Feedback SportsRakk Storage Stand(Return to Product Page)

We have two road bikes and two cruiser bikes...these racks are so simple...either roll in front or back tire...holds bike upright...easy to fit almost anywhere.

These stands don't take up much room. Hubby and I have cruiser bikes which have kick stands...handle bars on those...one direction...road bike (no kick stand) handle bars fit very close in opposite direction in the stand. I back my road bike rear tire next to the handle bars of my cruiser bike...so this stand makes for very good use of a narrow space.

These racks are just what I was looking for portable, lightweight, and modular. Very well made. The only modification I would suggest is the one I have made The (rear) wheel is cradled in a pair of brackets on the bottom frame (and held in tension by the spring loaded roller arm). These brackets ultimately only support the rear tire with their edges. I affixed some pliable foam to form a cradle to prevent deformation or damage to the tubular tires mounted on my bikes. Everything else is perfect for my purposes.

I've had one of these for a few years. Some of the smartest money I've spent on cycling. It goes in the car with everything else for training rides and event rides so I always have a place to park the bike. No having to lay it down, find a tree to lean it against or leaning it against the car and risk scratching it. As long as the stand is on level pavement it's very stable.

Bought 3 of these to replace slot-style bike stand. They work very well if you ease wheel into stand and keep the bike relatively straight (perpendicular) to the stand. I intended to connect the three stands to make it more secure, but found there wasn't enough clearance between bikes for handlebars. But even without connecting them, the stands stay put - unlike our old stand, which was always sliding out of place. All the same, it'd be nice if Rakk made an extended connector for these that put another 3-4 inches between each bike. I don't worry about this stand bending the wheel out of true because wheel really is held at verticle by spring arm.

If you are using this for a road bike you'll want to put something under your tire. The metal edges on the bottom bracket are sharp enough to cut a tire. It seems they could put a small layer of rubber over the sharp edges.
