storage saver. After the headache of an install onto the ceiling of my garage (tall garage; drywall); these bike racks work wonders. I bought 2 after seeing a neighbor had a similar lift. Thinking it’d be good for our bikes I quickly got em and tried to install them (Note tried).
It took a little while to figure out the best way to get them onto the garage ceiling, though after the struggle in the install, I’m loving the space. They easily lift each bike smoothly and the lock mechanism is simple; just like a window blind. The rope so far has held up though is rough on the hands when sliding through your grip.
Overall, these bike lifts are great. They are well worth the hassle of installing them, and some may have an easier time with studs exposed in the garage.
Great Quality – Easy to Install and Use. I purchased five of these bike lifts. They were easy to install and are easy to use. The quality is great. Before I purchased, I had read comments about the rope quality and had some trepedation. However, the rope that came with the five I purchased is top-notch.
Loved Master Lock 8127TRI Bike Lock/Cable Blue Green and Red 3-Pack as well!!. We ordered this product along with the hyloft shelf to use the wasted space on the ceiling in the garage. I really like it! It was medium difficulty putting up and we reinforced it by using a piece of 2×4. It worked great. The only drawback is that the rope frays in some spots but it still holds the bikes up. I do recommend this product to anyone who has a rather small garage and need more storage.
