Wall Mounted Bike Rack – Holds 4 Bicycles – Home & Garage Bikes Wall Hanger Mount

The item actually arrived 15Jun15 thats seven days early, yea...... All parts were present in new unused condition.Had to look thru the instructions carefully to find the how to for this product as the instructions were for full other items sold by manufacture. However it was pretty straight foward from the picture online. Only fact you need from the instructions is what size drill bit for pilot hole.Have read reviews from others about lag bolt lenght being to short, wasnt the case for me with 3 x 3" bolts. Including 1/8" of stea, lock spring washer, and 1/2" of drywall I was a full 2-1/2" into the stud that is only 3-1/2".We hung two 26" cruisers,one 26"cruiser w/ rear mounted child seat, and 1x 28" cruiser, seams to be fine. Used last hole on end, then every fourth hole working back tward wall ( mount hooks before you hang bracket.) You have to alternate directions with bikes and I found moving the peddles to pass thru the frame of the next bike helped to layer them in.Make sure your center of the stud, even if you use a fancy stud finder ( I didnt, I placed a cup on the wall ear to the cup and tapped, listening for change in sound ) once you have the stud find its center , I chose to drive a wire nail into the wall ( moving parallel untill I missed the stud, then reversed direction to find the other edge. used a three foot level to make a line up the wall with pencil, held bracket to wall with pencil mark passing thru all three holes. used pencil to outline holes, moved the bracket , drilled pilot holes with 3/8 bit. bolt to wall, hang bikes.

Bought this awhile ago and finally got around to installing it. While everything necessary was in the box in terms of the washers, nuts, bolts, and the bar, I found it disappointing that there were no instructions (had they been there, this would have been a 5-star review).I would say I'm slightly above average when it comes to this sort of project and I was able to figure it out fairly quickly, but others may not. Once I figured it out, it took maybe 30-45 minutes to install. You'll need a drill and a pair of wrenches or (preferably) a wrench and a ratchet. Probably a stud finder as well, since you'll want this to be anchored so as not to rip your wall off.Once installed it's pretty much as advertised. Nothing fancy but it does the job. My roommate has an old mountain bike and I have a Gary Fisher hybrid. Between the two of us we take up most of the space on the rack. We might be able to squeeze in a 3rd bike if we had to, but I seriously doubt we'd be able to use all 4 hooks.Definitely happy with the purchase. It's gotten our bikes out of the way and enabled me to clean and organize my garage better.

When I got this in the mail... I felt ripped off.It came with directions for a cabinet shelving system.So, I'm paying what??? for just one of these arms and some bolts and hooks?Oh well, live and learn I thought, so I installed it according to the poorly photocopied directions.And its holding four bikes on the wall... nice and sturdy.I only bought one because I didn't know how it was gonna turn out.So thought to myself, I'll just go to local Home Depot and buy the parts myself and save a few bucks...Well the quality of everything in this world is going into the crapper... noting I could find was close to the heftiness of this bracket.So after burning a hour of my time... I spend about the same amount of money on other brackets that ended up taking up more space. (Only two bikes, per hanger)In the end, I wish I bought two of these brackets and saved myself that extra space in my garage.Yeah, it's not pretty, but it works. None of the bikes are really expensive so I don't really care about bikes scratching/touching each other(No real damage).BTW, I have 8 bikes in my damn garage. Not one belongs to me... just tired of playing dominos with the bikes when one of the kids bumped into one.

We spent months trying to figure out what to do with 3 bikes in a 625 sq ft apartment. We almost got rid of one of the bikes. We aren't allowed to hang anything from the ceiling, but we have NO floor space. It doesn't leave many options. Living in Portland OR, we thought for sure one of the 1000s of famed bike stores would have some clever, cheap solution to our, we assumed, common problem. No such luck. I finally stumbled across this on one of my many online searches. What a find!We've had it hanging (we did buy dry wall screws) for 8 months with no problems in walls that are dry wall over stucco (crumbliest crap ever put in a building. We have trouble hanging pictures with framing nails!). We were able to keep all 3 bikes and in the middle is our bike pump.The only complaint I have, and I feel almost like I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth to say it, is if you want to get the bike in the back out, at least in the space we have it in, you have to take every bike in front of it out. Considering how much space it saves us, this isn't an issue, but for some it could be. Also, keep in mind you have to fit the bikes in like Tetris. Otherwise, you can get a handle bar or pedal in the spokes or worse and if you're not aware, it can cause a bit of damage. This didn't happen to us, but it ALMOST did *whew*
