I recently purchased two new mountain bikes and needed an efficient way to store them due to a lack of floor space in my garage. My road bikes are kept on individual stands designed for servicing them and they take up way too much space. This unit looked promising, and surpassed all of my expectations. It is rock solid, well designed and can be placed against a wall. Mine holds 2 heavy mountain bikes and there is no chance this thing is going to fall over. The fact that all of the hooks can be moved independently allow for the ultimate in flexibility for top tube angles to that bikes can hang level. Awesome product!! I ordered the silver finish which looks great.
Make sure you follow the directions. If your stand is not structurally sound, then you did something wrong. I made a mistake that resulted in lack of stability and then corrected it. Now the stand is perfect.

Ursprünglich hatte ich vorgesehen diesen in der Wohnung aufzustellen. Jedoch war wegen des Dreipunktständers der Abstand zur Wand größer für meine Rennräder, sodass doch mehr Platz nötig war. Habe ihn in der Garage aufgestellt, wo er jetzt hinpasst. Hat aber nichts mit der Funktion zu tun, diese ist tadellos. Das Teil ist sehr solide und hochwertig. Überlege mir schone einen weiteren zu bestellen.

My thanks to other positive Amazon reviews that tipped me off to this item. We have two bikes, and I had them on an expensive Topeak vertical bike rack — one of those floor-to-ceiling pole designs. It was a disaster. It once came loose from the ceiling in high heat and dumped a bike onto the hood of my car. Beyond that, the cradles were very tricky to tighten in that if they were just a little too loose, the bikes would slooowly slide to the bottom of the pole. But if you tightened them just a smidge too far, the mechanism would strip and pop loose completely. I once spent 45 minutes trying to get them set correctly while they kept sliding down or popping loose. I had straps all over the bikes and hooked to the wall out of fear of another collapse.
Now, with a new car in the garage, I didn’t want a repeat of the tumbling bikes situation, but needed to go vertical again because I just don’t have that many options in our smallish, densely packed (but neatly, I swear) garage. This rack did the trick.
First off, this is good-looking piece. I got the plain aluminum and it’s just gorgeous. It would do justice to the interior of anyone’s house if you wanted to keep it inside. Besides the brushed aluminum pole, the other bits are heavily powder-coated, so they’re slick and should stay beautiful and corrosion free. It’s solid as a rock, with no wobble I can detect with the two vertical pieces screwed together.
Assembly only requires a few moves, but it’s a bit tricky. There is some fiddling and holding of several pieces at once while you tighten down the leg assembly on the bottom pole section, and the instructions fail to note that there is an “up” (with tiny holes to attach the top piece and a “down.” Had to do it twice. But once assembled the whole piece is mechanically solid and smartly built — a thick top plate fastens to a matching plate on the bottom with the legs arranged in between with molded nubs locking them into position. One leg faces straight forward, so it’s extremely strong and stable. It feels like an industrial / commercial grade piece of equipment, and I have no fear whatsoever it will tip over.
With the legs attached and the pole assembled, the arms slide into a track with small metal backing plates and tighten down with two short Allen-head screws each. That’s a little fussy too, because one you have them slotted in, if you back out a screw too far in adjusting things, the back plates move around and you often have slide the whole arm up and out and re-insert it. It took a while to get the bikes where I wanted them (one has an unusual slanted top tube). But again, it’s a solid, dead-simple system. The backing plates are solid powder-coated metal, and the track is built into the aluminum poles. It feels like nothing’s going anywhere once you tighten things down. And because the arms move up and down independently, you can deal with an unusual top tube to get the balance right.
Now that it’s up, I don’t know why I suffered with the inferior floor-to-ceiling friction pole thing for so long. The Velo unit just exudes quality and doesn’t cost any more.
Five stars for solving an annoying, potentially dangerous problem in my garage.

I think Feedback Sports may have a real quality problem they should address.
I know what I’m talking about, because I ordered the exact same setup about 10 years ago, and it has been great. But when I tried to replicate that setup for my vacation house, I found there were quality problems that made it impossible to turn it into a 4 bike system.
The details: My wife and I just finished wasting two hours assembling, disassembling, altering, and reassembling a 2 bike velo cache along with the expansion kit designed to turn it into a 4 bike stand. Both the 2 bike stand and the +2 bike expansion kit were defective.
The expansion kit had only two arms, i.e., enough for one bike. I would say that’s defective for all intents and purposes. Incidentally, the packaging was pretty beat up and had an excessive amount of packing tape on it. I wonder if it had been previously returned by someone else?
The 2 bike stand was also defective. More precisely, the holes drilled in the two similar leg were mispositioned by a few millimeters–the result of which was that when we tried to insert the single long leg that is part of the expansion kit, it would not fit in between them. Yes, we moved the two “pins” in the base plate by hammering them out of their original position and re-hammering them in the expansion kit position.
If you’ve read this far, I commend you for your tolerance with boring stories. Now, imagine that you were executing the above steps with your wife, and when you discovered it just would not work, you had to undo the above steps to re-convert it into a 2 bike setup. Perhaps you can see how we would resent having spent two hours of our lives that we will never get back on this.
Consequently I insisted that Amazon refund me the purchase price for the 2 bike setup. This required extra time spent on the phone, but they finally did. They insisted I return the expansion kit. I will dutifully waste more time packing up the thing and taking it to a UPS store so Amazon can pay UPS to emit CO2 returning it to a warehouse somewhere where it will sit until somebody decides to put it into a landfill.
Feedback Sports, here’s some feedback: fix your freakin’ quality problems!

かなり高さがあります。自己責任で先端部を金鋸で10cm程度切断し、イナバの物置に入れて使っています。先端部は斜めのデザインなので、斜めにカットするのが少し難しかったですが、プラスチックのカバーも問題なく嵌まり、出来映えには満足しています。10cm程度短くなっても、ちゃんと2台掛けられます。

Nos libero mucho espacio, es muy practico y funcional muy versátil para cualquier cuadro y Amazon nos respondió inmediatamente con una reposición ya que el primero nos llego con una pata incorrecta, siempre buena experiencia de compra en precio y calidad, muy contentos.

Great freestanding rack. Doesn’t wobble and was pretty easy to set up. Doesn’t scratch my bikes because of the rubber arms. Got it on sale for $200 a bit over a year ago.
