The boast is the el cheapo wallmounts from takeshit.com

 

Perfect for granny flat bike storage [emoji108]

 

I am keen to get these too, do you think they will hold in a dry wall scenario?

Depends on if you can mount it to a support beam maybe , drywall alone probably not going to support the weight of a bike against a single mount point.

 

I had my wall mount pull out of brick and it was rather for 15kg and was hanging a 12kg bike. After that I replaced it with roll bolts

Only if you locate it/them on a stud In the wall....obviously.

Otherwise you’ll probably find that sweet carbon road bike of yours on the floor when you come home one day...with a hole in your cardboard wall to match.

It will hold if the drywall is in good condition and you use the correct hollow wall anchors.

 

They mount tvs in hospitals on drywall amd ceilings with hollow wall anchors.

 

But a stud will be even better.

I prefer to play it safe. Those anchors I posted butterfly behind the drywall with about a 30mm flanged star pattern. They will not pull out unless you excert a lot of force on them amd break away a chunk of wall.

That kind of reminds me of people using a hammer and nails to hang stuff in plastered Walls????

You mean the opposite of people who use saddle bags, Camelbaks and 4 energy bars for a coffee ride. Sometimes all you need is a 1 bottle

Reckon you could also use these:

You’ve been given a few options and you also get drywall plugs which you could use to anchor a nice piece of timber and then screw the bike mount to that - apart from a butterfly mechanism I wouldn’t mount the holder to a dry wall - you can only get away with your TV method so many times

If you fasten to the studs you'll be fine. Typical drywall has studs running vertically on 450 - 600mm centres (depending on the building code used).

 

You could also fasten to the knogging (fire blocks) if your wall has them.

 

 

However it may depend on what type of framing your wall has. If it's steel framed, I'm not too sure how the flanges of the channel will hold up under load, as they're usually pretty flimsy.

 

Best bet, borrow a stud finder (or even a strong magnet), find the framing. Poke a sole in to investigate.

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to post such a helpful reply. It’s appreciated.

Just remember if you’re renting there on the mud island, check your lease agreement, landlords are normally not happy if you put holes in their drywall!

Only problem is if you look at your diagram, the bike would be off centre - sometimes the studs are annoyingly in the wrong place - strong magnet top tip - what stud finder do you use? - my Bosch one is wildly inaccurate to the point where I’m now a dry wall repair expert and groan everytime I’m asked to hang something Edited October 1, 2020 by Waynemol

If your studs are not ideally located.......

 

1st prize is being able to cut open a section of drywall, fit a lekker section of timber or MDF between the studs and then replace the drywall, make good and paint.

 

IF the studs are galv. steel you can use the same method. We have fitted a couple of floating shelves, moerse TV's , etc using this system.

 

If you can, those butterfly type fixings are the best.

 

Also remember that once your TV is fitted you rarely move or touch it. With the bike you will constantly be removing and replacing the bike and this would put stress on whatever fixings you use.
