And there can be quite a bit of variability in the maximum and minimum heights so that’s another thing to look for. Horizontal wall-mount models typically mount to the wall and hold the bike horizontally, parallel to it. These bike hangers usually have support arms with cradles that hold the bike by its frame. The bikes take up more horizontal space than a vertical orientation, although they typically only protrude as far into your space as the width of the bike's handlebar. Horizontal models are highly versatile and work with a wide range of bike styles and sizes, although complex mountain bike frames and oddly weighted bikes may present some fit issues. The PRO Bike Tool Bike Hanger is a quality horizontal wall-mount. The Delta Cycle Michelangelo has a creative design that holds two bikes horizontally and supports itself with the force of gravity and doesn't require drilling into your walls. Ceiling If you're looking for a wall mounted bike clamp, then you should avoid the DNC (also marketed as Clothink) mounts. Or any of the (many) look-alikes. They're just not strong enough to support a bicycle properly.

As all cycling enthusiasts know, the struggle to store your bikes safely and discreetly is often a genuine inconvenience due to limited storage space. So if you’re a weight watcher, who’s looking for a well made and reliable stand, I would say this is the one for you! Best Workbench and Wall Mounted Bike Stands The hoist is made of durable, weather-resistant materials, and the rope is made from a durable nylon rope with a 125-pound capacity to handle almost any bike. It also has a pulley system for easier lifting, and the rope is adjustable to fit any height. The hoist is easy to use and is a great way to store bikes and provide easy access when needed. I've been using the Topeak Dual-touch with three bike mounts for years. In a laundry room with extra vertical space I can just barely fit my wife's bike, my city bike, and my sons mountain bike. As he keeps growing, and his bike keeps getting bigger, I keep adjusting the mount for his bike. He's now up to a 24" wheel though and I've still managed to fit all three.Like all the repair stands at this price point, there are a lot of plastic parts (where more expensive stands use metal). And this raises questions about it’s durability over time. If you’re looking for a way to save space and easily store your bike, the RAD Sportz Bicycle Hoist is the perfect solution. Its adjustable rope and pulley system make it simple to lift and lower even the heaviest of bike models, from mountain bikes to road bikes, with minimal effort. Conclusion There is another way to look at efficiency though. Efficiency of space is one interpretation but efficiency of resources is another. Stated more simply, "what's the most affordable way to store a bike?" If that's your angle on efficiency there's really no better solution than a screw-in hook like the one we featured from Park Tool. It works, it's inexpensive, and it also makes pretty good use of space. How do you store expensive bikes? Secondly, it has a much higher bike weight limit of 100 lb (45 kg), which means that it will have no problems with even the heaviest of e-bikes and cruisers. Just make sure your workbench can handle that much weight!

And there's a lot of variation in the weight limits of different stands. So make sure the stand you choose can accommodate the weight of your bike. The main attraction of the Bike Hand stand has got to be the price: it’s about half the price of the competition! It uses the same clamp head as the Bike Hand YC-100BH floor stand (see above). But in this case it’s attached to a metal T bar with a square plate at the bottom, which you will need to bolt onto your work bench (bolts not included!). Create zones for different activities. For example, designate one area for bike-related items, another place for tools and supplies, and a third area for sports gear.

Which type of repair stand you choose and how much you spend, will very much depend on how you're going to use it. So let’s look at that first. Concrete anchor/ wedge. The easiest long-term fixing method for concrete is a standard concrete anchor like a Dyna bolt or a Trubolt that works like a self-tightening wedge. A wedge anchor has 4 parts, mainly the anchor body, expansion clip, nut, and washer. The anchor gets its name from how it remains “wedged” in concrete once fastened.
