HornitRoadie Bike Rack

When we moved to a new home I wanted to find a good solution for our bicycles in the garage, so I picked one of these up to give it a try.It works fine in general, but I have a few minor issues that would cause me to not buy any others:*If you bump into the bike it is likely to fall from the mount*you really need to keep your tires well inflated to avoid the bike falling on its own. Not a problem with bikes that are used often enough, but I have at least one that gets little use and this causes an issue.Note that I "fixed" these issues slightly by adding some velcro behind the strap around the wheel. This solution is a little bit of a pain and makes using the mount far less convenient than it could be.Given the cost of the CLUG, I will likely be using another solution, such as cheaper screw-in rubber coated hooks instead.

My roommate and I needed a way to efficiently store our multiple bikes without taking up a lot of space in our apartment or putting anchor holes in the wall. I got 3 of these CLUGs and installed each to a section of painted baseboard trim. I then used CommandStrips to adhere the trim to the wall (very solid hold against sheering forces). When its time to move, the CommandStrips will pull free without damaging the paint and I can take my snazzy little racks to their new home.With a small guard at the back-tire position to avoid marring the base of the wall, the bikes hang perfectly, neatly, and I didn't have to endanger my damage deposit.The CLUGs also work as advertised. I've had one bike fall over the last 6 months because I had a leak in the front tire and it went flat. Keep your tires inflated (at least above 15 psi I reckon), and you'll be fine.

I've purchased the small and medium size Clugs for differing tire sizes, and had fitment issues with both products. The Clug says it can fit a range of tire sizes in its description. However, if your tires are on the smaller size of the spectrum for your particular Small/Medium/Large Clug, I can virtually guarantee it will not fit. It will slide in, and then slide right back out without being held in place like the product is supposed to do. So just keep that in mind before you buy. If your bike is more in the middle or upper range of the dimensions, then this should work fine.Side note - The first Clug I purchased was missing the wall anchor and had to be exchanged. Wasn't a big ideal but still bothersome to buy a new product that doesn't include everything it's supposed to come with.

I bought the Hornit to keep my bike upright (I'm clipping the front tire on it while both tires on the ground, horizontally) in my condo and unfortunately it was a disappointing purchase.For starters, there is no room for error when drilling holes for this thing. I was about a millimeter off on one of the screws and had to drill a larger hole in order to get the screw to line up with it. And the size of the hole you need to drill is much bigger than I had anticipated...Also, one of the screws I received was defective so thankfully I had one laying around that I could use.My bike tire is 32mm so I purchased the smallest Hornit after reading a review that said it would be better to have it snug than too loose. With my tire right on the edge of the small one and the next size up, I just don't think it's fully compatible with my bike. It takes some force to get it to clip in and once it's clipped, if I tip my bike over a few inches, it falls right over. Maybe the next size up would be better but I'm concerned that one would be too loose.I guess it will sort of do it's job as long as one handle bar uses the wall for support. I can't imagine that this thing could hold my bike up if I was trying to prop the front wheel up to hold it vertically. My bike is a Giant Escape so maybe it's just too heavy for the size of this clip.It's definitely overpriced at a $20 price point. $10 would be much more reasonable for a small piece of plastic and two screws.

These things are awesome!I have two mountain bikes, and I used to have them stood up in the corner of my dining room, with all of my gear just thrown all over in that same area. Eventually, I just got sick of how it looked. It was time to make a change, and after seeing these featured on YouTube by Seth's Bike Hacks, I decided to pick two of them up and see what I could do.Installation was fairly simple. I followed the instructions and headed to my local hardware store to buy the correct size of drill bit. After that, installation was a snap! My tires fit snugly into the CLUG and I have no worries about them coming loose and the bikes falling onto the floor (I mounted them vertically to save space). All in all, these are amazing!
