> 3 dayBought these after doing lots of research. When I finally decided I wanted the bicycles off the floor with easy access, I decided on this brand primarily for ease of use and ability to swing the bicycles 90 degrees either side to minimize the protrusion into the garage space, which is being used for a car detailing business, a workshop, and an exercise area. I decided not to mount the racks directly on the 16OC studs because I wanted the bikes spaced about 12OC apart to maximize wall space. I spent more time planning and measuring than my husband and I spent installing the back boards and racks. I created templates and taped them to the wall to arrange how the back boards and racks would be mounted (see picture.) Then I cut and attached the back boards (2×4s) for each bike, which were all approximately the same size. I staggered the height of the racks so that the handle bars would clear each other and allow the bike to be mounted closer. I am very pleased with this purchase, and would purchase more if needed. I highly recommend! Oh and our 23 yo son said they were cool.

> 3 dayThis rack is amazing and I am glad I purchased it. It is very sturdy and comes with very large bolts, which means it takes a bit of time to mount but once it is up it isnt coming down. Allows me room in my garage to mount the bike and then swing it to the side to get it out of the way. Very cool feature. My one minor negative, the bracket that holds the rear tire from rubbing the wall has tall sides, so when I pivot the bike to the side my deep rim wheels/tire dont sit inside the bracket anymore and end up resting on the top edges. It still keeps the wheel from rubbing the wall, but would like to see a bracket that is not so tall on the sides so the wheel/rim can pivot a little better and stay within the side walls. Highly recommend however!

> 3 dayOnce 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 dayRight out the box, this looked impressive. Very well packaged and shipped. The racks are bigger than expected. Installation was fairly easy if you can handle finding studs, drilling holes, and using levels. I have a small area in my garage that wanted to install two bike hangers. The bikes fit nicely and with the angles, we can easily move in and out of the garage. Just installed today, but extremely happy with how this turned out.

Greater than one weekI couldnt be happier with this bike rack. I purchased three and love being able to have our bikes off the ground. The pivot feature is fantastic because you can hang them close together and still get to the bike you need. This is a huge space saver (we live in an urban area and have very little storage space). I was able to install them myself fairly easily. The only thing I didnt have was a socket wrench that is required for the lag bolts (borrowed one from a neighbor). This is one of my favorite purchases and one you wont regret. Watch a few installation videos before starting; that really helps.

> 3 dayI love finally having a solution to keep my 2 bike neatly up against the wall... Im using a classic model for both a road and mountain bike I havent seen another solution that allows you to easily load and then fold the bikes in so its a great design! Im taking away a star because of the plastic body and rear wheel support - you would expect metal at this price although the construction of the rack itself seems very well made ...also, as other reviewers have mentioned, the rear wheel support doesnt really secure the tire. If you swing the bike on its hinge too quickly the rear wheel pops out. Still recommended but its hard to justify the price.

> 3 dayWould have preferred the mtn version take up to a 3.0 tire rather than maxing out at 2.8. Forced me to go up to the fat version, which is wider and does not fold into the wall as tight since the rack contacts the wall sooner. Other than that the system is study and easy(ish) to install.

> 3 daySteadyrack Classic Bike Rack Twelve days ago I mounted two Steadyracks to my garage wall. Since then I have had one bike off and on the rack 15 to 20 times. The ease of use is as simple and easy as the company shows it to be in the video on Amazon. For me the racks are perfect: 1-They allow me to store my bikes in a small corner space. 2-There is little, if any, hassle accessing the bikes. 3-They mounted securely to the wall - stud and drywall. 4-They are not ugly. Installation was not real difficult, but required accurate measuring and close attention to the provided instructions. In my case, a rack mounts to the wall using a stud AND drywall. I suggest, instead of using the drywall anchors supplied, buy and use toggle bolts. I do have one complaint. All of the fasteners, lag bolts and drywall anchors, were missing from one of the 2 racks and about half of the fasteners from the other box were missing. I never notified Amazon about it, so Im not sure how this complaint would have been handled. See provided photos.

22-11-2024Space saving, easy to use and super strong. This is the best bike storage option Ive found. I have 6 bikes. 3 ebikes and 3 regular. The ebikes are about 40lbs. These racks work great. Easy to put the bikes away and get them down. Saves me so much space. All the bikes are in a 6 foot space of wall. They stick out about 3 feet and I can push them closer to the wall if I need to. This is a very excellent product. Pure genius.

> 3 dayI like this rack very much, and it’s a perfect solution for holding my 39-pound vintage bicycle in my small condo. It’s easy to use, and swings far enough that the bicycle’s pedal is right up against the wall, so that is what determines how flat it can fold. I tried a couple of other products, but with this one I don’t have to lift that very heavy bicycle, and it is also held off the ground so that I can sweep underneath it and it doesn’t catch dust bunnies. However, I followed the instructions for measuring so that the bike would be 3 inches off the ground, and somehow it ended up only 1 inch off the ground. I’m not sure what happened there, but I didn’t realize this until after it was already installed, so I’m not gonna go back and drill a bunch more holes in my wall to raise it up another couple of inches. I was able to drill one of the bolts into a stud, and one had to go into drywall with an anchor, so make sure you pay attention to what surface you are drilling into. I think the only other thing I want to do is put a little bit of vinyl sheeting behind the lower tire support, to guard against any scuffs on my wall. That is what I have done with my other bikes where they are close to the wall. I will say that when I am putting the bike on the rack, if I don’t line up the front wheel exactly with the rack it will move side to side and make it hard to put the bike on. So just line it up properly, and it rolls right on and it’s held very securely. I did try rolling my mountain bike onto this, and it did work, and I think it would work with just about any bike except for one with exceptionally wide tires..
