Vleisie_ZA Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Hi everyone, I'm looking for a good storage solution for 4-5 bikes down 1 side of a garage wall, whilst taking up as little space as possible. The 2 products I've investigate so far ar as follows: * Wille Honde Bicycle Wall Mount Bracket This solution seems like it'll work nice for bicycles that will be placed high up close to the ceiling, as the bike will protrude furthest at the top. However, I'm scared that the handle bars of bikes positioned lower down might interfere with opening the car doors. * Steadyrack This seems like the best solution overall. However, the price point is definitely a big negative Is there any other alternatives similar to the steadyrack at a more reasonable price point? Or could you recommend any other solutions that I've not yet considered. For example, ceiling hooks etc?
lechatnoir Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Steady rack looks neat. I made something like that out of pine bits for a flat i lived in. To be fair, it wasn't siwveling like this, but that's doable with a few parts from Gelmar. Won't look as refined as Steadyrack, but a fair bit cheaper Zebra 1

However, I'm scared that the handle bars of bikes positioned lower down might interfere with opening the car doors. I did a simple design based on the mounting philosophy of the Wille Honde brackets and had it lasercut out of Stainless Steel by a friend. Works very well for my setup, but I only have two bikes to stress about. Staggering the bikes High and Low is workable in your situation, but I'm not too sure of the schlep to get to a High mounted bike if the lower ones are still on the wall. I think your garage layout might push you into a certain direction.
PhilipV Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 I've been using one of these to hang 4 bikes for many years. https://www.holdfast.co.za/product/vertical-wall-hangers

Steady Spin Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Bought a two pack of Steadyracks and I’m well impressed. Super well made and will hold up the two xc bikes Pricey yes but eBucks covered the costs so no complaints there.

A little expensive at R500 for a 2 pack but quick and easy installation and they look cool too.

RookieSports.co.za Posted September 19, 2022 Posted September 19, 2022 We currently have the Fluir Lion Horizontal Wall mount at a clearance price. This works similar to the Wille Honde mount but comes with two wheel supports (you don't have to use both, but it is recommended). https://www.rookiesports.co.za/product/fluir-lion-horizontal-bicycle-wall-mount/ Only R119 each. Sightly more expensive on Takealot - R169 https://www.takealot.com/fluir-lion-horizontal-bicycle-wall-mount/PLID91115246 ChrisF and Vetplant 2

Not sure about the weight? https://www.rookiesports.co.za/product/fluir-bicycle-storage-rack-ceiling-mounted/ what does the tandem weigh ? I see this one has a weight limit of 20kg. I've been using similar ones up until recently, but with my road bike, I think it will struggle on the upper end of the weight limit.
