Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor PBS-2R Two-Bike Floor Bike Stand

Customer Review: Does the job well!
Summary: 5 Stars

Based on other reviews, looked like a solid product and when it arrived - very beefy, I was not disappointed. Though I was disappointed that no nuts/bolts were included and I tepidly called the Racor service number. The person I spoke with was very pleasant and they sent me a full nuts/bolts set via UPS, arriving only a few days later - very nice!! Put everything together and my 2 mountain bikes face opposite each other and stand is rock solid. Works great for me and highly recommended.

Customer Review: Does the trick
Summary: 4 Stars

Sturdy construction, nice to look at, and at the right price. What sold me was the fact that you can have both bikes facing the same direction.

I only had 3 minor issues. When I carried the package inside after it was delivered, a washer and a bolt fell out of one of the box seams. I opened it up to find that the little baggie that held the hardware was cut open in transit by it contents, and parts were strewn all over inside the box. Luckily, everything was present and accounted for, but the hardware is pretty basic and nothing I couldn't have replaced at my local hardware store. I'm just glad I didn't have to.

The second issue is that, for the life of me, I can't get the thing to sit perfectly flat. I loosened and re-adjusted the screws 3 times, and it's still a bit off kilter (one corner is always about 1/4 inch off the ground).

Lastly, it was pretty stinky when I got it out of the box, but that went away in a couple of days.

It should be known that none of these issue are dealbreakers. The rack does its job well in a limited amount of space, it was relatively inexpensive, and it's not unsightly like some of the other racks out there. And once it's assembled, this thing is bombproof.

Assembly was fairly intuitive and I almost got by without reading the instructions. What took me 20 minutes to assemble may only take you 10 minutes. Just don't don't tighten all the screws down before it's fully assembled and you can do it without instructions. The instructions say this plainly, but of course...

Anyway, I'm glad that I didn't have to spend a bunch of dough to get exactly what I needed. The manufacturer just needs to use a sturdier bag for the hardware. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase. You probably will be too. Just let it air out in the back yard overnight...

Customer Review: Does the trick but you get what you pay for
Summary: 3 Stars

Bought this to park my wife's (Giant) and mine (Gary Fisher) mountain bike's in the garage. Cheaply made, was a bit of a pain to put together and does a so-so job. Need to park the bikes nose-to-tail to fit properly and you have to be cautious if you have disc brakes or they'll get stuck. Average stand but that's what I expected for what I paid.

Customer Review: Does what it's supposed to.
Summary: 5 Stars

The Racor PBS-2R Two-Bike Floor Bike Stand does what it's supposed to. Setup took me about 25-30 minutes and the stand was ready to go. After I put it together I immediately wanted to get one that held more bikes (we have 6 bikes that could use a stand like this). Poor planning on my part, but I didn't realize how handy this would be until I bought it.
