Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor Pro PLB-2R Two-Bike Gravity Freestanding Bike Stand
Customer Review: Bike stand
Summary: 4 Stars
The bike stand was very easy to assemble. It fits both my bike and my son's bike easily. You have to work a little to adjust the arms to hold the bikes level. I did not secure it to the wall but it supports the bikes without any problem and doesn't seem to have any problem with staying upright.Customer Review: Bulky. Nothing fancy. But does what it's supposed to.
Summary: 4 Stars
If you really care about aesthetics, this won't be installed in a highly-visible spot. But it's about as functional as a stand gets. There are adjustments you can make on the stands 'arms' depending on the slant of the top bar on the bike, so that's helpful. Is it deceptive to call it gravity... freestanding? I suppose, but anyone that actually looks at the picture or does some common sense research can see that you need a wall to prop this against. There is also an option to anchor it to the wall, but I've gone so far without doing so. It's not much of a space-saver - it does keep you from leaning one bike against the other in a precarious spot, which is what I needed both to save some space and to keep either bike away from harm. Also nice to work on a bike more at eye-level sometimes and avoid buying a workstand for easy fixes.
It's not pretty, but it does the trick. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a good & cheap option.
Customer Review: Buy Two, shackle together for best free-stander around!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just Do It and Live Strongly. Seriously kids, this was the wisest and most fun thing I did all week. When I finished I stood back and really appreciated the quick shipment and the fine work Racor put into this design. I think I have a real reason now for not taking my bikes down and riding tomorrow. I needed a better exuse than the one about washing the towels or my hair.
Repeat after me... BUY TWO RacorPro 2-bike stands and affix together. One 4-bike stand is not sturdy, flexible, nor is it anywhere as sexy.
Customer Review: Buyer Beware
Summary: 1 Stars
Buyer Beware! This rack is not as advertised.
To start, the box that the rack came in was so disheveled it looked like someone had already opened it. Additionally, the pieces themselves were dirty and had scratches all over. Assembly of the rack was easy, however the pieces of the vertical post do not lock into place tightly which results in complete instability. The top section of the vertical post leans away from the wall ~1/2 foot instead of resting against the wall. When I placed a bike in the top rack, the whole thing almost came crashing down because of the severity of the lean.
I do not recommend this product which is unfortunate because I was really looking forward to it.
Customer Review: Can actually hang 4 bikes on it
Summary: 4 Stars
I live in an apartment in NYC and have four road bikes. I've actually been able to hang all four bikes on this stand at one time. It's very stable even with four bikes on it.
