Used this product to hang two adult bikes horizontally on garage wall. Used 3 long wood screws into stud to mount the holder on finished garage wall. shelf worked well for two helmets. Got the bikes off the ground and was able to pull another car into the gargage. Would recommend.

Easy to install, just two screws (must hit a stud). Got two of my bikes off the floor so I could store two more underneath them. Excellent space saver.

Racor Pro Single Folding Bike Rack #PSB-1R

Exactly as advertised. Great wall rack. Perfect for most types of bikes, but I wouldn't take my chances on a really heavy bike since their is no reinforcement arm...just the two screws that hold the bracket to the wall. Perfect for lighter bikes, and kids bikes. I also like the ability to fold up out of the way when not in use.

I purchased two of these racks to hold four bikes. Since each bike is for a different member of the family, they are all different sizes (20", 17.5", 15.5" & 13.5") and types (Mountain & Racing). One problem is that the space between slots for the two bikes is too small. That in combination with the different sizes and configurations of the frames makes it impossible to line up two bikes. I tried every combination and was unable to get two sets if handlebars, wheels, pedals, etc. fit consistently. Also, the small spacing causes the bikes to rub together a bit too much for my taste.

I have three of these racks in addition to several others from different makers. While I do use these, I only put one bike each on them and they're just not ideal for my purposes.

First, I find that the "hump" in the holder, where you would typically put the first bike, is too far from the wall. All my bikes are drop-bar road bikes and if I put the bike here the wheel turns about 45 degrees from the wall and causes the wheel to stick out. I've personally addressed this by putting some padding over the "shelf" area of the rack and sliding my bike all the way in against the wall.

As far as putting two bikes... with the first bike mounted all the way in as I've described above, I could mount two bikes. With the first bike mounted where it's "supposed" to go I cannot. First is the turned front wheel issue. Second, is the fact the bikes are too close together and end up touching.

In summary, the rack isn't ideal for holding one or two bikes. I will concede that most racks of this kind aren't really suitable for holding two bikes without crowding, but the distance from the wall problem is worse than the other brands I own.

This is a great bike mount, but the manufacturer fails to mention that it is not compatible with most mountain and women's bikes.

When mounting two bikes, the second bike needs to go on facing the opposite direction as the first bike, otherwise the handlebars hit. A similar problem occurs with mountain or women's bikes because the top tube on such bikes is slanted downwards to the seat tube. This places the back wheel directly over the handlebar of the bike mounted on the inside station.

The manufacturer could have solved this by dropping one of the arms on the inside or outside station down 2"-3", but apparently they underestimated the popularity of mountain bikes and the prevalence of women who ride bikes.

Great item for anyone with bicycles who want them
out of the way but instantly at hand.
Great space saver, easy to install and a fantastic
price!

I had this rack for just about a month before returning it.

I had it fixed into a brick wall - so had to buy new anchors because the ones that come with it are puny. Even with the new anchors it came off of my wall in a couple of weeks (had 2 bikes on it). The holes in the rack aren't really big enough to hold anchors much bigger, so I don't know what you'd do....

In terms of fitting bikes on it - I had 2 on it, but the outside one wouldn't sit properly, it sat with the front slightly raised and off the arms because I just couldn't get enough clearance.....pedals would get in the way, or handlebars resting on seats. I got enough for them both to sit there, just not quite 100% flat on the arms.

Then there's the arms.....they come coated in a nice rubbarized(?) black plastic. Within a week it had started splitting and by the end of the month it had completely came off one of the arms and was shredded on the other. That was the final straw, so I returned it.

This rack works well for two bikes. The included mounting screws suck however, use better ones.

my bike was within the listed weight limits of the rack, and it broke under the weight of my bike.

Buyer beware.
