Works well, easy to install, planning is the hard part

So I have 5 bikes that I want to fit into a space 78 inches wide, and about 9 feet tall. I've been looking at all types of racks for over a year, and almost none of them will work for many reasons. Steadyrack is the only thing I've found that will do the job. The primary feature that lets you pack bikes in tightly is the entire system allows the bike to pivot so it does not have to be perpendicular (90 degrees) to the wall. The instructions are minimal. I recommend going on YouTube for the manufacturer's installation video. In the pack you are provided 4 lag bolts for installing in studs, and 4 companion anchors if you are installing into masonry. The hardest part is planning your installation. In a limited space, I can almost guarantee you will not find a stud where you want to put at least one of the bikes. Rather than try to gin up some sort of board that bolt into the studs, which is messy and will look terrible, go to your hardware store and use expandable metal anchors, which will hold up to 80 pounds each. You put four of them in the wall to fasten the Steadyrack, and it will more than hold the rack & bike, especially since the Steadyrack is only rated for up to 110 pounds. The rack itself is attractive, it folds up when you're not using it, the "beak-like" lip in front catches the wheel and lets you push it easily into the rack, and the front wheel is locked in. So how did I get 5 bikes on the wall in such a tight space? Put the widest, tallest bike in the center of the wall, about 2 inches off the ground. Put a bike on either side as wide as you can fit, and raise them 3 inches up, that way the handlebars clear each other. Then the two last bikes are between the center bike and the adjacent bikes, placed about 30 inches off the ground. To get higher bikes in and out, you pivot the lower bikes out of the way.

Finally, a rack that does as advertised and even my 10 year old is able and willing to use it

It's hard to impress me and bike storage has frustrated me for years. I've been through a few moderately expensive options. Having moved recently I was back in the market to try and solve the bike storage issue for our five bicycles, still wanting better than the old system I took with me. I wanted relatively easy installation. I wanted good quality. I wanted something that got the bicycles out of the way. I wanted a system that my wife and kids would actually use (this was the biggest problem). I have tried enough systems that didn't work (or not very well) so was finally willing to spend more because I was at the point of the bike's going or me going. If this is you, look no further. I bought five of these babies so quite a bill but I have no regrets five days in. This solves all these issues and now seems a bargain. I'm giving my old reasonably well reviewed zero gravity style (bar on wall, foot on floor, four arms sticking out to hold two bicycles) to charity. It's rare for me to give such a glowing review. I'll update if my happiness level deteriorates since I'm posting at five day mark. But, in those five days I've only gotten happier. A few very minor nits: 1) The little covers for the bolts don't snap on/off very easily. Those could be better; 2) There are no instructions for how to space them for multiple bicycles. They should give some instruction (Others online wrote about 16" based on stud distance but happier at 32" despite all the space that takes up horizontally. My space allowed 22" spacing so I added studs to mount to which took more work but it works well at 22". I don't think 16" would work well and 32" is just too far apart. 24" probably the sweet spot); 3) The instructions are in metric so takes a little conversion (I found that mounting the bicycles so that the back tire is about 2" off the floor when hanging in the rack)

Worth every penny

This is a great product. Our family of five has a variety of bikes, three children's & 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 child's 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. I'm 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 I'm mentioning it for those who do not know better. The rack should be installed with the "hex" headed lag bolt. (Google it, if you're unsure what that is). The guidelines were easy to follow & logical. As for hanging the bikes, it's 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 don't 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. It's rock solid.

Get this if you're looking for a bike rack!

This 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 isn't 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 don't 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!

Store bikes off the floor while retaining accessibility - Easy to use, quick access, kid friendly

Great 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.

Passes the boss's test!

We needed to get our bikes hanging up. Even though we have plenty of space in the garage l kept finding myself shuffling them around. Read some external reviews on bike racks which is how I came across Steadyrack. Even with imprecise measurements and having to do most of the work myself it turned out great! And even my wife can push/pull her bike on/off this rack. The tilting is just the gravy this rack needed to completely push the bike out of the way. I cannot recommend this any less than absolutely a killer rack. While more expensive than the competition the rugged build and ease of use made the Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) make me look good!

Super easy to install and work perfectly!

These were extremely easy to install and work awesome. I used a 3/16" drill bit to get pilot holes for the lag screws. Those use 1/2" wrench to get them secured into the wall. I mounted the top most bolt nearly tight but just enough that I can move it around to position the Steadyrack and get them vertical. Then drill and screw the bottom in place. Pop the plastic top/bottom covers back in place and the bikes go up in a flash. Got my brother one of these for christmas - hope he likes it as much as I do.

Great for heavy bikes - no lifting required

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.

Great Product

Steadyrack 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 I'm not sure how this complaint would have been handled. See provided photos.

Expensive but very impressed.......

I bought two of these, one for my wife's MTN Bike and mine. Install wasn't too bad. Garage studs were 16" apart so that worked perfectly. I mounted these staggered vertically so the handlebars wouldn't conflict. Ground clearance is about 1 inch for one bike and 4 inches for another. Both bikes are easy to remove and to put on the racks. The racks seem very stable and I like the fact you can move them side to side. Only downside is this set is very expensive but you get what you pay for.
