 Bike stand is easy to set up, and really does save space. |

| Unlike the leaning type of bike stands, this unit really does save a TON of space. I now have my road bike and my mountain bike in the bedroom of my small apartment, tucked behind the door. It is great. The nicest feature is the adjustability of the hooks, so you can hang just about any bike geometry. The padded hooks are kind to bike frames, too. And it took me about 10 minutes to set up, and was easy to move when I moved some furniture. |
Fantastic for indoor use

| This unit works like a charm. It's sturdy for up to four bikes, and takes up a very small foot print. Makes it so you can store your bikes off the floor in an easy manner. |
Easy to Install & Use

I'd done a little research before I bought. There are quite a few stands out there and I decided to buy something from another company, but before I actually made the purchase I came across the Topeak. I've been riding, racing and doing triathlons for awhile and Topeak generally designs very good products, so I went with the Topeak instead. It was a few dollars more, but I'd rather have something that works than something that's going to fall and break my TV or something.
I took the thing out of the box, and grabbed my Allen Wrench/Hex Key and it was installed in about 12 minutes. You need to be sure to fasten the top part of the stand to a sturdy/solid section of your ceiling, but other than that, installation is easy as pie. After that, all you need to do is adjust the bike hooks, and set your bike.
The stand is extremely light, so I was worried that it wouldn't be strong to hold my road bike. Completely wrong. If the thing is installed correctly, it could easily hold 4 bikes.
It's fantastic. I use it for one high end road bike. It's slim, easy to install, doesn't require you to screw anything to the walls, floor or ceiling, it looks great and it saves a ton of space in my NYC apartment.
I would highly recommend it for your bike storage needs.

| The Topeak Dual Touch has worked out extremely well for me.. After reading the reviews and complaints I put in motion my own plan to stabilize. I've read that some people have had the misfortune of a fall. Not good! My intention was to remedy this by simple means. I've found my remedy is fool proof. It may not be for some, but for the handy it turns this product into a worry free product. And a not so difficult installation.. I've simply added a 12 inch - 2 layer circular medallion on the top level. 2 plys of wood, each 3/4 inch. One layer uncut and one layer cut out for the top footing to set in. Fixed with only 3 drywall screws to the ceiling. This fixes the two issues I've seen buyers fuss over. One - it allows for a snowshoe footing for the drywall ceiling - no punch thru or cracking. And two - it allows for the small but dangerous changes that occur in climate changes. Even if my Topeak loosens under full weight of 2 bikes It cannot break free.. Hope this helps.. |
Easy to set up, sturdy, and doesn't leave a mark.

This is the perfect storage solution for people who want/need to store their bikes up and out of the way indoors but can't attach something to the walls (i.e., renters). With additional hangers, it can support up to four bikes using both sides. It's very adjustable to support nearly any kind of bike and it only took a few tries to get it to fit my full suspension MTB just right. For a hardtail or road bike, it's even easier.
Because this uses pressure between the floor and ceiling, make SURE you set it up directly below a joist or use an 18" section of 2x4 to span between two joists. Otherwise, the only support you'll have is the drywall or plaster. If the drywall doesn't crack when you first put it up, you'll likely have the rack falling over at some point since it won't have enough pressure to keep resisting gravity in the long run. |
