(Pedal) bike wall mount
(Pedal) bike wall mount
As I'm nearing the end of the garage sort out I need to get a couple of these for mine and the Mrs' bikes. Looking at something where the back wheel rests on the ground and the bike is vertical against the wall, with the front 'clipped in'.
Something like this:
The thing is that I'm conscious that both are bikes are cheap, old and HEAVY and I want something that'll be easy for her to use, and not need 2 people to operate (one to hold and one to operate the clip)
Any recommendations?

Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
I was looking for some recently for my shed / office project. Think I will be getting a few of these as they let you 'fold' the bike against the wall therefore less protrusion into the room space. https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Feedba ... -Rack/A32G
Your opinion is very important for me. Thank you please.
Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
It's not a direct recommendation but years back I made use of a little space by the understairs cupboard and opposite wall by installing long bolts into the biggest wall anchors I could find and running a length of chain between them. This was a masterstroke - strong as an ox (I tested it by hanging off it myself) and a great way to hang bikes, jackets, kit bags and all that good stuff. Not sure if it works in your setup but just a thought.
Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
I got some, but abandoned them quickly. it doesn’t really save much space compared to just leaning then against the wall + you hear all sorts of issues with hydraulic brakes not liking being stored upside down.
Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
Jez - thanks - those I'm worried about though as you have to man-handle the bike into the hook. Really easy to use for her is what I'm after - also, the space (just on the wall behind the garage door) doesn't lend itself well to swinging bikes left and right.
JL - Again, I don't think it'll be easy to lift a bike onto a solution like that. Nice idea tho.
Rich and Dinny - these are old bikes without all that new fangled technology
Just found these which could be a go-er:
Not cheap at @£55 ea, and has unnecessary (for me) swinging possible, but seems to tick the other boxes.

Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
I have a 5 bike rack (we have 10 bikes in total) and it definitely saves a lot of room in the garage but I’m the only one who can put bikes on or off it in the family, so definitely doesn’t meet your criteria. I can do it single handedly, though.
I got mine from Decathlon. I can’t find it on their site now so it looks like they’ve stopped doing it.

Have you considered the bike version of this?
You just need to solve the well-known chronic flooding issues.

Pulley lift another option?
Like this. Pulley provides 2:1 ratio so yer missus needs to lift 1/2 the bike weight.

Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
I had thought about some sort of pulley. Thing is that the handlebars on the bikes are wider than the spacing between the roof ties, so I couldn't get them through there. One option would be to put them through 'upside down' so the handlebars just sit proud of the joists, but that's a massive faff. Imagine getting the bikes into that position in the first place!

Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
Park bike by leaning against wall. Seems to take up less space than in image 1.
How about not having a sig at all?

Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
I have a couple of hooks on the rafters in my garage. But only I can get my bike up there, and everyone bangs their heads on it. So now I just lean it against some shelving.

Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
I bought an Ibera bike mount as I wanted to get one of the bikes up higher and off the ground so I could still put stuff underneath it. I had thought about the vertical hooks or hooks on the roof but none really worked with the space we had. The Ibera one works well and has been rock solid, so worth considering.

Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
I’ve tried loads of different ones. The best I’ve found in terms of simplicity, ease of use and quality are the Delta wheel mount ones. They’ll take a huge variety of bikes and wheels, from a deep aero road rim, kid’s bikes and wide mountain bike wheels.
Re: (Pedal) bike wall mount
Have had no issues with hydraulic brakes, at all. They save loads of space too. I can still fit a car in the garage of the pic above as the car fits beneath them.
We've currently got 15 bikes in the house, if you leaned them all against a wall it would be a nightmare getting out the one you wanted, plus they'd undoubtedly get damaged if just leant in a huge pile.

Get a stronger missus.
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Get a carbon framed bike and just lift it with one hand onto the rafters. Ov9ics.
