The bike stand is very sturdy and takes pretty wide mountain bike tires. When ordering the bike stand, I was concerned that it would not be able to take both bikes, but that was not a problem at all. The stand is big enough to easily take two bikes. Also, it only took about 10 minutes to put together and it is pretty strudy.
The HeavyLift is awesome! Does exactly what we need it to do. The hand crank gives you quite a workout - it takes a few minutes to raise or lower it, but it gets up and out of the way.
Installation is a different matter. The arms are heavy enough that working over-head for any period of time is challenging. I recommend creating a template, predrilling the holes, and using a cordless drill to install the bolts. Having two people would have made the chore much easier.
Overall great product - you'll soon forget the pain it was to get the thing installed!
I've been trying to clean and organize my garage so that both cars can fit. this is most space effective method I could find for two bikes. The stand is sturdy and Racor's customer service is the best. One of the arms didn't fit so I called them and they shipped me an new arm within a day and a half.
Not much to say, but it does what it is supposed to. Once you mount it into a stud it may not look strong, but I don't think it will fail. I added some small washers to the hardware just for perhaps some added support. It holds my heavy downhill bike with no problem, and it holds it high on my ceiling. Get this to organize your garage or put the bike out of the way in your apartment without spending $100.
To be honest I had my doubts this would hold up 2 mountain bikes (although both aluminum) but it is quite sturdy. The third time putting the bikes on the rack though, the rubber coating ripped off of one of the supports, I'm going to have to wrap tape around it to keep it from coming all the way off. I'm sure I should have lifted the bike higher instead of just pulling the bike off and it may not have happened.
Also be sure to pre-drill for the mounting screws as they are fatties. I stripped one pretty good trying to skip that step.
All in all an good solution for storing your bikes up and out of the way.
Item works well for our childrens' bikes. However, we have to aid one with a bungee cord because the spokes on one of the bikes does not allow the tire to sit completely within the grasp of the hanger. The other two bikes don't have metal spokes, so there is no problem. You will leave tire marks on your wall, even if you get the guard for the back tire, so I would recommend using these in the garage or storage building only.
I actually bought this for holding garden supplies. Shovel, Rake, some tree trimmers, etc. All of Racor's products work really well for me. I have about 6 of them. They mount easily, they hold well, and they are made of very strong steal under the nicely coated rubber that also grips well. I have even put an Axe and Sledge Hammer on this, and the holders don't even flex, let alone bind. I highly recommend this product.
I'm not sure if these have just gotten worse lately, or what, but the latest reviews are telling of what the current product is like. I bought two of these units for my garage.
These arrived in a huge box from Amazon, and were packaged very well, with no visible signs of damage.
I opened the first box, and started going through the instructions (mostly decent, could use some extra steps), and checking the fit of everything, after noting some of the reviews. Everything seemed to fit inside the track during inspection, and the parts seemed of decent quality.
When I started assembly of the first unit, I installed the track. Once this was done, I tried to slide the metal stops with the allen bolts in them, ... Read More:
the rack is nice and functional. bigger than i expected, but we rent so we can't hang hooks in the walls or ceiling. somewhat difficult to lift bikes off the rack when near a wall. rack hangs bikes well for quick mechanical maintenance. easy to move location of hangers all along the stand.
