The verticle bike rack works great. Holds my bikes securely...and saves garage storage space. After looking at all the bike storage solutions...this is the best choice. Those gravity bike racks eat up too much garage space as the bikes are still horizontal. Hanging it from the ceiling is not good as it sways and not all that secure. Bike rack on the ground is not good as it is just as good as using a kickstand.

I was able to mount two bikes to the wall...where the two racks are 15" apart. Total space used for both bikes is less than three feet.

After looking at other vertical racks...this is the most well constructed.

its not wide enough to fit a mountain bike tire. i got a shiny new mountain bike and it wouldnt fit.

i put my old hybrid bike on it, and the product works well, but i would not have bought it beforehand knowing it wouldnt fit my bike. my hybrid bike has a kickstand.

Agree with the other reviewer who noted that- despite claiming to fit all size tires- this product does not work with mountain bikes.
Also, the screws are cheap, so when I tried to remove it from my wall I ended up having to drill the heads off of the screws.

Maybe this works great for road bikes. But Delta's advertising claims are crap, and I doubt Ill buy anything made by them again since I won't know if it will work as advertised or not.

I've been a part-time bike commuter and charity rider for years and only recently bought a house. Having a garage was my number one priority as I was sick of moving bikes in and out of the storage shed. I also had to leave my primary commuter on the front porch only partially sheltered from the rain. I always wanted a decent commuter too but was always afraid of its being a target for theft.

Immediately after moving in, I started putting these up two at a time with every other one about a foot or so offset from the others. As soon as I had an open hook, I started building my dream commuter too (Whoo-hoo!) The three lightest bikes hang along the upper row and the full suspension bike and the touring bike hang a little lower to keep the handlebars and cables from getting tangled.

Take a cue from how bike shops store their bikes. I have five bikes taking up just 6 feet of wall space. There's room underneath to store the camp stove, grill, lantern, etc. that I don't like to keep inside the house as well. The only drawback is having to lift a heavy bike up high and onto the hook (Mal-Wart shoppers beware!)

As far as the earlier mention that it wouldn't handle mountain bikes, I have no trouble fitting 2.25" tires in there. If you're a downhill fanatic on 2.5" swamp monsters, your doctor has in all likelihood advised you to stop riding that way anyway.

i think it's a great concept, and with my long arms am easily able to put my bike on the rack, however my girlfriend has some trouble with it. overall, i would highly recommend this to anyone.

Great addition to any bikers apartment. My mountain bike is much happier mounted on my wall during the off season.
NOTE: Make sure to also buy the davinci tire tray with this.

Works great hanging a almost any bike from the wall. It wont hang anything with fat tires on it, also dont hang it to high because when you do this the tires will roll down a little and get caught up in the spokes. So pay attention when you take the bike off the rack or you could damage your spokes.

The Delta Leonardo bike rack was delivered fast, went up fast, and it works. BTW, it looks good too, just like the picture.

This bike hook has been great. It was very easy to install (2 screws) with the help of a stud finder. It holds the bikes securely and neatly to the wall of our apartment. My bike weighs in at about 25 pounds, and the product has not warped or changed in any way. We also get lots of complements from friends about how nice the product looks.

Bought four of these (2 mountain, 2 road). Fits the road great, but not the mountain. I have had to deflate the mountain bike tires to get them to fit. Very misleading on the part of the manufacturer.
