I am very pleased with the product. It appears to be well constructed. I currently have my 24lb. bike on it and it seems like it will hold a second bike with no problem. The shelf is very practical with enough space for my gloves and helmet. There's not much more to say about. It's a pretty simple and straightforward piece. I would definitely consider purchasing another Racor product.

A solid and well-made product that looks better than many other plastic-coated steel products (an ugly product category overall). It holds my bike further out from the wall than I would like (about one and a half inches) but I can see that they need to allow for all kinds of handlebars.

The instructions were inadequate. For example there are two plastic inserts and there were no instructions about these at all. I figured where they go but why should I have to bother? There was also vagueness about how many of the screw holes should actually be used and the instructions assumed that it would be attached to a plasterboard wall and had no advice about attaching to a masonry wall. Racor is far from being alone in providing inadequate instructions but it is annoying and pretty easy to fix.

This bike rack is excellent. It was very easy to install, and holds two bikes with no problem at all. I'm amazed at how strong it is. It's a real space saver in our apartment and is elegant and simple looking. One word of caution: the hardware that comes with the installation kit is pretty flimsy. I tried installing the bolts using the plastic tool and wall anchor, and both times it snapped right off allowing the wall anchor to pop out. Also, the screw that attaches the rack to the mounting component was totally wrong - looked like a wood screw with a pointed end, and was too small in diameter. I ended up making a trip to the hardware store for regular hardware and that worked fine. The installation process itself is very straightforward and easy. I still can't recommend this rack enough; I'd recommend it to anyone.

Works great with 2 road bike. I put pipe padding from Home Depot on the bars for extra protection from scratching frames. My Look 585 is my baby. 4 stars for the higher price. If it was under $35 I'd give it a five stars for value.

Easy to install. Holds two heavy bikes in a small space. What's not to like.

Great product for all bikes. Perfect for one but will hold 2. Rack allows fast drying of helmet and gloves. Could not figure out the hangers and how they fit on the rack but overall nice product.

Finally got my four bikes up off the garage floor. Racks work great and are very sturdy. Installed them one side into the wall stud and used the molly bolts for the drywall. Perfect solution to bikes leaning against the wall and not staying put. Glad to have them!

Easy to install, holds 2 bikes. I have a hybrid (heavy) and a road bike (not heavy). Seems to support both OK. I like it. Minimal space requirements, too.
