the bike hook on the rear door, a rear door mounted bike rack.
