 Solid and useful August 6, 2003

This Racor unit is pretty much the same thing you'll see in bicycle shops. It's solidly made, and heavy enough to keep a pair of bikes standing upright.Who needs it? Anyone with kids, I think. Getting kids to park their bikes somewhere that (1) you won't back over them with the car (2) you won't trip over them coming out of the house is always a struggle; just getting them to do something other than simply drop them on the ground where they got off can be a major task. This stand makes that task just a little easier by providing a fixed place to stash the bikes with little or no effort. Place one on the back porch and one in the garage and you'll always know where the bikes are. Oh, and if you're an adult with a lot of bike riding friends, place one or two by your side door. Your friends will appreciate it!
Great for the money July 6, 2004

I had the same issue as another reviewer - the same "U" brackets (i.e. two "left" brackets) - I called the company - this is intentional (probably to save money). You will need to use two longer screws for one of the "U"s and two of the shorter ones for the "U" with the recessed holes (none of this makes sense now - but it will when you put it together). But it will fit together. Once done - it works great - holds my Specialized Rockhopper very firmly - and looks good (second bike - no problem). For the money (29.99 at amazon plus free shipping) - was best price around.
Solid Bike Stand October 23, 2006

Setup: While not overly complicated,I had trouble envisioning how the curved bars were supposed to attach. It required unscrewing part of it once I realized my mistake. Even with that goof-up, it took 15 minutes to install.
Use: Couldn't be simplier...when you push the tire of the bike into the stand, the bike is secure. I've had no problems with the bike twisting (like you might think) and the spacing is adequate for two mountain bikes to be side by side without banging into each other.
Overall: Solid, well built. I can't imagine anyone having complaints about such a simple product.
Nothing flashy, but exactly what I wanted January 25, 2007

After years of dealing with my kids' bikes falling over in the garage, I wanted to buy a solid bike stand that was affordable and easy to use. I'm happy to say that the Racor stand is exactly what I wanted.
Important points:
1) It's sturdy.
2) Each one holds 2 bikes easily, even with large tires.
3) It is quick and easy to assemble with tools included in the package.
Great affordable stand May 14, 2007

I read all of the reviews and was prepared for some parts to be missing, but since Amazon has such a stellar returns policy and the bike stand was so cheap, I ordered it anyway.
I got it a few days later, opened it up and all of the parts were there. I had it assembled in about 5 minutes with the included allen wrench.
The bike stand works great. It holds our two mountain bikes securely in the garage. One of the bikes has disk brakes and I was nervous that the design of the stand would interfere with the disks, but it fits just fine with about 1 inch of clearance. I have the Avid BB5 mechanical disk brakes with the 160mm rotors. So, if you have larger rotors, they might not work with this stand.
Overall, I've been very happy. This is a great affordable stand.
