While we're big fans of expanding our quiver of bikes, finding storage for them can be frustrating. Fortunately the Feedback Sports Velo Wall Rack is there to simplify the process. The Velo Wall rack works by mounting into a stud in your wall, and holding your bike laterally with its two arms, enabling you to securely store your bike in any free wall space. The arms slide independently up and down, so the rack can accommodate any kind of bike with just a couple of adjustments, but unlike on the newer Velo 2-D the arms do not adjust outwards, instead they stay fixed in place 12-inches from the wall. The fixed arm distance has its plusses, though, adding strength to the arm so that the Velo Wall Rack can hold up to a 70-lb bike, making it a viable option even for heavy e-bikes. The cradles at the end of the arms are made from soft rubber, designed to keep delicate paint jobs scratch free, and keeping your bike from slipping and sliding around on the wall.

The best wall-mount rack for drywall (or anything else). Bike is rock-solid with this rack.
This is a replacement for my Racor Pro PSB-1R Single Folding Bike Rack that I purchased in 2013. That one sank into my drywall, because it could not bear the weight of moderate-weight bicycles, nor were the arms adjustable. The Feedback rack addresses those issues.1. This large plate on this rack rests flush with the wall. So, when the bike is on the rack, the weight against the wall is over a wider area. This means that the plate does not song into the drywall.2. The arms are adjustable. Therefore, one can move them up or down based on the top-tube of a bicycle design. And, it can be adjusted whenever I need.My advice on installation is to have a stud sensor, a level, an electric drill, and either a 5/32 or 3/16 drill bit for a pilot hole. The directions recommend using a 1/8 drill bit when drilling the pilot hole, but I could not get the mounting screws into the stud. I opted for the 3/16 bit for the pilot hole and that took care of it.I'm so happy with the quality and design of this rack that I am purchasing 3 more for mu other bikes.

Not so great for mountain bikes due to wider handlebars !!!
As an engineer I sometimes encounter products by companies that are truly great - The Velo Cache 2 Floor Stand, for instance - its a work of art and its functional. The Cache is a great design, it truly does hold all bikes safely and easily. So I figured the wall mounted rack would be similar in design because it by the same company -- NOPE ! This one makes me scratch my head. For instance, the nice curved rubber cradles on the Cache have been replaced by these harder rubber stepped ones - so instead of putting even pressure on the frame, the bike now rests on the steps which make it more prone to rocking. This new cradle design is not half as good as the one on the Cache but is what it is. The most puzzling of all - these guys must not have tested this rack with mountain bikes - for if they had they would have, they'd have seen they needed to add a few inches to the arms. The only way I can put my mountain bike on it, is to crank the handlebars all the way to one side. Not only does it look like crap while its hanging, but the wheel is sticking out into space by 8" so its easy to run into when walking by it. To make matters worse , because you have to crank the handlebars over - the handlebar end WILL contact the wall - over time, you are going to gouge the wall. Finally, if you mount two racks , one over the other so that two bikes can be mounted one on top of the other -- it is a major pain to get the top bike into the rack because you have to crank the handlebars to one side while you lift the bike into the cradles. This could have been such a great product - if the arms were just 2 inches longer it will truly hold road and mountain bikes WITHOUT any issues. I fixed the situation by adding a 2" spacer behind it, its a bit ugly & jury rigged, but better than returning it. Be warned you will have a minor woodworking task on your hands if you want this to fit correctly for MTB. I give this product one star - because honestly - its poorly designed - we should not have to build shims for the bit to sit right in it. (see photos - the image with the wheel cranked out is how a mountain bike fits into the rack out of the box, ironically this photo is from their website. The other photos show what I had to do to get the rack to fit a standard MTB correctly. I just have a minor painting task left to dress it up.

Nice and sturdy
I researched many different bicycle wall hanging racks before choosing this one. This is extremely sturdy when anchored into studs. What was nice was that each arm could be at a different height, so if your bike bar is angled and not straight across, you can adjust one higher and the bike hangs level. I am a women who is ok using some tools, and I found this very easy to assemble. Highly recommend this.

Not for a mountain bike
Not as good a product as it's reviews would indicate. The grips included, which are different from the one in the posting, are for skinny frame bikes. For the price, they should include multiple grip sizes or have grips that contour to a mountain bike's wider frame. Also, the arms aren't as stable as they could be. Finally, one arm should be a different length. (The next model up had adjustable arms, do perhaps that would be a better product). For these reasons I don't think the price is justified.

Strong yet versatile bike storage!
Excellent product for storing my bike! I don't have a kickstand on my bike so I needed an alternative way to store my bike in the garage. I mostly like the functional feature of having variable heights on the arm bars allowing for a more leveled position for bikes that don't have an even top bar of the frame (ie my hybrid/fitness bike or female bikes). Another reason I chose this method of storing my bike is because I read that 'hanging' your bike by the wheel could potentialyl damage the rims due to the unnatural weight distribution on that one wheel (especially on carbon bikes such as my Specialized 2015 Sirrus Elite Carbon Disc in the picture). I knew I wanted to hang my bike by it's frame but I also wanted it to be even and this wall rack achieves that. This rack is super sturdy and I have no doubt in my mind it'll hold heavier bikes such as some mountain bikes. Just make sure you have a drill bit long enough to accommodate the long screws. I'm ordering another one right now for my roommates bike as well.

Well made, simple, solid and looks good.
Clean design - sort of a bit of industrial chic or something. Nice enough for inside the house if you display your prized Colnago or Pinarello in the living room. Solid construction and well made. All components have a nice durable finish on them. Soft ends on the hangers to protect the finish on your frame. No difficulty in hanging the bike or taking it off again.Easy to install as long as you are certain that you are going into a wooden wall stud. For anything else you'll need some additional hardware. Do not mount to drywall (sheet rock) with plastic plug anchors unless you want to come home to find your bike on the floor still attached to a big chunk of your wall. Easy to adjust the height of the arms independently for sloping top tubes. Extends far enough from the wall for any bicycle with "normal" road bars - I have no experience with anything else. No facility for hanging accessories which I didn't care about but some people may. I hang my helmet from the handlebars and throw my gloves inside it.

Simple & uncomplicated single bike rack
Comes with 2 long black Pozi countersunk woodscrews so will need rawl plugs for masonry mounting. Every part is black. The extruded aluminium wall bracket is screwed onto a wall then the 2 arms are slid into position then tightened onto the attached oblong plates. The 2 arms can bet set to different heights to allow for sloping top tubes.The "V" shaped hooks are made from soft plastic, not rubber so should last a few years. This wall mount's bracket offset measures exactly 1 foot (305mm) out from the wall so should accommodate fairly wide straight bars. My commuter bike's hydraulic brake cable runs underneath the top tube so I've tie-wrapped some soft packing material so as to not deform this cable. The hooks are deep enough to make the bike stable but not too deep as to make lifting the bike on & off too tiresome. Recommended.

Bike far to far from wall
This is the newer model for a Feedback Velo Post - bring back the old model. The arms are not adjustable so your bike is far to far from wall (for a full size racing bike) so your front wheel just turns in or out and gets in the way. The old model the arms were adjustable (in and out from wall as well as up and down) so you could position your bike just right. I would go as far as saying it is not fit for purpose.

Quality wall mounted bike rack
Excellent build quality and very easy to assemble. I mounted to a garage wall made of light weight breezeblocks using Rigifix M6 bolts which anchor the Velo wall bracket solidly, really no danger of falling down. Delighted with the look and functionality of the bike rack.

Great Quality and works very well
Yes I am very pleased with my purchase, it is very good quality an d the important thing is it works, because of the design of moving each leg to different positions it worked very well with the awkward shape of my frame. thank you and highly recommended
