We had bike hooks on an Ikea Elfa garage rack. It was hard to get a full size bike on to those and the rubber stuff on the hooks kept ripping and coming off. Major pain. Installed one of these for my wifes bike and it works great. I will be reconfiguring our wall storage to accommodate more of these. One caution: the listing says the standard size will work up to 2.4 tires. it wont Ive tried Furthermore, the box it comes in says maximum size is 2.2 I was able to get my sons 2.25 tires to work with very little room to spare, but my 2.35 front tire will NOT work. My advice -- if your tires are bigger than 2.2 get the mountain version.

This is the best bike storage option I have found. I tried a few less expensive ones, but they didnt work near as well as this design.

Really easy to install and they are very sturdy. My electric fat-tire bikes are 70+lbs each and they are supported very well. Some people are complaining about the fenders getting in the way, but for me that wasn’t an issue. The metal support of the rack went right between the fender and tire and fit perfectly. Love the pivot feature which allows you to basically fold the bikes in against the wall so they don’t protrude out as far. The only complaint is the price, but you get what you pay for.

I hardly ever wright any reviews, but felt it was necessary after I installed these for my wife and I. As all, the older we get, the ease of use become very important and that was the main reason I purchased these bike racks. The bike racks main two purposes are space saving and ease of use. Well these accomplish both. They were very easy to install (wall stud installation) and I had all three bikes up in less than an our. I would recommend these for anyone who needs the extra space and does not want to have to lift the weight of the bike as with other types of bike racks.

This is a great product. Our family of five has a variety of bikes, three childrens & two adult - in different sizes. I looked at several systems and read reviews (noted that children had difficulty hooking bike tires, between spokes & balancing, etc), ultimately deciding to spend way more than I had planned on the Steadyrack. It was a slam-dunk. Steadyrack does not disappoint. This product is all that is cracked up to be and in my opinion, worth the money. I bought a four-pack for my family, and an additional fender-style for my retro bike. The area where all bikes are hanging is 71 wide. It holds three mountain bikes, my huge & heavy beach cruiser, and a childs 20 bike. I spaced them approximately 13-15 apart from one another. There would be no way to catch a stud for all these bike racks, so I had the lumberyard cut a piece of plywood to size, and mounted a ledger-board to the wall. Then I had a solid surface attached to the studs. This allowed me to install the racks with more confidence that they would be secure. Im in the United States & believe that the origin of this product is Australia. This may explain why the installation instructions are in millimeters. It was easy enough to find a conversion online, but I did have to be cautious not to make a calculation error. Measure twice, drill once! The only other note, was that in my haste - and without giving it much thought - I used the wrong fastener to hang the first rack. The racks come with both lag bolts & truss-head wood screws, which I dumped out on the workbench, and by the time went to hang the first rack, my son handed me the screw and it stripped going in - quite easily. Oops! I should have known better - so Im mentioning it for those who do not know better. The rack should be installed with the hex headed lag bolt. (Google it, if youre unsure what that is). The guidelines were easy to follow & logical. As for hanging the bikes, its as easy as it seems. My youngest is about 54 tall & 50#. Getting the bike up into position was a challenge for a couple of days. We tried different ways to hold the hand brake & use the seat to leverage on her thigh - and soon enough she was able to do it easily. I attached a photo showing all five bikes on the wall. They do rotate easily out of the way and dont fumble into each other as bikes are placed on & off. I felt like I pushed the limit on how close you would want to hang bikes of this size - and there is still plenty of room to get them on & off without interfering with other bikes. I have a lot of confidence in the longevity of this product. Its rock solid.

I bought two of the Classic versions. Wall stands are a great space saver, but my wife and kids always found the type that hooks around the front wheel difficult to use - so they ended up never using them. The steady rack was easy to install (just follow the instructions to get the right mounting height depending on your bike size). Our bikes were typical road bikes with 27 tires and the top bolt height for the rack was 67 off of the floor. The front wheel rolls right into the stand (no lifting needed) and once in the stand the back wheel rests against the wall mount (approximately 1 off the the floor). The stand holds the bike upright and straight, so there is no risk of the bike falling to one side if the front wheel gets turned or bumped. I plan to get 4 more for the kids mountain bikes/beach cruisers.

I installed these in our old garage and loved them so much, I took them when we moved! They even hang “hard to hang” Townie Electra cruiser type bikes. They’re sturdy, and we’ve had our bikes hanging within a couple feet of many exotic cars (for over 2 years now). To Install: I attached 1x4’s to the drywall in our garage. (I used a stud finder and secured them, with my own screws, to the studs beneath the drywall.) Then I used the included-bolts and secured those into the 1x4’s. This allowed me to hang the bikes where I wanted them… and didn’t restrict me to hanging them directly over the studs. Note: I’m a 31 year old woman with basic knowledge of tools/drills/levels/etc so anyone should be able to do this.

I spent a lot of time researching vertical wall mounts before purchasing the SteadyRack. My main focus was to find something that was easy enough for my daughter and wife to use, as they were unable to take their bikes off the wall or put them back up for that matter using the standard hook type solution that is sold by most big chain hardware stores. Im very happy with this solution so far, my wife and daughter can now get their bike off the wall, and put them back. The fact that you can swivel the mount side to side is a nice touch, as you can move other bikes out of the way when dealing with your bike. Obviously these are much more expensive than a hook, however, if your the type that appreciates simplicity and flexibility, you wont be disappointed. I ended up mounting three bikes on the wall, I ended up putting 16 between each SteadyRack, I mounted the middle bike (mine) about 7-8 inches higher than the other two so that the handlebars would not interfere with each other, keeping in the mind that the two on the end would be easier to get up and down for my wife and daughter (lower to floor). I left room on the left and right side, so the bikes on the end can be swiveled out the way if needed. I did not use the mounting bolts that came with the kit, as the studs did not line up in my preferred location, I purchased 75 pound drywall screw kit, I used 3 of the 4 mounting holes on the top and bottom, I suppose you could use all 4 mounting spots if you wanted, however, it seems very secure using the top 3 for me. Follow the install instructions for height off the ground, as you dont want to mount it to high off the ground or it will be harder for your wife and kids to deal with their bikes. Hope this helps. Great product !!!

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 familys 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. Im 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 theres enough room for handlebars as well as the riders hands. I wouldnt 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 everyones 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, youd 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 youd only be able to mount two bikes (one on top of the other) in the space Ive used for four. Plus I can guarantee that the kids would not be able to quickly take a ride without Mom or Dads 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, youll need at least an additional 3 (added to the bikes 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 daughters 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, weve 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, weve 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.

I have a small garage and this product will help me keep floor space and it should be easy to store the bike without having to lift it up onto something. Just wheel it up on the back wheel. It’s winter here in Wisconsin so my brother and I installed it and we wheeled the bike in place hence the bike won’t be used for a few months so I can’t give a 100% testimony of the racks functioning but I like it so far. So far so good!
