Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I have 5 bikes that I want to fit into a space 78 inches wide, and about 9 feet tall. I've been looking at all types of racks for over a year, and almost none of them will work for many reasons. Steadyrack is the only thing I've found that will do the job. The primary feature that lets you pack bikes in tightly is the entire system allows the bike to pivot so it does not have to be perpendicular (90 degrees) to the wall. The instructions are minimal. I recommend going on YouTube for the manufacturer's installation video. In the pack you are provided 4 lag bolts for installing in studs, and 4 companion anchors if you are installing into masonry. The hardest part is planning your installation. In a limited space, I can almost guarantee you will not find a stud where you want to put at least one of the bikes. Rather than try to gin up some sort of board that bolt into the studs, which is messy and will look terrible, go to your hardware store and use expandable metal anchors, which will hold up to 80 pounds each. You put four of them in the wall to fasten the Steadyrack, and it will more than hold the rack & bike, especially since the Steadyrack is only rated for up to 110 pounds. The rack itself is attractive, it folds up when you're not using it, the "beak-like" lip in front catches the wheel and lets you push it easily into the rack, and the front wheel is locked in. So how did I get 5 bikes on the wall in such a tight space? Put the widest, tallest bike in the center of the wall, about 2 inches off the ground. Put a bike on either side as wide as you can fit, and raise them 3 inches up, that way the handlebars clear each other. Then the two last bikes are between the center bike and the adjacent bikes, placed about 30 inches off the ground. To get higher bikes in and out, you pivot the lower bikes out of the way.
