Steadyrack Bicycle wall mou

 

I installed two of these racks in a trailer. The rack is very easy to load the bike onto, and once the bike is mounted, it is very convenient to be able to pivot the bike right or left (superb design). This rack would work perfectly as designed if installed in a garage or house. But to use in a trailer that is being pulled down the road, around curves and over bumps, we added a few modifications. First we added easy-to-find velcro straps to prevent the front tire from coming out of the rack when we hit bumps. Second, we added a small chain and spring clip to secure the back tire in the lower mount. Finally, we added a chain and spring clip system to limit the swing of the rack and keep the bikes against the wall of the trailer when driving down the road. Everything unclips in seconds and the bikes are easily dismounted. This system is very convenient, since you can swing the bike in the rack to one side or the other to allow for storing other items in the trailer and for easy access to load and unload the bikes. The rack itself mounts easily to the wall and is very high quality. We expect many years of use from this product. We have had 4 very expensive bicycle racks for receiver hitches (obviously a different application), but this is the easiest rack we have owned to load and unload. Loading the bikes on this rack is more about technique than strength, which makes it perfect for those of us in our late 60s to load as well.

 

After many hours of research, I chose to install 4 of these racks despite the hefty price tag. I needed something that would be easy for us to hoist our bikes onto (2 daughters). Other racks require dead lifting the bike straight up and based on the tight amount of wall space I had, they would get caught on the others when trying to remove them. The swivel feature is what sold me..
I staggered the installation heights on the wall with the outer bikes being the ones that rested on the floor for my youngest and I (mom). I actually hung them only 11 inches apart but I was drilling into a cement wall so I didn’t have to worry about studs. The heights listed are measured from the floor to the very top installation hole with bike frame size in parentheses. These heights allowed room for the handlebars to clear each other. My oldest barely rides her bike so hers and my husband’s are off the floor but they barely need to be lifted because once the wheel rests on the wire rack it rolls right onto the holder. Super simple.
64″ (17″ frame) rest on floor
74″ (15″ frame)
79″ (21″ frame)
65 (18″ frame) rest on floor

Loosen the bolts a quarter turn on both ends before you install so that the rack can swivel. Not too much or else it swivels too much when trying to hang the bike. I was drilling into a cement wall so I used Tapcon screws with a washer. I initially installed the rear tire plate for the first bike but found that it hindered the swivel function so I removed it. It’s a garage and I really don’t care if the wall gets scuffed a bit. Even without it, the bikes rest fine and are perpendicular to the wall.

Final result: they are everything I had hoped for. I am so pleased!

 

This is a top top top quality product, very solid, simple enough to fit. I bought 4 of this classic version. Turns out the fendered bike fits on this style of bracket too. Its super easy to mount the bike, no lifting required all the family can manage it. No more moving bikes around to get the back one out. they all fold almost flush to the wall. worked out really well.

 

Excelente producto fcil de instalar. Cumpli mis expectativas, adquir dos racks para almacenar. Vale la pena y lo recomiendo 100%. La entrega y calidad del producto perfecto.

 

The good news – this is a seriously solid rack, well-engineered and built to last. In fact, I’d say it is over-engineered and probably far more rugged and durable than it needs to be. It would be ideal for both commercial situations and home situations like mine.

The semi-bad news – this rack can be bear to install into a block (masonry) wall. You need to drill 3/8-inch anchor holes in the block, which is not easy for most folks. A 3/8″ bit is the top capacity of most home drills. I had to buy a new masonry bit and even though I generally know my way around tools, it was a struggled to drill clean holes that were level, etc. — not impossible mind you, just a struggle. This rack would probably do fine with 1/4 tapcon screws holding it onto a wall, but that’s part of the over-engineering I mentioned above. Once you get these bolts in, the rack isn’t going anywhere.

Also, the primary bolts holding this onto the wall are carriage bolts, which require a socket wrench to really get tight. I had the wrench, but again, it’s not common to every household.

Those issues aside, I LOVE THIS BIKE RACK. I have two bikes on a wall in a newly renovated workshop (see the picture). I had to install them on a space between a sink and a shelf. Because of these racks, I can swing the bikes in either direction, depending on which thing I need to access. Because their footprints on the wall are so small, I will be able to mount other items on the walls around them – shovels, ladders, etc. Even my wife was impressed.

One thing that took a long time to figure out – how to stagger the height of the two racks so that my bikes (which are almost the same size) wouldn’t bump into each other. You MUST visit the company’s website to download their suggestions for install, but even those are a bit useless to me as they are in metric and they offer two very different options for spacing. I ended up placing the racks about 16 inches apart and mounted the second one about 6 inches higher. That provided plenty of clearance between handle bars and pedals.

Btw – it is not a very big deal to load the bike into the higher rack. It takes a bit more effort as you need to push the front wheel up onto the rack, but my wife was able to handle it easily.

Overall, I’m thrilled with these racks and I think anyone who can handle the issues of proper tools and the installation will love them too.

 

Je le recommande fortement pour augment l’espace de rangement. Il est facile d’accroch le vlo et les points d’appuis n’tant pas a l’intrieur de la roue comme la majorit des rack (Un crochet par exemple) ne risque pas d’endommag les rayons ou la roue. Merci beaucoup!!

 

I was very satisfied with this rack. I have now ordered four in total. I love that they swing out of the way. It is very sturdy and easy to install. Once I followed the directions properly.

 

I bought 3 of these bike racks for my garage. They work extremely well. They are very easy to install and it’s very easy to put your bike on the rack and take it off the rack. I also love that you can tilt the bikes to the left and right. It took me a while of searching for bike racks to decide on a style but I really love this bike rack.

 

Please install in a stud. Took two usage for it to rip out of the wall when not in the stud. It did ruin where i wanted them to be installed but overall great produc

 

These allowed us to hang five bikes because of the swivel into a tight corner! They work beautifully. Make sure to mount at a height that does not require lifting the bikes, especially for children to be racking their bike. 5 stars

 

Cleaned up the garage by getting the bikes off the floor. Great for small storage areas

 

Affordable, practical, & it looks really nice!

Make sure to mesure the space before you order to make sure it will fi

 

While planning for a garage renovation that took our house from a 1-car garage to a 2-car garage, we wanted to ensure we would be able to store our family’s bikes in an efficient manner, but also make it easier for everybody to retrieve them when they wanted to take a ride. The renovation is almost at an end, and you can see the results… these racks are kind of magical in the way they accomplish both these goals at the same time.

I’m going to provide some key measurements that helped us with planning and installation. We have staggered the racks in order to space them as close together as possible, which is approximately 13-13/16″ apart. (Instructions are in mm rather than inches; hopefully this helps others using the English system of measurement.) We hung the first rack 16″ from the wall, so that when the rack is perpendicular to the wall for loading/unloading there’s enough room for handlebars as well as the rider’s hands. I wouldn’t put the racks closer to a corner than that, personally.

There are lots of different answers online to the question of how much space is “saved” by swiveling the bikes as close to the wall as possible… obviously everyone’s bike has different dimensions so this is a tough one to answer. In our case, the bikes are approximately 44″ high, measured from the ground to the top of the handlebars. When swiveled against the wall (as shown), they stick out about 30″ from the wall. Granted, if you were mounting them with a more conventional rack, you’d only have the width of the bike sticking out from the wall, and many bikes are 24″ wide (from handlebar to handlebar). On the other hand, if you were using a conventional rack you’d only be able to mount two bikes (one on top of the other) in the space I’ve used for four. Plus I can guarantee that the kids would not be able to quickly take a ride without Mom or Dad’s help getting the bike down. This is so much better!

One last measurement that greatly affected how we installed the racks: When you swivel the bike to the side, you’ll need at least an additional 3″ (added to the bike’s height) of room from left to right. This takes into account how the rack swivels from the very base of your front tire, which is not tight to the wall but protrudes slightly when the bike is mounted on the rack. In our case, the “new” garage space we claimed is set back from the “old” garage wall. I had hoped to squeeze the bikes precisely into this “new” space (in a different configuration, swiveling left rather than right), but those extra inches meant that the racks had to be hung as shown. They spill over a bit into the “old” space, but it works well especially when you consider that our youngest daughter’s bike will eventually be replaced with a larger one as she grows. This leaves room for that growth — always a good thing!

In the end, we’ve got 4 bikes in approximately 8′ of width, and even our youngest can load and unload her own bike. Consider us VERY happy customers. Oh! One last note on installation: As you can see, we’ve installed our racks into concrete block. Drilling for and installing anchors into masonry is never easy, but since the rack is made in Australia you should be prepared to either suffer through the arduous task of hand-tightening bolts with an adjustable wrench (as I did) or get some metric-sized bolt drivers.

 

Ottimo acquisto, facile da montare e svolge bene il suo lavoro. Anche molto resistente, lo sto usando per una MTB taglia 29 M

 

Love these racks! Wish I had gotten them years ago. The skinny, hook-type racks work fine for our light road bikes, but our heavy mountain bikes with the wide tires wouldn’t fit in them and were too big and awkward to lift up and try to make them fit. So we got these racks and love them. Our bikes’ wheels are 29 x 2.25 and they fit just fine in these racks with a little room to spare.
Really love how easy it is to lift up the front of your bike and just roll the front wheel into the rack. Bike stays in place perfectly. We didn’t even mount the rear wheel guide. And getting the bikes down from the racks are just as easy.
Mounting instructions were good. We mounted on a block wall in our garage, so we only used two of the screw holes in the top and bottom of each rack and they are very sturdy. We mounted one a few inches higher than the other to give our bikes’ wide handlebars a bit of room to overlap.
Highly recommend these racks for those that don’t want to lift heavy bikes and deal with trying to get the bike tires to fit inside little hooks.

 

Perfect for my bike! Easy to install, bike is out of the way!

 

Easy to install and a great design. My garage has never had so much space. I couldn’t imagine a better solution for tight space and some additional security. Kids 8 and 10 could use them as well…

 

Estuve buscando durante varias semanas un rack que se adaptara a las condiciones que buscaba, ya que vivo en un pequeo departamento y las medidas que tengo son reducidas. Fue entonces que encontr este rack, estuve viendo videos en su pgina de internet y evaluando opiniones en foros. Realmente me impresion la excelente funcionalidad que tienen, la excelente fabricacin y lo sencillo de su instalacin. Es muy muy recomendable!!!

 

it make my shed more room for my road bike 29er bike.

 

Once installed this product is excellent. The hardware is not great and none of the four racks I purchased came with instructions regarding the correct hole size for the plastic grommets used when not hitting a stud. Even when using a hole size small enough to have to hammer the plastic grommet in, the design is so poor the plastic will rotate instead of allowing you to tighten the bolt to a stop.
The other aspect that is less than perfect is the silly clips that hold the top and bottom caps on. They are fragile and made of a hard plastic that breaks instead of bending. If you read your warranty, you will note that damage caused during installation or shipping is not covered. In my case I had one broken clip in shipping and one during installation. The cap still mounted but a better design or product material is needed at this price.
With all that said, once mounted this rack is excellent. I have the racks spaced at 10 inches apart (254 MM) with every other rack about a 10″ higher than either side. (Measure your bars, divide by 2, add an inch or more for clearance) Even with the additional height I am easily able to roll the bike onto the rack. The pivoting feature is excellent. I do not know of another way of getting four bikes into a tighter spot without risk of damage to any of them.

 

Best system to hang your bicycles.
Tyre friendly – very practical

 

This is an excellent device for storing bikes and recommend it.

 

El embalaje perfecto. El producto tiene una buena factura y aparenta buena calidad.
Las instrucciones son escasas y en Ingls. Si las quieres en otro idioma tiene que disponer de un ordenador e internet.
No son muy claras pero se entienden bien.
Recomiendo tomar bien las medidas porque es donde ms dudas he tenido yo, aunque ni instalacin implicaba ciertas consideraciones pues la bicicleta se encuentra en voladizo en el hueco de una escalera.

Los tacos no son los de mejor calidad posible y de los 8 otificios solo se suministran 4 tacos y tornillos. Debido a que yo quera instalarlo en voladizo he adquirido 8 tacos de buena calidad y 4 tornillos ms para asegurar bien, pero entiendo que para una instalacin normal, como la que indican los vdeos, el material suministrado es suficiente.
La instalacin es sencilla, tan solo tienes que tener en cuenta la correcta verticalidad.

Compr este producto por su capacidad de pivotar y porque su sistema de sujeccin no daa las llantas.

He probado otros productos, ganchos de pared (9 a 12 ) y dejan marcas en las llantas.
Antes de este compr unos ganchos para colgar desde el techo, pero la calidad de los tacos, tornillos y poleas, as como la cuerda dejaban mucho que desear.

La diferencia de precio entre comprarlo en Amazon o la tienda del producto es realmente importante, unos 40.

 

Excellent bike rack. Easy to fit, easy to mount the bike on and brilliant on space saving specifically when you can swivel the rack. Don’t have a bad word to say about it. Will be buying another at some point as I have a few more bikes to mount.

 

Ottimo portabici, robusto e pratico, ho appeso mtb da 15kg e tutto ok.
Ho solo preferito utilizzare dei tasselli fischer perch quelli in dotazione sono i soliti approssimativi.
Unica nota dolente il prezzo che non giustifica il prodotto seppur di ottima fattura, ma 70 euro per un portabici son troppi e sfruttano solo il fatto di non aver una degna concorrenza.

 

Muy prctico, se ahorra espacio y cumple perfectamente su funcin. Muy cmodo al quitar y poner la bicicleta puesto que no hay que levantrla. Lo uso con una BTT con rueda de 29″ y es perfectamente compatible.

 

bought these for my garage so i can store 3 mtb bikes and a road bike. installation was a breeze (used 2×6 to mount b/w studs). too bad they’re so expensive though.

 

Great item – well designed, strong and easy to install with clear instructions providing all the info needed to position each rack at the correct height.

It does help if you know the approximate weight of your bike, as this affects the amount of flex in the rack when it’s under load and therefore the optimum height at which it will ensure easy and secure operation.

Because the racks rotate from side to side, it provides a handy way to inspect and work on parts of the bike that are normally difficult to access when freestanding – and allows bikes to be folded to either side to minimise storage space when not in use.

One thing to be mindful of is that this stand supports the weight of the bike by ‘cupping’ the front wheel – so in general, works best with bikes that don’t have a front mudguard.
