Tools and Hardware Reviews of Racor Pro PSB-2L Double Folding Bike Rack
Customer Review: Another Excellent Racor Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually own 2 of these. While they are a tad difficult to put up based upon where the 3 screw holes are, once they are in place they are perfect. I can easily put 2 mountain bikes on these, and also use the shelf up top to hold supplies. It holds well on the wall, and with 2 MTBs (which are much heavier than road bikes), it doesn't flex at all! It is made of very strong steal, that is nicely coated with no slip rubber. For maximum strength, i recommend that it is mounted into a stud. It does come with long screws for mounting, but no sheet rock anchors if you don't have a stud to mount it in, which is really only recommended for lighter bikes or using as a single bike mount. Another excellent product from the Racor line of products, which i own 5 of at this time for various storage.Customer Review: Avoid like the plague - no redeeming features whatsoever.
Summary: 1 Stars
I must say I'm amazed they're still selling these after my experience with them - suffice to say I'm in the market for a new rack.
Like other 2 arm racks (see reviews of the "Allen Wall Mounted 2 bike rack") getting 2 bikes on here is a struggle. They have to be angled just right. Even then, the pedals interlock with something on the other bike and it's all a horrible mess.
The rack itself has plastic coating over metal arms. In a few weeks the plastic coating on mine split and came off, so be prepared to do a home repair or risk scratching your bike.
Worst of all was the mounting hardware. I used the supplied hardware to mount it to a brick wall in my garage. After a month (you're getting the picture right - longevity?) the damn thing pulled itself out my wall - bikes and all - and managed to scratch my car.
I can think of no redeeming qualities of this piece of junk. You have been warned.
Customer Review: Does not work as advertised
Summary: 1 Stars
I attached this to the wall in my garage and put two men's mountain bikes on it. It was tight, but they definitely both fit on there, leading me to wonder why there were so many negative reviews saying this thing wouldn't hold two bikes.
Everything was fine for a couple of months, and then today I came out and found my bikes in a heap on the floor, with this thing folded over like a piece of rubber.
These are adult bikes, so they're not small, but they're not particularly heavy as far as bikes go, either. I certainly didn't think they were capable of bending steel (or whatever metal the back support of this thing is made of). If you're going to sell a double bike rack, it should be able to support the weight of two bikes. Otherwise I would have bought two single racks and been done with it. Now I've got two bikes leaning against a wall with big screw holes in it.
Customer Review: Doesn't work well with modern design bikes
Summary: 4 Stars
This rack only works well with bikes that have the traditional cross-tube. My mt. bikes are full-suspension with a diagonal cross-tube. They don't hang right with this rack.
Quality of the rack is good for the price.
Customer Review: Easy to Install. Holds bike Good!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent more time finding the studs in my garage than I did installing this item. Pre-drilled the holes and assembled and put the bike up and it's been GREAT ever since! It holds my helmet and other items as well!!
