> 3 dayIf the company sends me another lag screw it will go to 5 stars. Sent an email to them questioning the size rack I should get and never received an answer. Bought a classic and hope that when I upgrade my bike this will fit the new one. Easy install and I can swerve the bike out of the way of the cars and a door for storage in the garage. Really perfect for our situation. Company responded and sent a new screw set immediately. Have had it up for a little over a month now and works great. Our garage is small, barely fits the cars and love that this turns so the bikes are out of the way.

> 3 dayThese are so cool. My little kids can load and unload their bikes. They also save so much space in my garage. The swivel design allows me to fold them in and they are no wider than our shelves. The installation would have been easier if I had a socket wrench but was kinda tedious with traditional wrench. That was a necessary evil however as these racks are super bomber and never coming off the wall unintentionally. A little pricey relative to other options, but I do not regret my purchase. The space saving was well worth it.

> 3 dayWe recently moved into a new home, and I was looking for a way to efficiently store our familys six bicycles and get them off the garage floor. I spent several weeks reviewing the different systems out there but was surprised to find that not one of the typical racks or suspension systems fit in a way I wanted. On a lark, my wife googled bike storage systems or some such title and ran across a picture of this system. We dug into it further and were initially quite interested. But, never having seen or heard of it, I was a little skeptical. We kept researching, however, and found this product on Amazon. (Note: it did not come up in a SINGLE search of bike storage systems I put into the Amazon search window. When we found an article about it online, we clicked on a link to where one could purchase the product, which took us to Amazon. Subsequent Amazon searches for this product during the our research phase were fruitless unless we went BACK to the article or put the EXACT product name in the search window.) After reading the other reviews and considering the relatively reasonable price, we decided to jump in with both feet and ordered six. I could not have been more pleased! The product construction is solid and the mounting screws are incredibly substantial. (I mounted all of mine into studs to ensure that they were sturdy enough not to pull out of the wall.) In the end, the product works as advertised, and I COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED. If faced with the same circumstance again, I would order these again in a heartbeat. (Note: Somewhere along the way, I read a review in which the reviewer stated that s/he mounted the racks on every other stud to allow ample room to articulate all the bikes on the row. I considered placing them closer together to preserve wall space but immediately recognized the wisdom of placing them a bit further apart. It does take up more wall space, but mounting them on an every-other-stud basis maximizes the effectiveness of this rack.)

> 3 dayGreat for saving space without compromising accessibility. No more ‘ceiling hoist’ racks requiring Dad to get the bikes down. Now everyone, including my kids, get their own bikes down AND put them away Pros: - Easy to use - Quick access saves time - saves space - Allows bikes to swing or pivot against the wall - Bikes can be mounted as close as 14” apart and still pivot against the wall - Relatively simple installation and online videos available - Simple to put bike up and down Cons: - not the cheapest solution - Drywall anchors included are inadequate (try and use a wall stud) I use the fender racks to hold two 26” beach cruisers with large front fenders. The bikes are held vertically with the rear tire just off the ground. Just tip the bike up on its rear wheel and roll it onto the rack. Then swing the bike to the side until the handlebar is against the wall (tires remain against wall while bike rotates side to side). Installation considerations: - Installation instructions state bikes can mount as close as 14”. This works for similar bikes (two beach cruisers or two mountain bikes), but with different types the handle bars can interfere with each other. You need to move them farther apart or stagger one higher off the ground (impacts ease of storage/retrieval) - Drywall anchors included are totally inadequate. Do not use these to mount into Sheetrock without a stud. I used Snaptoggle anchors (Home Depot, etc.). One reviewer marked this product down for the poor wall anchors. This isn’t unique to this product, included anchors are usually junk. Weight bearing items usually mount to a wall stud for support. I prefer not to pay extra for a product to include quality anchors, and if needed I purchase my own. If your priorities are space and convenience I strongly suggest you look at this rack. The ceiling racks I used were hard for my wife and I to use, and way too difficult for my kids. The bikes just weren’t getting used. I hope this review is helpful in selecting a bike storage solution.

> 3 dayAn amazing product. The way the bike snugs against the wall, it utilizes the space extremely efficient. In the past, which ever way I stored the bicycle (plainly leaning it against the wall) it always seemed to take so much garage space. Now, I cant believe how little space it uses - where one bicycle fit in previously I can now fit two of them and to top it all the area visually seems pleasantly uncluttered. Removing / storing the bike is a snap too as opposed to my initial idea / concept of ceiling suspension which would have involved a winching system of some sort (read - additional clutter). Owing one only bicycle at the moment (I always felt there is not enough space in my garage for two so I always procrastinated the purchase of a second one), I actually bought two of these brackets with the peace of mind that I can now purchase the second bicycle (for my wife) and have ample storage space for it. Edited for clarity and mistakes.

> 3 dayI purchased this for my husband. We installed it on a wall of about 10 inches between a window and a cabinet on the adjacent wall that we occasionally get into in our garage. It saves floor space, we can very easily swing it out of the way to get into the cabinet and it holds his bike securely with no damage to the light weight road bike. We will be purchasing another one or maybe even two to use for our other bikes. I can’t believe how good this works and how secure the bike feels!

Greater than one weekOnce properly mounted on the wall, it is very easy to slide the bike in to it, regardless of weight. No lifting. Many other bike stands/ hangers require a person to lift the bike on to the hooks, which could be a problem. Very clever and sturdy design.

> 3 dayThis is a great bike rack, I love the hinge so I can push the hanging bike side-to-side, and I like that the rack folds up when not in use. Its quite easy to install, but instructions could be more clear. There are some paper installation instructions included. As a purchaser in the US these contained measurements mostly in inches, also mentioning metric equivalent. Steady rack also has an installation page on their website (/pages/installation), which is better, all in metric. And from that page you can download an installation manual PDF, also metric, which seems to be the most detailed. There are slight differences between all three, however, and I ended up reading through all of them more than once. Some of the instructions called for a 10 mm drill bit to drill pilot holes. Some simply stated use a drill bit smaller than the screw size. None of the instructions told me the screw size. I eyeballed it and used a 15/64 drill bit. I think 10 mm would have been too wide. One slightly weird thing is that amongst the bits and pieces they provide are two rubber tips. They are only listed in one of the three forms of instructions, and it didnt even say what they are for. Overall Im very happy with the product, just wish the instructions were a bit better. Despite this, I was able to figure it out and install four of these without an issue, and am very happy about my new and improved bike storage!

> 3 dayI purchased two of these racks to hang my Specialized road bikes vertically on the interior wall of my spare bedroom. Installation was straight forward and once youve located the studs in the wall (highly recommend mounting to studs and not using the expansion anchors) the installation is very easy. The only criticism I would have is that the installation instructions are pretty lacking for people who dont have a lot of experience in handy work. If you dont have experience with similar installations, Id recommend getting a friend to help or hiring a professional. Aside from locating studs, youll want to be sure to avoid plumbing and electrical utilities in the wall. Once installed, the racks worked great! Unlike many other wall mounting methods, Im not worried about improperly installing the bike and potentially messing up the spokes or having the bike come crashing down. Mounting the bike on the racks is super easy, and my petite 5-0 girlfriend has no issues getting her bike into the rack. The rack is incredibly solid and I have no concerns of their quality. I would definitely recommend these racks to a friend. In fact, I have a friend that Ill be installing these racks for in her garage.
