Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor B-1R Solo Vertical Bike Rack
Customer Review: Nice. Sturdy
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this item to hang my mountain bike in my garage. It has worked really well for me so far (hanging up for 5 months now). It is a slightly tight fit for my mountain bike tire, but doesn't take too much work to get it in there. My tires are a bit of a hybrid, with rough outsides and smooth in the middle. If your bike is heavy, obviously some people might have some trouble lifting it up and putting it in there.
I would recommend this product. Very simple and easy to install.
Customer Review: Cleans a messy garage
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought several of these to clean up a messy garage and they did the trick. The kids bikes now have a place to live and I can get my car in the garage. These make a great solution to a common problem. I do have concerns with how long the rubberized cushioning will last on the upper arm but that's what they make duct tape for... These make a good solution for your basic everyday bike but I don't think I would recommend them for high end bikes especially those with carbon or areo rims.Customer Review: Bike hanger does what is should
Summary: 3 Stars
The rack is sturdy, works and goes up with two screws. It is an average bike hanger. It would be nice if the rack had a bigger loop so a 29er mountain bike would be easier to hang and the hanger accommodated wide tires. I don't think the padding will last very long either.
Overall, it works well for 26 bikes unless your tires are 2.4 inches or wider. 2.2 inch wide tires are fine. I would not recommend it for 29er mountain bikes.
Customer Review: Racor Solo Bike rack
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to install, shipped quickly, solidly constructed. Attractive and simple bike hanging solution- product does what it claims.
The only reason I didn't give it "5 stars", was because I bought three of them and the two mounting screws were missing from one of them. It wasn't worth complaining about as they were 2 simple wood screws, but a minor annoyance.
FYI: This item is listed all over the internet at 2-3 times Amazon's price!
Customer Review: Cheap Mounting Screws Racor B-1R Solo Vertical Bike Rack
Summary: 3 Stars
18 February 2011: Racor B-1R Solo Vertical Bike Rack is designed for installation on walls with wood studs. The instructions are not too bad, but you need to locate wooden studs in you wall or install it on the wooden wall. The main problem is that mounting screws are cheap, strip easily and break-off. You need to buy Two stainless steel screws for this work or use common sheet rock screws, as I end up doing for installation.
