Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Figured the negative reviews were just sour grapes. Should have paid attention and now Ive got a broken rack and a goofed up wall.
First lets start with the rack, it is NOT shiny chrome/stainless with grey hook covers. It is painted dull matte grey and the paint was scuffed from box wear over about 30% of its area. The wood shelf looked bad like it was a recycled grade school desktop complete with scuffs and marks which wold not wipe off. The grey covers pictured are instead a garish red that would be more at home in the garage instead of mounting a fancy road bike in the living room where this was to go. So to sum up it looks like crap all the way around.
Since I ignored my better judgement I decided to install it anyway just to have some place to get the bike out of the way. Should have been simple, drill two holes into the drywall and studs and secure with 2 included wood screws. One screw went in ok though it was a chore not to strip the head as it was a very cheap and soft screw. Second screw had the head TWIST RIGHT OFF as I got it close to seated. This was using a hand screw driver in pre drilled holes before anyone thinks it was some impact driver or trying to gorilla hands it into an undrilled stud.
How cheap does a screw have to be to break off from being twisted into place like that? I guess it was a blessing as now all I have is a broken screw that is sunk 2 inches into my wall, protruding 1mm out of the drywall where it will be impossible to remove without cutting the wall open to get more purchase on the shaft and then patching the drywall and repainting. Think I will just file it down and paint it instead so I dont look at it and get pissed all the time. But this was as I say a blessing as it could have broken with my carbon fiber road bike hanging on it causing a LOT more grief and expense.
Don't buy this rack, you will regret it. Its ugly, badly made and will probably break and hurt your bike in the process.
