Review on StoreYourBoard Bike Storage Rack, Holds 5 Bicycles, Home And Garage Organizer, Adjustable Wall Hanger Mount by Robert Ogrodnik

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid bike rack, easy to install.

I was originally looking at the popular wall rack but reviews indicated it had issues, and the fatal flaw was the hooks were not securely in place and I needed the kids to be able to use it safely. I chanced the Omni instead, based on only a few available reviews. I'm glad I did, the construction of the Omni is solid, and they obviously paid close attention to the criticisms on that popular wall storage rack on ebay. The bike hooks are adjustable, but lock in solid with a pin, making it easy to hook in the bike even when you are navigating handlebars etc. Others fold and/or slide, and a wobbly hook makes the process harder. The pins slide fully through both ends of the bar locking the beefy hook bracket in place - no risk of the hook & bike coming free. And they send lag bolts to mount the brackets, so the thing feels pretty sturdy.Installation was initially quick. The only issue I had was what height to mount the rack and the instructions didn't help. I started at a bar height of 64" and tested one teen hybrid and one adult MTN and then finished the rack in about 15 minutes. When loading up the four bikes intended for the rack, one of the adult hybrids was too long (and that was the only outlier). I ended up raising the bar two more inches to 66" but was able to keep the rack assembled and just moved the bottom screw to the top hole placement - so I didn't need to re-level.I have four bikes (that's what I currently need) and they fit with the top tire up. How the bikes fit really depends on the bike frame size and handlebar style. I might be able to squeeze another in, or I might need to rear wheel first one or two to get the bikes comfortable.

Pros
  • Excellent purchase. Holds bikes really well
Cons
  • Installation may require drilling into the wall
