Steadyrack Bike Rack - Wall Mounted Bike Storage Solution

My bike has fenders so in order to use this I have to lift up the entire bike and place the front wheel and front fender onto the rack. I cant roll the front wheel in as intended. This scratches my front fender. For bikes without front fenders you would just roll the front wheel onto the rack easily. I like the feature where you can move the entire bike 45 degrees toward the wall while in the rack, which helps with storage space, but this type of bike rack would work better for bikes without fenders. I should have bought a different bike rack. Also the instructions said to lay it out on the floor to measure how high to install - this did not work for me and I had to put several holes in my wall to have it up high enough so my bike did not touch the floor when on the rack.

I was hesitant at first by the price because I needed 2. But after the easy install and ease of use, I couldn’t be more than happy to recommend this to everyone that wants a vertical rack that also saves space. Just do it, pull the trigger and buy this rack, you won’t regret it.

I installed two of these racks in a trailer. The rack is very easy to load the bike onto, and once the bike is mounted, it is very convenient to be able to pivot the bike right or left (superb design). This rack would work perfectly as designed if installed in a garage or house. But to use in a trailer that is being pulled down the road, around curves and over bumps, we added a few modifications. First we added easy-to-find velcro straps to prevent the front tire from coming out of the rack when we hit bumps. Second, we added a small chain and spring clip to secure the back tire in the lower mount. Finally, we added a chain and spring clip system to limit the swing of the rack and keep the bikes against the wall of the trailer when driving down the road. Everything unclips in seconds and the bikes are easily dismounted. This system is very convenient, since you can swing the bike in the rack to one side or the other to allow for storing other items in the trailer and for easy access to load and unload the bikes. The rack itself mounts easily to the wall and is very high quality. We expect many years of use from this product. We have had 4 very expensive bicycle racks for receiver hitches (obviously a different application), but this is the easiest rack we have owned to load and unload. Loading the bikes on this rack is more about technique than strength, which makes it perfect for those of us in our late 60s to load as well.

Would have preferred the mtn version take up to a 3.0 tire rather than maxing out at 2.8. Forced me to go up to the fat version, which is wider and does not fold into the wall as tight since the rack contacts the wall sooner. Other than that the system is study and easy(ish) to install.

We have 8 of these for our family. Some from Amazon, some from the local bike shop. Yes, it was a hard investment to swallow for the easier daily usage. All 8 racks cost about the same as the cheapest bike in the family. You would want a garage for a nice car, right? If you are using your bikes several times per week or more you will start to see the value of these. Just tip it back and roll it in. The lighter bikes get a small hop up of about 6, and that staggers the handlebar heights. We get all 8 bikes on the wall in about the same width as the sofa. 4 bikes are used daily, the other 4 are used 2-3 times per week, and all 8 are always easy to get to. I am the one that installed them all, and I agree that the plastic end caps are not always easy to pop on and off. I grumbled a bit when doing it, (it hurts your fingertips after the first 3 or 4...), but now that its done the pain is gone and they look nice enough. The mounting holes are huge. The bolts that were supplied looked about 3 times bigger than they needed to be. The instructions were very well written and easy to understand. Yes, Im normally the type that doesnt read the directions, at least with something as simple as locate wall stud, measure height, go. But the tip on just putting the thing on the floor and backing the bike up against a wall to measure along the floor was a very good idea. In my case of having 8 bikes I also measured the wall to handlebar distance, floor to handlebar distance, and handlebar width. With a page filled up with numbers for each bike I was able to pick the right dimensions to get everything installed once and once only, and still have the ability to put any bike in any rack without the bikes touching the floor or each other and taking up the least amount of wall space. With some 26, 29, and 700c size wheels those numbers can be very different. The wall studs were in random locations and not where I wanted the racks. I chose to mount some nice oak veneer 3/4 plywood securely to the wall studs, then freely position the racks on the plywood wherever I wanted them. The kids have also noticed that these racks are great for cleaning. On the maintenance stand the handlebars can swing around and whack em in the head sometimes. On these wall racks the front wheel is nice and stable, and the other bikes can be tipped away to the side while cleaning. About the only thing they use the park stand for now is the chain scrubber. Cant do that when vertical. Most importantly, these racks are a joy to use daily. It just encourages us all to get out and ride more because there is simply no hassle getting the bike out the door.

Nice rack, easy to install, pivot feature is very nice and makes it easier to mount in an odd or unused space. The rack straight out of the box felt a little flimsy, but the support from the massive stud bolts really stiffens the rack up and makes it impressive. Very little flex when folding and unfolding, no bounce when the bike is mounted. The pivot is smooth and feels stable. Im glad I mounted it before I made any decisions. The only reason for the -1 star is that my rack came in an undamaged and taped box, but one of the end caps that cover the mounting screws was not in the box when I opened it. The whole thing works without the second end cap, but is isnt as pictured and I dont know if there is only supposed to be one.

Space saving, easy to use and super strong. This is the best bike storage option Ive found. I have 6 bikes. 3 ebikes and 3 regular. The ebikes are about 40lbs. These racks work great. Easy to put the bikes away and get them down. Saves me so much space. All the bikes are in a 6 foot space of wall. They stick out about 3 feet and I can push them closer to the wall if I need to. This is a very excellent product. Pure genius.

Mounted mine next to my storage room door, tilt it in the front of my door out of the rain then If I need to go in I just move it to the right. Don’t think it was meant for the fat 29inch wheels but all I did was bend them open a little more to fit around the tire. Only issue is the bottom piece. I had to use a strap to hold the bottom tire to the mount so I can fully rotate it without the tire falling but other than that it worked perfect.

Loved the idea but didn’t work for our situation. Not enough room in our space. Will consider again if bigger garage

Installs super easy, does the job I need them to do flawlessly. Super bomber build quality. This is my favorite bike storage solution I’ve used this far in my lifetime of cycling. Can’t recommend these racks enough.
