Review on 🚲 Gravity Bike Stand Bicycle Rack Storage or Display by RAD Cycle - Holds Two Bicycles, Supports up to 125 lbs. No Tools Needed by Sidewinders Murphy

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor design, shorter than advertised

The metal X in the tube that should hold the stand straight is too thin and the two pieces aren't welded together in the middle so it flexes when weight is on applied to the stand, resulting in unacceptable forward lean. Using the included wall screw can fix this situation, but you definitely want it to go in the stud rather than using a drywall anchor! He's also not 79 inches tall. The vertical tube rises to nearly 78 inches, which isn't far. However, due to the position of the adjustable armholes, the upper arms are almost 2 inches lower than the same rack I already have from another brand. This means I can't hang two bikes on this stand without them overlapping. If you have smaller bikes this may not be a problem, but it will NOT fit two larger bikes. It also arrived quite scratched because there are no seals around the metal parts so they just rattle against each other during transport. And finally, there is no cover for the hooks to which the bikes are attached. Beware of scratches!

Pros
  • I'm crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
