Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor PBS-2R Two-Bike Floor Bike Stand
Customer Review: great for kid and adult sized bikes
Summary: 5 Stars
We have four bikes - 2 adults and two kids. So, I bought two stands, and they work great. I turned it around for the kids' bikes and put the front tire in first. We have had no problem with them falling over. Even my four-year old is putting his bike away now! I was very tired of tripping over bikes - its nice to (1) have a way to keep the bikes upright, and (2) have a desginated place to park them.Bonus - two scooters fit nicely in the front side of the kids bike rack - we just leaned them two opposite ways, and they stay fine.
The price for two was comparible to many four bike systems, but we like the flexability of locating two racks.
Customer Review: Great for my city basement
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this bike stand in my basement. It holds bikes well and is compact enough to hide in a corner. It is not to keep bikes safely tucked away for long periods as bikes can slip out if bumped regularly. It does work well keeping bikes parked and not leaning on walls or furniture. When you look at the second picture, note that only part of a full sized wheel fits 'in' making it better for short term parking, not long term holding. If you want something sturdy- that can take a bump- go for a deep hook in the wall or ceiling. There are rubber feet so your floor won't get scratched. The stand is also well built and will stand up to extensive use.Customer Review: Keep Looking
Summary: 1 Stars
The Racor bike stand is of a great in quality and price. Almost perfect all in all! Seriously.
HOWEVER, and this is a big however, it is NOT intended to be used with mountain bikes, which typically have wider wheels (the bike weights ends up sitting on the wheel spikes against the Racor frame), forget also about using it with any bike that has disk brakes (again the disk brake will be stuck against the frame).
I believe the design is just too old (perfect fit for much older bikes with skinny wheels and flimsy brakes).
It is a shame, but it is in it's way to the garbage. (it is too cheap for the hassle of sending it back).
Customer Review: As advertised . . .
Summary: 4 Stars
The Racor Floor Bike stand is as advertised. Other reviewers have complained about putting it together and poor instructions. I am fairly handy, and, while putting it together in not rocket science, you do have to play around with it a bit before you get it right. Otherwise the stand does what it is suppose to. Just be careful with putting in bike with the rear wheel in. If the rear derailleur is in a high gear it will hit or jam against the Racor tube. Also if you are using it for two full size bikes facing the same way, one will have to be front first and the other rear first, otherwise the handlebars will hit each other.Customer Review: The Almost Perfect Bikestand
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd call this product almost perfect for two reasons. 1)the put-together was a little bit tricky. Parts didn't exactly match up with other parts, requiring a little more skill and effort than the product description suggested. 2) there could be more space between the two stands. I currently have my mountain bike (with the wide wings on the bars) and my road bike side by side. I guess I could put one in backward to avoid the bar collision problem. Other than that, the stand does make my life easier and my garage neater, and offers a level of protection in that it keeps my bikes from hitting the floor as they occasionally did.
