    A little challenging to assemble but once assembled works well. Very sturdy and unobtrusive.

    Read the instructions carefully, identify the different hardware parts, and take your time putting it all together. When installation is complete, place the stand where you intend to keep it and advance or withdraw the adjustable feet beneath each leg until you eliminate any wobbling. I was motivated (but I was also watching Disenchantment on Netflix) and I managed to put it all back together in under an hour.

    This is a cost-effective expansion kit that fits flawlessly onto the Feedback vertical bike stand. The final product is a sturdy bike stand with a capacity for four bikes.

    Great product. I definitely recommend it.

    I have a few Feedback products because they make good products.

    This went together pretty quickly but took enough time to enjoy being out in the garage with a beer or three.

    I ordered the 2 bike add on for a total of four bikes. Two bikes is easy to coordinate for spacing but four bikes took a little bit more time since I mixed MTB’s and road bikes.

    I love it. It has given me a lot of my garage back and I also know they are safe from falling over etc. Another feature that I like is that I can put a 30′ Krytonite cable through all the frames and rear wheels while away if needed. Makes quick and easy work to lock down your whips.

    My Velo Cache inhabits my living room because I have nowhere else to store my bikes. Looks great there (to my biased eye), and the accessory basket is really handy. When I got bike #4 I caved and got this kit. I’m pleased that it took less additional space than I expected. The stand is angled across one corner of the room, and I put the bikes I use less on the back side.

    It was a bit tricky to align the bikes so that the handlebars don’t interfere with each other, and to position the basket so it is accessible without smearing chain lube on my sleeves, but in the end it all works out. A FeedBack Sports Flop Stop for each bike helps hold the handlebars straight.

    Easy add-on kit for two more bikes. Have a plan on how to place the hooks before starting to avoid additional dis-assembly/ assembly.
    Stand is stable and works well to keep the bikes off the wheels and neatly stowed.

    Once you’ve laid out the cash for the Velo Cache Column, this is a pretty reasonably priced accessory to double its capacity. I purchased both at the same time and the directions for assembly were pretty straightforward. The only exception being the part where you are instructed to “push the pins through the plate” – I guess I would have written something like, “pound the sh*t out of with a hammer” but maybe that’s just me. Once the pin issue is resolved, the rest of it is pretty simple. With the cradle arms all sliding in the same tracks, you need to think about which bikes are going on which cradles… particularly if you have a step-through frame or some really sweet full suspension rig – and really plan out which cradle needs to be higher, by how much, etc etc. It takes up a good bit more real estate than the Velo Cache alone would do, so if you’re imagining four bikes snuggled up next to your wall, you may end up disappointed. The whole unit is pretty darn stable, even with four bikes loaded (two hybrid bikes, one mountain bike, and a fatbike.

    I tried out the Velo Cache stand and really liked it so decided to order the expansion pack. The product I received looked used and had several areas on both the bar and assembly arms where the black paint had chipped off. Amazon promptly shipped me a replacement, which also had the same issue. Another reviewer has also posted pictures of this damage. It appears that the manufacturer’s (Feedback Sports) packaging is poorly constructed, and they didn’t think to include a compressible material/foam between the metal components that will inevitably bang against each other in transit. Amazon Customer Service worked out a solution with me, so I decided to keep it.

    Assembly isn’t too difficult. You will have to hammer the pins pretty hard to loosen and reinstall them in the alternate holes. I like that two sets of screws are included so arms can either be stacked (longer screw) or staggered (shorter screws).

    This kit made it easy to convert my 2-bike Velo Cache into a 4-bike rack. In addition to the small hex wrench included with this kit, you’ll need a large Phillips screwdriver and a hammer. Yes, a hammer. There are two steel pins that hold the legs of the tripod version of the stand in place. You’ll have to tap them out and hammer them into the pre-drilled alternate holes. Use a solid surface (not a carpeted floor, for example), and mind your fingers.
    One cool feature of this kit is the option to either place the four extra arms back-to-back with the arms on the original kit, or to install them in a staggered pattern. This gives you options, in case you have a bike with an oddly constructed frame.
    My one complaint here is that this kit (and the rack it accompanies) are quite pricey. Having said that, they’re high-quality, durable, and will last indefinitely. It’s a great rack, and this is a well-conceived add-on kit, not at all an afterthought. The price stung a bit, but I love this system and expect to use it for decades.
