   A little more width would have helped significantly. I would have given 5 stars for a 60 inch width instead of 46 inch. The unit is very sturdy and the price for what you get is fair – no other racks will hold FIVE bikes for this amount. The width is perfect if all you have are road bikes with narrow (drop) bars. Every other bike should be hung with the bars up or down so the bars do not interfere with each other. However, I have several mountain and touring bikes with very wide bars, which definitely interfere with each other, even when mounted every other bar facing the same way up or down. If the main rack bar had been 60″ wide instead of 46″ then hanging (and especially retrieving) mountain bikes would have been a lot easier because there would be extra distance between hooks and I wouldn’t have to disentangle the bike I want to retrieve from a nest of handlebars from adjacent hanging bikes. That being said, the quality and strength is excellent. I bought two units for my ten bikes. The adjustable hooks are a great feature and I gave my favorite bikes a bit more room to make retrieving them easier. The hooks fit all my bikes from a 20″ wheel folder, to a mid-fat 27.5 mtb wheel.I mounted this rack to a concrete block wall with 1/4 ” x 1-1/4 ” TAPCON concrete screws. You will need a hammer drill and a 3/16″ masonry bit to drill the holes 1-3/4″ deep. Make sure to blow out the dust from each hole before screwing in the anchors with a 5/16″ socket. Before buying, I had to contact Store Your Board a couple of times to find out their lag screw diameter and if it were possible to mount the rack to a block wall. The SYB company ought to publish this information – they’d sell more product if they did.Of the two units I bought, one was perfect; in the other one the main rack bar was too tight a fit into the square holes in the brackets and I had to lightly file those holes because the black coating made the fit way too tight to slide in the main bar.Another piece of information missing from the SYB instructions was how high on the wall the rack should go. This is a non-intuitive measurement because the hooks engage the wheel near the axle, but the bike comes to rest hanging somewhere above the axle, but it is not clear exactly where. The bike will drop down somewhat when the wheel is hooked. Frustratingly, I had to remount my whole rack because I did not allow enough “sag” to keep my longer bikes up off the floor despite repeated measuring and estimating the sag.Here’s what I learned the hard way! To find the minimum height to put the rack bar, place your longest bike perpendicular to a wall so the front wheel is touching. Mark the floor three or four inches past the longest part of the bike’s rear as viewed from the top toward the floor. The height of the rack above the floor (measured from the hook center, which is also the center of the main rack bar) should be a MINIMUM of 92% of this length. My measurements were: longest bike allowing for room at the rear – 75 inches. Height of center of rack bar hooks above floor – 69 inches. This put my longest bike about three inches off the floor, and my shorter road bikes higher off the floor than that. If you want your bikes to have more room underneath, the raise the rack bar height accordingly. I’d give the Easy To Install five stars if SYB had included how to find the height above the floor which I had to learn the hard way by trial and error.Overall, if you have lots of bikes, this rack is the most bang for the buck. If only SYB offered a longer 60 inch rack bar, it would be perfect for mountain bikes as well as your road bikes.

   This rack is great, super simple idea that’s well executed. Replaced my Gladiator bike rack with this due to the Gladiator not supporting the larger mountain bike wheel + tire sizes, which this thing does with no problems at all.Because we store the bikes well off of the ground, hanging from the front wheel is almost impossible to do on any bike rack and this one is no exception. Realistically this is a 3 x adult + 2 x kids bike rack.I did also purchase a second version of this rack (for garden tools) so that I could easily store our 4 bikes comfortably, and have the bonus of a few hooks between the bikes for hanging garden tools.

   The rack was easy to install and is sturdy. It currently holds 4 bikes, including one e-MTB. It would be a challenge to fit a 5th bike but it would probably work.

   Get yourself a stud finder, an 1/8” drill bit and a combination wrench and you’re good to go. Easy as pie to install. However, this is not a five bike rack unless you’ve got five kids bikes or five road bikes. I could barely fit four bikes on this thing. Great product, but falsely advertised.

   I would highly recommend this rack to other people who look for bike storage tools. The extra $20 compare to those cheaper ones is well worth! Very easy to install and hold the bikes well. For kids bike, fitness bike and road bike, this is the right rack. If you have mountain bike, then it may only fits 3 bikes instead of 5. Mine get the job done with Three kids bikes and two adult fitness bikes.

   This is exactly what I needed. I have a small 2 car garage with a low ceiling and I wanted to find a space to store my bike’s which allowed me to use both bays of the garage for vehicles. I have 4 bike’s (Large MTB, Large hybrid, Medium hybrid and small MTB) and a very small spot to store. The size was perfect for my space and alternating bikes (handle bards up and down) made it easy to mount the bikes. The rack was very easy to install, very easy to adjust and very sturdy. I highly recommend!

   This installed very easily for us, and has been a game-changer for bicycle storage in the garage.It’s so incredibly tough that I can’t imagine it ever breaking or bending. Would buy again in a heartbeat.
