Relaxdays Pedal to Wall Bracket for Bike Bicycle Metal Wall Bracket Wall Mounted Holder for Hanging Up Bicycle Wall Storage, Red

Product Information

Wall protection: Your bicycle is not the only item that needs protection. If you are hanging your bike vertically, you will want some sort of guard to prevent the second tire from resting directly on your wall. If you are asking about storing expensive bikes you are clearly worried about damaging your pride and joy. We understand nice bikes with nice wheels, and just how annoying a scratch can be.

A. Although some claim that hanging a bike by the tires puts too much stress on the rims, riders who store their bicycles in this manner typically report no problems. Because bicycle wheels are designed to withstand bumps in the road while bearing the full weight of a rider, it seems unlikely that this method of storage could harm your bicycle. Wall mounts are, of course, one option, and these can be vertical or horizontal and come in different styles depending on your needs. Super wide handlebars: MTB Enduro bikes or beach cruisers come with super wide bars but none of them will be too wide for DaBigRing. If you have a large enough closet (and few enough clothes), you could move your clothing to a wardrobe or chest of drawers and mount your bike on a closet wall. If you want efficiency, that's all about getting the bikes up off the floor and getting them as close together as possible, often top and tailing them so the handlebars don't clash. This is the best way to store your bike in a limited space.Tire size: Some vertical bicycle wall mounts may not be suitable for a big knobby tire. If you do a lot of off-road riding and your tires are larger than a typical street bike, be sure they will fit in your chosen wall mount unit. I've been using the Topeak Dual-touch with three bike mounts for years. In a laundry room with extra vertical space I can just barely fit my wife's bike, my city bike, and my sons mountain bike. As he keeps growing, and his bike keeps getting bigger, I keep adjusting the mount for his bike. He's now up to a 24" wheel though and I've still managed to fit all three. The right bike wall mount can completely transform a space. Whether you need to free up some valuable square footage in your garage or need somewhere to store your bike in your downtown apartment, these bike wall mounts are sure to impress. From simple vertical hooks to decorative horizontal hangers, there is a wall mount on here that is sure to work for you and your individual space. Large: The newer style of platform pedals like the Syntace No.9, RaceFace Atlas and even some power meter pedals with encased external bearings needed a bigger gap. The large toe gap of 31mm will fit this new generation of pedals and we will keep improving on this if necessary.

The location where you want to hang your bike is very important to deciding about the type of hanger. Are you planning on hanging it inside a bedroom, apartment, or gym? Are you planning on hanging it in a garage or shed? Are you planning on hanging it in an entryway? How much space does your bike take up? Do you have enough wall space? Answering these questions will help you narrow down what type of hanger is best for you. Actually, that's not totally true. You can configure the Bike Rac in whatever way you want. Each of the arms is able to rotate and face either up or down plus the whole unit will slide closer or farther from the wall or rotate. If you need to account for sloped tope tubes, no problem. If you want a little bit of stability though, it's possible to have one arm up and one arm down. I wouldn't try to put a lot of pressure on the bike but it's quite a bit more stable than just hanging there. I tend to be lazy about pulling out a work stand and this should be a great option for things like adjusting shifting and or even getting a saddle just right.Horizontal wall-mount models typically mount to the wall and hold the bike horizontally, parallel to it. These bike hangers usually have support arms with cradles that hold the bike by its frame. The bikes take up more horizontal space than a vertical orientation, although they typically only protrude as far into your space as the width of the bike's handlebar. Horizontal models are highly versatile and work with a wide range of bike styles and sizes, although complex mountain bike frames and oddly weighted bikes may present some fit issues. The PRO Bike Tool Bike Hanger is a quality horizontal wall-mount. The Delta Cycle Michelangelo has a creative design that holds two bikes horizontally and supports itself with the force of gravity and doesn't require drilling into your walls. Ceiling Hanging a bicycle vertically with the wheels perpendicular to the wall, especially in a corner, takes up the least amount of space. An often-overlooked place to mount your bicycle is on the wall behind a larger piece of furniture, such as a couch. No, wall mounts are not bad for bikes. Some worry that because, in many wall mount styles, the bike is hanging on its wheels, it is bad for the bike, but the mount will not damage the bicycle or its tyres.

There are lots of different options out there for storing bikes at home, and which one is right for you depends on where you want to store your bike, how much space you have, and how you want to access your bike. Picture the scene. You’ve found the brand new bike you want, and you’ve finally saved up enough to buy it. You can’t wait to get on the saddle and ride around the city, spice up your commute on two wheels, go on weekend adventures or try out some gnarly mountain bike trails, but there’s one thing standing in your way: storage. There is still plenty of metal on bikes so if they're frequently exposed to rain, they're likely to corrode. At the very least, consider buying a rain cover for your bike, and if your budget, and space allow, opt for a heavy-duty secure shelter. A third option: There is a third option that is far less common. It’s a large metal frame placed high on your garage wall that holds your bike on its side like a shelf. It can be awkward to access and is far more expensive than most other bicycle wall mounts. The Delta Cycle Michelangelo Two Bike Gravity Stand is an upright bike stand with a unique design that supports itself with the force of gravity. It holds up to two bikes horizontally, one above the other, with adjustable support arms that work with a huge variety of bike styles and frame shapes. The support arms are easily adjustable, and the cradles are coated with non-marking rubber to protect your bike frames. It also comes with two small accessory hooks to hold a helmet or other gear. The Michelangelo can fit against any vertical wall with 84 inches of height clearance and does not require drilling holes into your wall (it comes with a support strap that can be attached to the wall if you choose). The rubber feet grip well on a variety of surfaces, including concrete, wood, tile, and even carpet, and it has a claimed weight limit of 80 lbs. We like its clean, modern design, which works as well in a home, apartment, or office as it does in a garage.The PRO Bike Tool Wall Hanger is a sturdy and effective horizontal wall-mount bike hanger. This quality option supports one bike with two adjustable support arms that will accommodate a wide range of bike frame shapes and sizes. Each arm has three positions of adjustment to help achieve the proper angle and weight distribution for your bike, with U-shaped rubber frame cradles that work well with various frame tube shapes and sizes. The main support mast also has four positions of horizontal adjustment for up to 15 inches of wall clearance for the handlebar. It comes with an elastic cord to keep your front wheel straight, and PRO Bike Tool claims it can handle bikes up to 48.5 lbs. While testing, we discovered that the Wall Hanger could also pull double duty as a work stand for light-duty maintenance and repairs. A. If you find oil spots under your car, it's not parking it in the driveway that’s causing those drips. You need to investigate where the leak is coming from and fix the problem. The same goes for your bicycle: if your seals are leaking, that is the problem, not your bike-storage method. Once you've determined the best way to hang your bicycle for your particular situation, there are a few other factors to consider. You can also get hoists for your bike, which is perfect if you want to store it in a roof space, but not so great if you use your bike regularly as it can be quite involved to get the bike up and down.

The best way to hang your bicycle is with a wall mount that utilizes two support points on the frame. FAQ Horizontal hangers typically take up more room. Ceilings are usually a minimum of 8 feet tall, giving you plenty of room for a vertical bike hanger. Horizontal hangers need more open wall space to function. But horizontal hangers are easier to operate in many cases. Measure your bike, measure your wall, and decide on what area you want to put your bike. That will help you visualize exactly what you need and what you are looking for. Style vs Convenience vs Storage The thing that connects all these different use cases is that it's incredibly secure. I wasn't joking about the cats. I've seen them slam into the bike chasing each other through the house and it doesn't move. I've also taken pictures in crazy wind and still knew the bike in the stand was secure. There is another way to look at efficiency though. Efficiency of space is one interpretation but efficiency of resources is another. Stated more simply, "what's the most affordable way to store a bike?" If that's your angle on efficiency there's really no better solution than a screw-in hook like the one we featured from Park Tool. It works, it's inexpensive, and it also makes pretty good use of space. How do you store expensive bikes? The good news is that you don’t have to let limited storage space get in the way of buying your flash new bike. If you’ve got a few metres of clear space on a sturdy wall in your home then you’ve got room to store your bike on a wall mount.Weight capacity: On average, bicycles can weigh from less than 20 pounds to more than 30 pounds. Be sure that the wall mount you’re considering is rated to support your bicycle's weight.
