[bigup]

Hi all

im after a wall rack for my garage to hold a couple of bikes, one Adult road and other childs bike

i have been looking at these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Peruzzo-CYC..._sbs_sg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0MGEWTJRP4712W17ZSYJ

anyone got one and are they strong?

anything other recommendations for about the same price?

Thanks

I have a similar one from Halfords i bought last year.Just make sure you have a sturdy wall,brick and not breeze block and use either three inch screws or bolts.Other than that very secure.

Thanks mate, i as going to use Breeze Block but have a brick wall i can use, thanks for the heads up!

You may get away using breeze block for one bike but using two bikes takes the weight over to the edge and would most likely pull out of the wall.Either use a solid wall or even put a plywood board on the breeze wall first then hand the rack on that to spread the load.

I've got two similar, but without the hinge to make them fold.

Have had a couple of crashes in the middle of the night when the screws have come out, but once you've sorted out the correct fitting, they are very good.

Measure the distance you need from the ceiling for the bike with the longest seat post, otherwise you get lots of practice putting them up and taking them down!

thanks guys, i fitted it in the end, seems strong

but wasn't sure i fi was supposed to drill into the mortar or the brick itself

i drilled into the brick using the supplied screws and raw plugs

Drilling into brick is always the best way.Looks solid and out of the way.good job.

Looks good and plenty of room for the N+1

Cheers keith

You could always use those beams as well. They look strong enough to take some decent hooks.

This is my very basic set up having attempted to hang from the wall without success.
