Review on CyclingDeal 2-4 Bike Bicycle Vertical Hanger Parking Rack Gravity Floor Storage Stand For Garages Or Apartments by Carl Higdem

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well enough in my review

I've had this about a year, and it does what it says on the box. I keep a 30 lb cross bike on the top hooks and nearly 40 lb cargo bike on the bottom, and it's been fine. Assembly was easy, about Ikea-level, but 1) like other reviews say, pay very close attention to which length bolt you're using, and 2) if I'd had to use the included hand tools to turn those bolts instead of having an electric drill, I'd have been very, very sad.The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the construction. You've got a big pole, and you've got two legs, and there's a bracket connecting them. The problem, for me, is that the bracket is just welded to the legs instead of being made from one piece of metal. If they'd made the legs and bracket from a single piece, this thing would be indestructible. As it is, you've got 70-odd pounds of bike cranking a 7-foot lever against that little half inch weld. Just day after day, cranking and cranking and cranking. I honestly haven't had any problems, but I cringe every time I bump into it and those bikes start swaying. Crank, crank, crank.In the end, even though this stand has been nothing but perfect for me, I wish I'd spent a couple bucks more and gotten something sturdier. But if your budget is tight, this is still a good purchase.

Pros
  • Provides a stable and secure storage option
Cons
  • May be difficult to clean between bikes
