TORACK Bike Storage Rack, 6 Bike Rack Wall Mount Home and Garage Organizer

Finally got my bikes off of the garage floor and out of the way when not in use. This set is built very well and was easy enough to hang on the wall. It's strong and I have no concerns about the overall design. I had some difficulty fitting this where my studs were so rather than using wall anchors, I hung ledger boards which screwed into my studs. The mount then hung on the ledger boards which screwed in the exact position I wanted to store the bikes. Install took about an hour or so with the extra steps, but well worth it.

We have bought several sets of these and they work great for a multi bike household - they also are easy to install - we opted to put them on a 2x4 to ensure we could attach well to multiple studs on the garage and also made for an easy relocation when we reorganized the garage

Can you hang 6 bikes with this rack? Yes, but not as pictured on the product page with all three sections of rack being mounted side-by-side and flush together. It's important to center each rack across wall studs, or mount on wood paneling that is anchored into wall studs. Two bikes can fit on each section, but there must be spacing between the racks. This rack system is not made specifically for bicycles. In fact, the literature that comes with the rack doesn't even mention bicycles - it shows an assortment of attachments and tooling. It's safe to say that bikes would be the heaviest thing this rack system can handle, and proper mounting is key for stability and safety. Hanging & removing bikes from the rack takes care; pulling down on the bike could bend the hook, break the mount, damage the bike, or even cause injury. It's not something I want my younger kids doing, so only larger bikes for older children will be mounted at our house. Tips (also see pictures): • Determine how high to mount the rack by measuring and eyeballing your largest bike - lift it up off the ground as far as you want it to be and take note of the top of the front tire. The bottom of the rack should be mounted between 3 - 6 inches below the top of the front tire. My wall is unfinished, so I used the 3-inch approximation (no, I did not measure - just eyeballed). • Once you mark the desired mounting position/height, use a level to draw a line on two studs. Place the rack on the line and center it between the studs. Use the rack as a template to mark the screw position. • See how close to the edge the screw holes are? Yeah, that's my biggest complaint with this product - it needs to be about an inch wider for standard wall stud mounting. Make sure to pre-drill those holes to ensure screws are driven in straight and the studs do not split! • Once the rack is mounted, pop two large hooks on each end as far apart as possible. • Different size bikes should be mounted side-by-side on the same rack to minimize petal & handlebar interferences. I rate this as 4 vs 5-stars because the racks are not wide enough for optimal mounting on studs, and I am somewhat concerned that bicycle weight may be pushing the design limits.

The bike rack was easy to install in the studs of my garage wall. It holds up the bikes and is sturdy. I bought 3 for 6 bikes. You can hang the bikes by either the front or back wheels

Just what I expected

Rack only had enough room for 3 bikes not six. Rack itself is a good product.

Super functional. Because of the design hanging on the wall it frees up a lot of space in your garage. Great for smaller spaces. They’re very stable and hold extra large bike frames with ease. They’re easy to install and took my husband under an hour. The bikes are stable while one the rack and very safe while hanging. I don’t worry about my toddler walking by them. Great value!

The overall length of each unit is 16”, however, the drill holes are 15 1/8” apart, so you’re only going to hit a stud on one side. They provided drywall anchors with this unit, likely for that reason. If you put one end in a stud and drywall anchors on the other end, it will rip out of the wall as soon as you hang just one bike. We tried it and with just one bike, which was a carbon bike so extremely light, and the rack ripped right out of the wall and bent the rack in about 1-2 seconds. The rack is supposed to hold more than one bike and most bikes are made of aluminum which is heavier than the carbon bike we put on it, so the only way this rack can work is if your studs are a little closer than 16” and if they are exactly 16” on center you might get lucky and grab a little edge of the stud. We are going to go to the hardware store and buy a 2x4 board and drill that directly into the studs and then we’ll mount the rack to the 2x4. That should work, but it won’t be pretty and requires the purchase of the wood, which is expensive right now and of course the trip to the hardware store. For these reasons, I’m giving 1 star.
