Steadyrack Bike Rack - Wall Mounted Bike Storage Solution

After many hours of research, I chose to install 4 of these racks despite the hefty price tag. I needed something that would be easy for us to hoist our bikes onto (2 daughters). Other racks require dead lifting the bike straight up and based on the tight amount of wall space I had, they would get caught on the others when trying to remove them. The swivel feature is what sold me.. I staggered the installation heights on the wall with the outer bikes being the ones that rested on the floor for my youngest and I (mom). I actually hung them only 11 inches apart but I was drilling into a cement wall so I didnt have to worry about studs. The heights listed are measured from the floor to the very top installation hole with bike frame size in parentheses. These heights allowed room for the handlebars to clear each other. My oldest barely rides her bike so hers and my husbands are off the floor but they barely need to be lifted because once the wheel rests on the wire rack it rolls right onto the holder. Super simple. 64 (17 frame) rest on floor 74 (15 frame) 79 (21 frame) 65 (18 frame) rest on floor Loosen the bolts a quarter turn on both ends before you install so that the rack can swivel. Not too much or else it swivels too much when trying to hang the bike. I was drilling into a cement wall so I used Tapcon screws with a washer. I initially installed the rear tire plate for the first bike but found that it hindered the swivel function so I removed it. Its a garage and I really dont care if the wall gets scuffed a bit. Even without it, the bikes rest fine and are perpendicular to the wall. Final result: they are everything I had hoped for. I am so pleased!

Bought two of these after looking at many other storage options, reading reviews, and even watching a couple of amateur YouTube installation videos. The only really difficult part of the installation was determining how high to drill the first hole. I just followed the instructions - put the back tire against the wall, place the rack on the ground under the front wheel, and measure. I added an inch to ensure that the back wheel was off the floor when the bike was being stored, put the rack on the wall, drilled four holes, and was done. Including measuring several times, and going really slowly, mounting the first one took an hour. The second one was up in ten minutes. We love the way the bikes look, and the rotating feature moves them out of the way. The racks are simple to use - my 52, 105 lb. wife has no trouble getting her Electra Townie on and off by herself.

Like many cyclists, I own more than one bike. I only recently added a new road bike to the family and needed an easy way to hang it in a limited space. I liked what I had read about the rack, so decided to give it a go. I am far from being a handyman, so anything that requires measurement intimidates me. The instructions are clear as to what tools you need, but I did get a bit confused trying match the correct drill bit- when I looked the recommended bit, it looked way too small. Anyway, once I figured that part out, the rest was easy. Once the holes were drilled, it took less than 30 minutes to complete. I did have the benefit of being to hang it on a stud, which I think made it easier. It does seem sturdy and I am happy to have my new bike on it. Would I recommend this rack? Absolutely, even if you’re not the handiest around the house.

Thanks to the previous reviews I was careful with the plastic trim--both in prying it off to uncover the top and bottom holes, and in replacing it so my plastic housing is fine. The metal parts are overly robust--like they were made for 100 pound bicycles, so comparatively the plastic does seem lightweight--but it is only for dressing up this wonderfully sturdy bike rack. And, yes, it does really swing like a swinging door (you may have to loosen the vertical bolds a bit to get an easy swing). I installed two closer than they are supposed to be installed in my florida room--in a tight spot. I also installed one to hang up from the floor 2 (the way they recommend) and the other higher than they recommend (with the rear wheel touching the floor) so they would nest nicely in just 27 of wall space. One tire is 4 wide and the other 4 1/2 wide and both fit in the groove well. I am more than satisfied--very happy, with this product.

These were so easy to install. The only thing missing from the directions were how far apart to space multiple racks but a quick site search found the answer on their HELP section. The fact that you can swivel them to the side is awesome and an important requirement for me was that my kids can get them on and off without me. Hanging bikes from the ceiling was not going to work for that. Now in the video the little kid made it looks effortless. I will day for my daughter who is shorter it was a little bit more challenging than how they have it shown, but a little practice should fix that up easily.

Very well made, came with very heavy duty bolts...not sure that is needed unless your bike is made of lead..having said that...rather have too study than too flimsy. Getting the height right is a tad tricky...rear tire must be off the ground...but... not that hard... I mounted to wooden post in my garage, and it works outstanding!! I do wish you could lock it into place...as it does tend to move a bit when loading..but that is minor. Overall, really happy with it, does what I want...although I dont smile when loading my bike like in their videos... :-)

Bought 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.

This rack is fantastic. We are a very active cycling family- 9 bikes between 4 people. My wife and daughters are not particularly tall, so hanging bikes on the wall has always been a bit of a challenge, We had traditional bike hooks in the wall, but family members had difficulty hoisting the bike up into the hook. Additionally, if you need to move the bikes to one side or the other, inevitably the bike wheel turns sideways to the hook and things get messy from there. The result? Hooks bending spokes, bikes tangled up, and unhappy cyclists. When rennovating the garage, I bit the bullet and bought a bunch of these racks. WOW! What a difference!! We staggered the bikes (high/ low) to squeeze them close together. Bikes just roll onto the low racks from the floor- basically zero effort. To store a bike on the high rack still requires lifting, but its a lot easier to do- instead of having to capture the hook with the wheel, you just drop the wheel onto the rack. Much simpler! Perhaps the best feature is the ability to swing bikes from one side to the other. Unless you have a dedicated garage for your bikes, youre likely sharing space with cars and household stuff. Getting to the bike at the end of the row used to always cause problems for us. Now, we can just swing the other bikes out of the way and access whichever bike were after. Brilliant!! The photos attached are before and after shots. The before shot shows lots of wheel/ tire marks on the walls, and you can tell they dont always hit the hook they were after. Weve had the SteadyRacks installed for over 6 months, and theres nary a mark on the wall. Fantastic!!

I found these not so easy to install but I had to deal with thin condo walls and a stud that was not easy to find. Overall this product is very good. After searching for something to get my bike off the floor in my condo and swing out of the way when my second bedroom Murphy bed needed to be used I was so happy to find this product. The hardware is very sturdy. The plastic caps are strong. It works perfectly. I did wish the swing out of the way allowed the tire to be in a grub on left and right side @ - their solution is to float the tire on the left or right side of the bottom cap. But it does work great. I give it a overall 5 as its my fault the install was hard. Online video instructions helped a lot.

I have been looking for a bike rack that can support my wifes new e-bike and help save space in the garage. My wife and I stumbled upon this rack during a recent trip and we bought two for our bikes (we have three). After installing the two we bought (the store only had two in stock) we were so pleased we decided to buy the third on Amazon. We now have all three bikes hanging in the garage in the space that one bike would take up. Super easy to install, saves space and is easy to load and unload the bikes; even the heavier e-bike. I highly recommend this rack.
