4.0 out of 5 stars good solid rack May 13, 2008

By Campbell T. Peters

This rack is nice and solid and holds the bike well. It works especially well when you can anchor to a stud, but it's been OK so far for me in the first few months anchored into concrete with included wallplugs. I set mine up so that the back wheel would usually be resting on the ground, to reduce the load on the hook.
I also bought the bottom tire holder to protect the wall. It's OK - doesn't really serve much purpose, and it's a matter of opinion whether a lump of plastic is less of an eyesore than a tire mark on the wall. After a year or so, I repainted the wall and chucked out the plastics.
I use a variety of sizes of bikes on these, and so far they've all been OK. Positioning of the bottom tire holder isn't going to perfect for all bikes if you use for more than one.
After a couple of years of almost daily use, some of the rubber coating on the hook is coming off, but otherwise, rack is doing fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars New design DOES work with MTN bikes April 11, 2011

Ignore the old reviews saying it won't work with mountain bikes. This hook rack works great, and I have hung both my roadbike with 700c wheels and my Mountain Bike with 2.5 inch tires - both are great. It is evident that the product I got is a new design, since it isn't quite like the picture. Check for pics I posted to see the new wider hook design.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Piece of Work August 20, 2011

By Jimi Oke

This hook (or rack) and accompanying tray are fantastic, instantly transforming my space after installing and hanging up my road bike. A few pointers:

1) You do not necessarily need a stud to install the rack. You can hang it on drywall with the right hardware. I used the Toggler brand "Snaptoggle" toggle bolts, able to support about 300lbs in 1/2 in. drywall. These toggle bolts required a half-inch hole to install. This made it tricky to determine the exact distance between the two screws. I ended up drilling three holes before I got it right.

2) The mounting instructions on the packaging say (2b) "mark the spot where the front tire touches the wall," and (2c) "measure 12" above that spot to mark the top screw hole of rack." I found the 12" to be off. 6" is more like it. Having to drill an extra hole below the second turned out to be a blessing, because the top hole was way too high, following the 12" direction.

3) Note that the tip of the hook is roughly 4" above the top screw. I have a 700x23c wheel, and the top of the wheel is 5" above the hook when the bike is hung. Thus, my bike ends up about 9" above the top screw.

4) It's extremely helpful to hold the bike up against the wall, as the manufacturer suggests, and take appropriate measurements before drilling any holes. I did this all by myself, but if you can get an extra hand, that may save you a lot of time and effort.

5) Something I consider to be a design flaw on this otherwise beautiful and functional rack: the screws are not flush with the rack. In my setup, the lower screw juts into the wheel right close to where it rests on the rack. Not sure if my tire will lose pressure faster because of this (probably not), but I wish the screws were flush with the entire rack surface.

I would post a picture if I had a camera, but I have to say for 15 bucks, this is an excellent apartment solution for my road bike (one-bedroom in my case), and it holds it in a spot that seems to have been made just for this.
