Can I hang one bike vertically on this rack? It's light, 22 lbs

If you were to do that, I'd suggest you ensure the frame is secured to the wall and the red prongs are evenly holding the bike's weight. I used this with two bikes, one adult and one child. However, I didn't not secure the frame to a wall since I live in an apartment. I relied on pure gravity and appropriate weight balance.

No, not meant to hang that way-- will tip over. The hooks hold the bike by its frame- top bar. You can stack 2 bikes, but horizontal.

Why? Its designed to hold bikes horizontally. it will probably hold a 22 lb bike vertically, but you might have unexpected issues by using it outside its intended design.

I wouldn't stack it, when full, my rack leans, I don't think it could carry more weight at the top.

Yes, but not as tightly as I would like. My mountain bike has a think frame so it can be challenging. Also, there is no way this rack can carry 4 mountain bikes. Two tops.

Yes, if the customization allows for the size and shape of the rack. It wouldn't ordinarily be able to balance in the vertical position.

No you can't, but the tilt is slight. It needs to be a little tilted, so that the gear doesn't fall forward. This is a great rack

Probably not, but if you don't mind the occasional bike falling on your head, go for it.Otherwise, I would suggest mounting an extension to the ceiling on the higher side, so that the pulleys are at the same elevation. Keep in mind that each pulley has to hold/support half the weight of your bike.

The rack I have has room for three bikes. Yes you can get three bikes on the rack by facing bikes in alternating directions

You can stack them vertically if you want. It would be less stable, so you would have to put your heavier items on the bottom two shelves and your light items on the top.

I would hang it higher so the bike is completely off the floor. This way you have more wiggle room when you try to hang up your bike. Also, since every bike's size dimension is different, you won't have to worry if you want to hang a different bike in the future. I would just hang it where it is comfortable for you to hang your bike, leaving a few inches at the bottom.

I guess if u have a higher cieling and lighter bikes (35lbs max of each bike) but I suggest just get 2 of these and put it against the wall and hang your 4bikes in twos and u will appreciate it.

I only use it for one bike and it works well. As long as the base is away from the wall the right distance, it's fine. The hangers are adjustable, as well.

When I first installed the rack, I placed just one bike on the top, in order to get a sense of how high it would have to be. It didn't seem any less sturdy at that moment than it does now (still going strong with both bikes).

You can definitely make it work. The two "hooks" can be adjusted independently, so you can put one higher for the front and one lower for the back so the bike itself sits level.

The supplied hooks are probably not strong enough to hold a bike. I think you might be able to modify to hold a bike if you attached a piece of wood (e.g. 2x4 or 1x2) to the ceiling "rafters". Run the wood across the width of the ceiling (about 7 feet) and attach hooks to the wood. Maybe you could get two bikes hung. By the way, outside dimension of footprint frame is 27.5" x 85.5". Max height at highest peak is 81.5" You would have a bit over 6' of hanging height to work with for the bikes.

I'm not sure what you're asking. This is a rack for 2 bicycles. Please rephrase your question & I'll see if I can answer it. Thanks. Steve

it works great with two bikes but I have not tried just one on top. I would think it would be unstable with all the weight on top. You could put one on the bottom by itself but that lowers the center of gravity. I hope this helps. One other thing you could do is clamp the rack to the wall and then you could put one on top.

If you are reasonably careful, but the rack must be "securely" mounted to the wall. I normally have two bikes up, but at times I take the bottom one for a ride leaving the top bike still on the rack. It seems secure and has not been a problem. I would not trust it free standing..
