🚲 Thule SportRack Bicycle Stand Review

This bike rack has proven to work perfectly. I assembled it in no time and it easily holds adult bikes and various children's bikes. No surprises, looks exactly like the picture and I'm a happy buyer. Easily recommended.

Now I have two such devices in the garage and they both work fine. One is two years old and shows very little, if any, wear. Instructions are good, takes about 10 minutes to set up, does the job. In my experience you won't find a better $$$ bike rack.

is a flimsy little thing. If you just want to lean your bikes against it, fine. Be prepared to get other screws, they are the wrong length. Although I received instructions. The lock is so weak that a person could probably cut it open with bolt cutters. Very light, the bolts can of course also be removed. And I searched the "Heavy Bike Rack" section, it's NOT HEAVY, looks like aluminum.

Easy to assemble although difficult to tighten all the screws enough that nothing moves during assembly. However, when it doesn't need to be moved much, it holds up great and the bikes fit in well. It can hold up to 6 bikes, but this requires you to place the rack away from the wall so the bikes can be placed on BOTH sides of the rack. Otherwise, if you place the rack against a wall, only 3 bikes will fit inside. I would recommend it as a fairly inexpensive storage stand.

The stand is quite suitable for my purposes. I live in a town with a small area that's easy to miss so this did a good job of keeping the bikes safe. However, I had to buy some new screws for this when it arrived as the pair that came with it didn't go through the bars and hold up. Otherwise, the whole thing was pretty easy to build and use. It can be built into the ground and I've seen others but haven't tried it yet.

Ah like other reviews say the screws are too long. I bought shorter screws (too short. I just got lucky) and now it sits on the wall in my garage with whatever spare washers I could find to fill in the gaps (I have photos but can't add them: The Gap is about a dime high and it took 7 washers to fill the extra space of each of the 8 screws). It's ok if you don't move it. We use it for 3 kids bikes and lean 3 scooters on it. For some reason the "guidelines" only list the rules for securely…
