Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor B-1R Solo Vertical Bike Rack
Customer Review: Screws break, so get your own.
Summary: 2 Stars
So I've pre-drilled the holes and I'm drilling past 1/2inch drywall into a stud. The first screw head twists off. The second screw twists appart in the wall, leaving me with half a screw. The third screw gets 90% of the way and the head pops off.
Made in China strikes again. The screws provided are near worthless. I have provided my own, quality screws and mounting went up alright.
I gave this product 2 stars because I'm getting tired of buying junk from China, made to inferior specs. I would have chalked one breaking up to myself, but 3 out of 4 is a manufacturers defect, you simply don't have those issues with a Made in the USA screw. Home Depot saved the day. FYI, I'm not some first time installer either, I do all my own work in the house and on the cars. Screws breaking while installing is classic bad product. We wouldn't expect this anywhere else, why are we putting up with junk from China?
Customer Review: Works great for smaller wheels
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't use this for my bike, I hang a scooter on it instead (12" wheels). This was the only rack I found that had the skid plate and hook positioned where a small tire wouldn't scuff the wall. Just as several others have reported, the foam hook covering rips easily. I chose this product not only because it was ideal for the smaller wheels, but also because it looks nicer than the competing products. However, the wood screws were poor quality. I had to replace them both with better ones from the hardware store. But once installed in solid wood, it stays up and looks great.Customer Review: Does the job.
Summary: 4 Stars
I looked at several similar products before I bought the Racor Solo Bike Racks. The Racor racks from Amazon were the least expensive. The white color of the ones I bought look the most unobtrusive in my apartment. Although the instructions say the racks must be mounted to a wall stud with included hardware, I mounted mine to sheetrock (wallboard) using two large moly bolts for each one. (Do this at your own risk.) My two racks have worked quite well at holding my fairly light road bike and my heavier commuter bike. I docked one star for fit and finish. otherwise, I'm happy.Customer Review: Solid well designed product.
Summary: 5 Stars
Simple design, easy to install (just screw bracket into a wall stud and snap cover on). Relatively easy to lift bicycle into and off of bracket. I probably mounted mine a little too high (about 7 feet), a foot lower would make it much easier to put bike on/off bracket. The only concern I would have is if you have kids, it seems possible that they could twist the bike off the bracket and have it fall on them.
Overall a great product, that provides a simple compact storage system for one bicycle and multiple brackets can be installed to accommodate more.
Customer Review: Wall Hanger
Summary: 5 Stars
I got two of these to mount my road bikes in a corner of my room. Mounting them in the corner is not the best idea because it can be quite tricky getting the back wheel in the right spot with spokes and valve stems and a bike next to it and all that stuff. Mounting was easy enough, I put some large anchors through the drywall and it's held strong for around 6 months. Construction quality on the hardware seems good, can't complain. If you can find these in a bike shop they'll be way more expensive.
