Review on Heavy-Duty Bicycle Hoist Hanging Bike 🚲 Rack - Lifts up to 50 lbs by Erin Nguyen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works but needs improvement

This product works, but it can be greatly improved with a few simple steps. Any issues with this product appear to be due to cost-cutting efforts by the manufacturer. The pulleys are not wide enough for the frame, causing the cable to slip to the pulley. The rope has a very small diameter. Included in the packaging for each set are 12 screws and inserts, 10 full screws and 8 inserts that do not reach the holes in the frames and battens; You need to provide screws for the tip. You will also need to find a way to attach the end of the rope to the mechanism frame, you can use the holes cut in the frame itself but I used a corner screw. The built in locking mechanism does not always work properly and in order to use a larger rope (to overcome poor tolerances around the pulleys) it is necessary to drill out the locking eyelet unless you wish to use a locking mechanism. Mechanism. Like I said, bad design. An improvement would be wider wheels on each pulley and a larger eyelet on the locking mechanism, as well as a larger diameter cable. Photos with better lighting could have been used in the instructions, the details are not recognizable. Despite the shortcomings, this mechanism works. He lifts and stores the bike. Be careful in high humidity, drywall anchors may not be strong enough, which can cause the frame to slide off the ceiling and the bike to fall. Proper installation takes about 30-45 minutes.
