Stand Vertical Bike Rack

I got one of these, then got a second one. My 14-year-old son put both of them together in about 5 minutes. They are not sturdy enough to be anyplace where people will be walking around them a lot. The cat won't go near them, so I trust his spidey-sense. But they do hold my 2 mountain bikes upright, saving tons of floor space in the basement. Once it gets too cold to ride I might turn them with the wheels by the wall. The velcro strap included is much too short to hold the wheel, but I already had longer straps for that. The strap is kind of nice so I'll keep it for other uses. I also put a gear tie on each to help hold the seat post to the cradle, one of those mylar-coated ones that stay in place when you bend them around something. I would recommend this rack as long as you have a clear place for them.

Pros: - does the job. - easy and quick to assemble, easy to make adjustments where required. Cons: - point 1 of the photo, the strap provided, 30cm, is too short and unusable. Had to look for a strap which should be double the length and a bit thicker in width. - point 2 of the photo, the back light had to be removed. - a week later, the red plastic part holding the fork of the bike is already damaged, due to the weight pressure. Resolved by wrapping it with a tennis grip. - can be more sturdy (road bike 9kgs in weight), it doesn’t snuggle the back wheel (28mm) as I like it to be. Overall: I am satisfied with the product, good value for the money. It should be better once there is a longer and thicker strap for the front wheel. Using a door stop on front wheel prevents the wheel from touching the wall. The red plastic part holding the bike's fork can be a more lasting quality.

I bought an expensive new bike and wanted to keep it in my apartment so it or components wouldn't be stolen. I live in a nice building in a great neighborhood but people still steal stuff given the opportunity. I looked at several other stands and read the reviews. I thought this would be just fine for my 20 lbs. gravel bike. Plenty sturdy, easy to assemble, easy to use. The hook and loop strips that came with it worked just fine to hold my front wheel in place and I put the other one around the stands post and my bike to secure it more in case someone walks into it. Could I have spent more and gotten a sturdier stand? Sure. Did I need to? Nope. The only other thing I can say about it is that my mountain bike which is a tank may not fit on this stand. But I don't know because I didn't try it. This is a great stand for the money.

I bought this used and it doesn't work. It came with parts that look different from the images. Its also missing a screw, a rubber cap, velcrow and no allen wrench for assembly. The thing just topples over. Not cool

I bought this vertical bike stand to free up space in my dorm room, and it is useful for that purpose. The assembly was simple and easy. However, the quality of this bike stand is reflected in its price, which is lower than many other models on the market. The stand itself is very unstable, and if I don't fasten the velcro tightly, my bike will fall right off. When I am putting my bike on it or taking my bike off it, the whole stand shakes around. Sometimes parts of it will get caught on my bike fenders, and even after unfastening the velcro, I'll accidentally lift the whole stand into the air when trying to get my bike off. To secure your bike to the stand, you must lift it vertically, line it up exactly with the vertical brace, and then fasten the velcro, which requires some strength if you have a heavier bike. The way I partially solved the problem of the stand being unstable was to make the extendable rods that stick out on the sides as long as possible, and then wedge each rod underneath another piece of furniture. In my room, the stand is right between a couch and a side table, so that I can't actually shake/move the stand around too much when storing/removing my bike because the stand itself is "stuck" underneath the furniture and closer to the ground. This stand does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is a good investment for the price if you don't mind compromising on its stability and the extra effort required to use it. However, if you're not confident in your upper body strength or if you are looking for a stand that is effortless to load, then you should buy something else.

Works very well when you don’t want to hang anything on the ceiling or walls. A real space saver.

Got this Sunday. Put together in about 5-7 minutes. There were two extra short screws and washers. Not sure why they even sent them. Many people complained about not being able to assemble this that they started sending assembly instructions in the package. There is a video in the description on Amazon, but the company clearly reads these reviews. For those people, the instructions are included and needed. Otherwise, it’s easy to assemble. When the weather changes (upstate NY) and I put my bike up in my little storage space, I’ll know how sturdy it is. I can tell it will support my bike. No regrets purchasing
