This WALL MOUNT Bike Rack Surprised Me!!

[@subliminalfreedom]

That ramp is genius

[@bespey]

The ramp is the best part of the video

[@TheBikeSauce]

😆 I’ll take it

[@jazzfan7491]

Just watching you lift that bike makes my back hurt. The ramp is a great solution

[@bikebudha01]

I have 8 steady rack mounts, they are fantastic. I have no ramp, but it's still super easy to lift the bike up to the higher mounts.

[@TrentSiggard]

I just got these racks too & they're great!

[@hansonwang2121]

I love my steady racks! I have two of them and they are amazing to save space in my small garage.

[@BikeNorthSeattle]

1 - Love the ramp, great idea thanks for sharing it 2 - I have dedicated bike hooks, but with my 29+ bikepacking bike it's always a fight to get it onto the hook, between the fat 2.6in tires and wide 50mm jones rims. It works, but it's a pain in the butt. Will have to give one of these a try. I think this will work so much better.

[@TimR123]

One other thing that's nice about this design is that you can easily get the bikes closer to the wall. Just pivot them over and they don't stick out as far. We had some in the office and it was nice to not have all the bikes sticking out into the hallway so much. Load up and swing over.

[@JeremyCook]

The swivel is really a nice feature. I've got a similar DIY setup, but it doesn't have that function and it can get tight.

[@acidbath666]

I know you're prolly using the new racks, but quick tip for the rubber wearing off on the cheaper hooks, save your old bar tape for that. That's what I use mine for.

[@TheBikeSauce]

Dam good idea!

[@davidsnow5811]

These look more carbon-rim friendly than the usual hook solutions too. Beyond the 'scraping' issue of your homebrew setup, some products I've seen put the hook in a place where there's a lot of leverage placed on the rim.

[@bikecow]

I've been using Steady Racks for years and they are solid. I always worried the hook setup would damage/warp the rim in some way if left for too long, and Steady Rack fixes that.

[@JRmntain]

A lot less force than when you ride it.

[@BillSmithPerson]

Where do you put your other 8 bikes?

[@TheBikeSauce]

😆😆😆 oh you know.. here and there

[@nkantar]

The real video we all want to see… 😂

[@layspeed]

Yeah I looked at the steady rack but I've got way too many bikes. Went with a DIY sliding track with hooks instead. 10 bikes within a 10' wall space works well for me.

[@galenkehler]

If you're running proper 36cm handlebars on each bike, then you'd fit every one within 16" stud spacing without overlap 👍

[@brettk9265]

Obviously you've been hanging them from the front wheel for a while but any concerns with damaging the stanchions? Same argument for not using tailgate pads.

[@jimp65]

I was told recently from a bike shop that hanging your bike from the front wheel can allow air to migrate from the disc brake reservoir into the brake lines, I don’t know if this is possible, but it seams plausible. Any thoughts on this theory!

[@hansonwang2121]

It can happen but it’s only an issue if your brakes have a poor bleed in the first place and you continuously pull the brake levers when the bike is vertical.

[@TheBikeSauce]

Agreed. That Santa Cruz has been hanging for a year and brakes are fine. No change

[@markday1714]

is there a downside to hanging off the ceiling via the rear wheel?

[@TheBikeSauce]

Having to lift the bike 🤷‍♂️. And if your ceilings are higher up

[@millermiller75]

What happens when you get a new bike?

[@TheBikeSauce]

Stack it in the other side of the garage with the other nine 😆 Jk. If you’re referring to the height of the rack, any new bike I’d get with probably be about the same wheel base so it should fit just fine

[@polipop1113]

Does it work with fenders?

[@TimR123]

We had some at my office that worked with my fendered commuter... JUST. 🙂 I could hear the rack sliding on the inside of the fender. But I never saw any damage. The "ebike" version seems a better answer if you have fenders

[@TheBikeSauce]

The ebike rack does

[@davidcrowson4745]

⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@CharlieMetcalf]

Follow inatructions??? I never do that!

[@TheBikeSauce]

😀 trying to set a good example here

[@732002]

Not for PNW and fenders.

[@slowcyclist4324]

There are options for that. The aero bike version of the rack is designed to take fenders too
