Bike hanging racks - without drilling in the wall

[Bhitucyclist]

Hi all ,
Need recos and ideas about how i can store my 2 bikes- takes up floor space on my corridor - but i have plaster walls so cant fix hooks to hang them from. Discovered this standing rack. Reviews say its suitable - but has anyone here used these devices or has any other ideas? I think both my bikes are ladies bikes

Not sure on the rack,Id imagine it will also need some kind of fixing.
If you use the following,you could hang them how you like,hooks if you have the room.

The 6mm should be fine rather than the 10 mm

You can also find where the studs behind the plasterboard are and attach the hooks there

I dont want to drill holes on the wall - i have plaster walls and hence not strong enough to hold any weight

What kind of studs ?

I had one of those, and it was pretty flimsy and wobbly with just a road bike on top and an XC bike on the bottom: both of those were well within the max loading. I sent it back the following day and exchanged for it the tougher version with all it's box section loveliness...

I've got two of them now and all four of my bikes take up the footprint of just 2

You don't need to drill the walls it just leans against it, hence it being called a gravity stand

I have two large hooks in the CEILING and lift the bike on to them and out the way if that's an option?

As said above, the one you posted originally is quite weak and for the money isn't the best value. I'm surprised they still sell/make it .

I've bought my first beefier version about 10 years ago (and the other around 7 years ago), and they've both been perfect. They are sturdy when loaded up, and easy to adjust should you need to. It has wide rubbery pads where it contacts the frame so there's no point loading and no scratch damage either.

If I needed another, I get the same again

How would they cope with the sloping top bar of a MTB & what is the full height needed?

Has it got any height adjustment?

The support arms are adjustable. I've got an XC and an Enduro on one stand with no problems encountered.

Yes I am, very much so. Having four bikes in a 2 bed room flat all stored safely and without compromising the use of the rooms, pretty much says it all

The grey and red colourway isn't to my liking, but I've done nothing bout it in the time I've owned them.. One day though..........................
