Steadyrack Bike Rack - Wall Mounted Bike Storage Solution

I lik the fact I can hang my e-bike from this bracket and not have to worry about it falling. At 68 and 56 its all I can do to lift it up to the cradle. If you drop the height of the bracket down to 1/4 over the length between the tire centers, its easy to roll the e-bike up to the bracket and hang it. This was learned from trial and error. A normal bike would be easier to lift so you could just use the dimensions in the instruction sheet verbatim.

I was a bit hesitant to buy, because of the price. These work perfectly and are exactly what I needed to hang my bikes. Buy once cry once.

Once properly mounted on the wall, it is very easy to slide the bike in to it, regardless of weight. No lifting. Many other bike stands/ hangers require a person to lift the bike on to the hooks, which could be a problem. Very clever and sturdy design.

See my detailed product review for the regular Steadyrack. I love it. As for the Fender Rack specifically, I read about possible interference of the fender supports & the rack, when placing the bike on the rack & how to handle that. The first time I put my bike up, I encountered this interference, but I have to chalk that up to the simple learning curve - because it hasnt happened since that first day. One thing to be prepare to address: When I pop my bike up to get my front tire on the rack, my rear fender hits the concrete floor. (The grinding noise is enough to let you know youre scraping paint off the fender. Mine wasnt too brutal, but it could have been worse.) My beach cruiser is 44 lbs. so its not necessarily easy to lift it up. I place a small rubber mat on the floor there when I put my bike on & off the rack. Even a thin rubber-backed rug would be enough, but its certainly something to be aware of... This is not enough reason to avoid the purchase. Just prepare for it. This product is solid and it works great to organize our family bikes. Photo attached.

easy ti install and saves me space. I swing the rack to the side and I wish that there was a way to lock it in the position I needed it to stay in.

These are the best bike racks available IMO. I wish they weren’t so expensive, but I have no regrets. I was skeptical, but they can indeed hang 16” apart. I installed all of them into studs and they are very sturdy. The only reason for the wide spacing you see in the photo is the location of the electrical outlet. I used one mountain rack for a wider tire MTB, one fender rack for a TT, and four classic racks for the road bike and a MTB with non-knobby tires. The varying heights helps accommodates 4 road bikes and two mountain bikes, one of which has bar ends. This makes it possible to pivot the bikes farther without parts of one bike hitting the next. We don’t have any trouble parking two cars and having the bikes at 90 degrees, but we typically keep them at an angle of around 50 degrees. They are easy to pivot. I mounted the racks higher on the wall because our road bikes are lightweight, and I wanted the heaviest mountain bike (far right rack) to be a couple of inches off the floor for any necessary sweeping. Plus it’s not really that heavy. I’ve not yet had a chance to mount the rear wheel rests on the two racks on the left due to bike maintenance.

I purchased this for my husband. We installed it on a wall of about 10 inches between a window and a cabinet on the adjacent wall that we occasionally get into in our garage. It saves floor space, we can very easily swing it out of the way to get into the cabinet and it holds his bike securely with no damage to the light weight road bike. We will be purchasing another one or maybe even two to use for our other bikes. I can’t believe how good this works and how secure the bike feels!

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 isnt 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 dont 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!

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!

Measuring the height is somewhat tedious, but ice you have the position, the rest of the installation isn’t too bad. I love how much space these save. Because they swing easily they are easy to put up and down if you mount it at the ideal height for the bike you plan on storing there. Without this I couldn’t reasonably store my bike in my apartment. Definitely be sure to follow the instructions and only install in studs. I had no issues with installation and it’s very sturdy, but a heavy bike held up by drywall would be a bad day.
