Brian Bleech Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Moving into a new house soon and will need to sort some storage out for the bikes. Main issue is the variety of bikes. - Inspired Arcade - 27.5” Hardtail - Roadie - Retro Specialized MTB - Wife’s 24” MTB Been looking at the steady rack, but we are looking at over $300 for everything. Has anyone used them? https://www.steadyrack.com/garage-bike-rack-storage/ Or any other good storage solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I did something kinda like that in a really cheap, basic way... Bought something like these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TooTaci-Bicycle-Storage-Utility-Hangers/dp/B07GTGF6KV/ref=sr_1_63?dchild=1&keywords=garage+hook&qid=1585082940&sr=8-63 And then screwed them into the rafters in the garage fairly close to the wall and hung the bike front rims from them so I could have my Echo 20", Inspired 24" and road bike above with the BMX, jump bike, mountain bike and Mrs' MTB underneath on the floor. Also used a few more to hang the boys' BMXs and trials bikes. Worked pretty well to be honest and didn't cost $300 ;). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Same as Dave above, but I put them in the wall and it seemed to work Ok. They were £1 each when I did it too, so it was a lot cheaper than that! Not as slick, but certainly did the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Same thing here, those hooks are holding all sorts of shit up in my garage, including some very dusty bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a room above it so doesn’t have any rafters, but might be able to screw into the joists. I had something like this in my old house, but they were awkward and only fit my roadie well. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Allen-Sports-Wall-Mounted-2-Bicycle-Folding-Storage-Bike-Rack-201B/10812003 I could maybe build something similar out of wood and attach it to the wall. Space to fit each bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
