Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor PBS-2R Two-Bike Floor Bike StandCustomer Review: Does the trick Summary: 4 Stars
Sturdy construction, nice to look at, and at the right price. What sold me was the fact that you can have both bikes facing the same direction.
I only had 3 minor issues. When I carried the package inside after it was delivered, a washer and a bolt fell out of one of the box seams. I opened it up to find that the little baggie that held the hardware was cut open in transit by it contents, and parts were strewn all over inside the box. Luckily, everything was present and accounted for, but the hardware is pretty basic and nothing I couldn't have replaced at my local hardware store. I'm just glad I didn't have to.
The second issue is that, for the life of me, I can't get the thing to sit perfectly flat. I loosened and re-adjusted the screws 3 times, and it's still a bit off kilter (one corner is always about 1/4 inch off the ground).
Lastly, it was pretty stinky when I got it out of the box, but that went away in a couple of days.
It should be known that none of these issue are dealbreakers. The rack does its job well in a limited amount of space, it was relatively inexpensive, and it's not unsightly like some of the other racks out there. And once it's assembled, this thing is bombproof.
Assembly was fairly intuitive and I almost got by without reading the instructions. What took me 20 minutes to assemble may only take you 10 minutes. Just don't don't tighten all the screws down before it's fully assembled and you can do it without instructions. The instructions say this plainly, but of course...
Anyway, I'm glad that I didn't have to spend a bunch of dough to get exactly what I needed. The manufacturer just needs to use a sturdier bag for the hardware. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase. You probably will be too. Just let it air out in the back yard overnight...
Description of Racor PBS-2R Two-Bike Floor Bike StandThis stand lets you quickly store 2 bikes with ease. The bikes can be stored in the same or alternate directions. It's easy for children to use, and has a solid steel tubular construction with a lifetime warranty and a durable epoxy finish. With the rise in popularity of expensive bicycles, storage and safety have become an issue. Bikes stored one on top of the other in a garage or hanging from a ceiling can be dangerous for small children or can fall and damage not only the bike, but an expensive automobile or truck. The PBS-2R Racor Bike Stand will securely store two bikes in either direction and can be used indoors or can be secured outside the home to safely store your bikes. The Stand is easy for children to use and the tubular steel construction with its durable epoxy finish will give you many years of dependable service. --C. Dwight Barnett
