RAD Cycle Aluminum Bike Stand Bicycle Rack Storage or Display Holds Two Bicycles

Took a chance on this because I thought there was probably another way to set it up than the demo picture shows. And there is! Hanging the bikes by their back wheel saves more space for us.Product seems really sturdy, and fairly easy to put up. My only concern is the plastic ceiling plate. It has thick foam pads at all 4 corners but not where the contact point of the frame is. So when tightened up, the plastic plate bows.

Bought this to mount my bike in my garage and it does the job fine and actually looks pretty good. However even when fully tightened, the small center piece that holds the two larger front pieces together doesn't do an amazing job and keeping them from wobbling. Kind of annoying but not enough that using it becomes a nuisance. The instructions aren't great but it's easy enough to assemble so I guess that's alright. Overall, I think it's good for its price but definitely not perfect. I would recommend this mount with the caveats mentioned above.

I bought this same bike rack YEARS ago. Not sure if it was the same company as now, but I really liked it then and I love it now.I had been searching for years for good vertical bike storage solutions as I don't have room anywhere for a horizontal storage option.Saw one other reviewer said they used it this way so I gave it a shot. SO HAPPY I DID!My one suggestion: don't assemble while listening to music or especially wearing headphones!! I did this and didn't hear the drywall in my ceiling crunching under the torque when I tightened it for the final tighten. It's ultimately ok as there is a support beam under it, so it just put a crack and indent in the ceiling, but if you didn't have a support beam or stud under that pressure, I imagine it would push right through the ceiling. It's definitely going to be a project to fix that someday, but I own my home and plan on this being here for a long time. If you rent though, or are trying different spots out for it, that damage to the ceiling could be significant!Apart from that, which is no reflection on the product, just my not realizing that could be an outcome of tightening it so strongly, the product is great. Looks sharp, does what it is meant to.And all you folks looking for ways to store vertically...this is it! I saw a post where the customer set up the hooks for the tire. I didn't feel like that was safe for my bike, as it was near impossible to get the hanging brackets set to a point where it wouldn't strain the spokes. So I put mine lower to grab the back frame bar. I feel much better doing this as that is a much stronger contact point, it isn't pulling on a front tire/fork or tweaking/potentially breaking spokes. Also as the back tire is locked into the frame, unlike the front tire, it's not going to twist as you lift it or as it's resting there.Good luck!

Bought this to use in the garage for 2 adult bicycles. Installation was OK, only issue was making sure I found a rafter to anchor to at the top. The foot at the bottom does a good job of not slipping. Only issue is as described in other reviews - it's not very sturdy and wobbles once you get the bikes on it. This hasn't been an issue yet but definitely something to be aware of. It makes sense given the frame is aluminum. It would have to be iron to not twist with weight on it, which would be impractical. I would buy this bike rack again.

I have attempted to assemble this three separate times after losing patience. The screws are not the right size and it is very flimsy. I am unable to use this and unable to return since it took so stinking long to assemble. Do not buy this product. He will be disappointed.

First off, the rack functions like it should and is relatively sturdy. However, this rack was one of the most difficult things to put together that I've ever encountered - and I consider myself to be a fairly handy person. There were three main issues that make assembly a nightmare. 1) the screws are practically the exact length they need to be *after tightening*, and since you have to have things *loosely* screwed together to slide the parts together, you have to delicately balance tiny parts screwed in just enough not to fall off, but no tighter. 2) Even when screws were as loose as possible, things did not slide easily. And by that, I mean that I literally had to use a hammer to get pieces to slide together. Pro tip: if you don't already have a rubber mallet, get one before putting together this monstrosity. And 3) the little arms that hold the bikes are covered in rubber to prevent damage. Cool, right? not so cool when the thickness of the rubber isn't taken into account when determining screw length. The only way to get one of the arms on was to scrape the rubber coating off of part of the arm with a knife. I ended up only getting one arm to even slide on, so my bike is hanging vertically (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). On the plus side, this makes me less nervous that the arm will suddenly slip down and my bike will crash (because again, I had to use a hammer to get the damn thing to slide in). Overall it took me an hour and a half and much cursing to get the rod into place and one arm on.

Used to store bikes in my garage. I'd leave my heavier ebike on the bottom so the weight was absorbed by the ground and the stand was just helping to hold it upright and level. I'd put my lighter road bike on the top rack.Slightly wobbly no matter how much I adjusted it, but my bikes held and never fell.

I just installed two RAD Cycle Aluminum racks, and boy, do they made a difference.I love them! Easy to install and adjust for each bicycle. We keep five bikes in our garage to ride with our grandkids when they visit. These bicycle racks look amazing and keep all our bikes organized.
