It's a wall of beauty! No additional art needed here. Just be sure the bikes are balanced between the two arms. I don't have the heavy duty one like you have, and once one of my mixtes had more of the weight on the right hook. CRASH. What was that? No harm to the bike. Roberta On

Very nice. I was all ready to place an order for a Workcycles Kr8 a few years back when a brand new Bombadil in my size for 40% off appeared on the Rivendell website. I still want one but need to thin the herd instead. Apologies for the threadjacking. Laing On Monday, January 3, 2022 at

A great way to store all the bikes in the world would be to never need to store them in the first place, yes ? They only appear, manifest, "on demand", as the need arises or called upon. Laugh as any may, it's apparent to me this is already happening as I speak, that the entire "world" as I/we

I use the old trek/bontrager version of the Saris cycle glide system ( https://www.saris.com/product/cycleglidestorage-system ) I like it because you can "compact" your bikes together regardless of handlebar width. Each rack will hold 4 bikes or up to 8 in s pinch (holding only by one

Leah, What is especially exiting to me is that everyone in your family has a Riv or two--or three :) --and they all get ridden. A lot. I have two nearly perfect Rivs, even though I'd be happy with just one perfect bike. You were the one who said to me "what will you do when your Riv is in

FWIW, since the video mentioned a 2.5" size limit the standard Delta hook size (non-fatbike) takes the 70 mm wide -- actual -- tires on the monocog, though it's squeeze. The rubber padding does get torn; I replaced it with ~6" sections of garden hose, which works well. On Sat, Jan 1, 2022 at

+ 1 for hooks on the wall. properly spaced. I've used J hooks, but switched to bike-specific hooks on plates that screw to a solid ~2" X 12" plank bolted to the studs. The heavy plank lets me mount the hooks securely and far enough to match bar width. I have my 5 hooks spaced so that all bikes

Thanks again! I think I’m set on this idea…however, I discovered there is a “rugged” version that might be worth paying a little more for. It’s here, but you can get from other stores for considerably less money than the manufacturer’s website:

Hi Leah, I use a DIY version of the same style of system. I just installed several coated hooks in the studs. It works well for me in my half-car garage. I think it's a pretty efficient use of space. I staggered the height of the hooks so that the handlebars don't hit each other, and I can hang
