4.0 out of 5 stars Some glitches, but works OK, January 3, 2007

I've had this stand for over a year now. Took about five minutes to get it together. Held my 26" mountain bike just fine. I recently bought a new 26" MTB with disc brakes. The good news is that the disc rotors 'just barely' clear the support arms on this stand. You do have to futz with the bike's position on the stand a bit or the bike will 'lean' slightly on the rotor, but it isn't that hard to make it work. The bad news is that the support arm pairs are too close together to allow two mountain bikes of the same frame size to coexist peacefully in the same orientation. With front wheels inserted into the frame the handlebars clash big time. It works better if one bike has the front wheel in the frame and the other the rear wheel. The handlebar of one bike will still contact the seat of the other bike, but a simple turn of the handlebar on the outward-facing bike fixes this. This stand was obviously designed for two road bikes side-by-side, not MTBs. It would probably also be OK with two bikes of different frame sizes. Other than that, though, it's plenty sturdy and works well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid and useful, August 6, 2003

This Racor unit is pretty much the same thing you'll see in bicycle shops. It's solidly made, and heavy enough to keep a pair of bikes standing upright.

Who needs it? Anyone with kids, I think. Getting kids to park their bikes somewhere that (1) you won't back over them with the car (2) you won't trip over them coming out of the house is always a struggle; just getting them to do something other than simply drop them on the ground where they got off can be a major task.

This stand makes that task just a little easier by providing a fixed place to stash the bikes with little or no effort. Place one on the back porch and one in the garage and you'll always know where the bikes are. Oh, and if you're an adult with a lot of bike riding friends, place one or two by your side door. Your friends will appreciate it!

1.0 out of 5 stars doesn't fit disc brakes, December 6, 2007

By

This review is from: Racor PBS-2R Two-Bike Floor Bike Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

Doesn't fit my 26 inch mountain bike. If I put the front tire in it hits the disc brake, If I put the back tire in it hits the derailleur. It looks like it is sturdy and would work well with other types of bikes, just wanted to let people with disc brakes know that they should pick a different stand.
