Topeak Dual Touch Bike Storage Stand – Reviews

This is the perfect storage solution for people who want/need to store their bikes up and out of the way indoors but can’t attach something to the walls (i.e., renters). With additional hangers, it can support up to four bikes using both sides. It’s very adjustable to support nearly any kind of bike and it only took a few tries to get it to fit my full suspension MTB just right. For a hardtail or road bike, it’s even easier.

Because this uses pressure between the floor and ceiling, make SURE you set it up directly below a joist or use an 18″ section of 2×4 to span between two joists. Otherwise, the only support you’ll have is the drywall or plaster. If the drywall doesn’t crack when you first put it up, you’ll likely have the rack falling over at some point since it won’t have enough pressure to keep resisting gravity in the long run.

I’m very happy with this stand so far. I bought it to store my mountain bike and my road bike in my laundry room. The room has a slick vinyl floor and drywall ceiling, but all four walls are plaster against solid brick, so a wall-mounted rack wasn’t practical. It is very important to place the stand directly under a ceiling joist. If you have flat ceilings, joists are easy to locate with a cheap stud-finder. To alleviate my worries about the base slipping on the vinyl floor, I took a scrap of non-slip rug pad (shelf liner would work too, something like this: Griptex Wonderliner Extra 20 by 60-Inch Roll, White) and cut out a circle the same size as the base of the stand to help create some friction with the floor. Then it’s just a matter of getting the stand good and tight, which wasn’t difficult.

Like some of the other commenters, I was concerned because the brake cable on my road bike runs underneath the top tube of the frame, which can lead to pressure on the cable when its sittin

I bought this rack to safely store mine and my husband’s hybrid bicycles in our garage. This rack does a great job of freeing up space and giving the bikes a nice place to live instead of just having them leaned up against a wall.

The good parts: The rack is of a great quality, well constructed, and simple to assemble. The arms are padded which is a nice feature, and can be angled as well–I imagine that would be a great asset for storing a woman’s bike. The height of the arms can also be adjusted. After installing it in the garage, the rack seems very secure and sturdy.

The bad parts: it’s kind of a pain to install. I wanted to make sure the tension was very tight so the pole wouldn’t slip when the bikes were, but it’s incredibly difficult to achieve this. The first step is adjusting the height of the pole, and the second step is depressing the foot locking mechanism to lock the pole in place. Seems simple, but it took entirely too long: the height seemed right, but then I

Had this for 15 months and this is not very stable. Maybe due to the seasonal contraction and expansion in my garage, the spring tension in the pole has given way at least 3 times, twice the stand slipped off the ceiling joist stud on its own. But once it is installed, it is great but if you live in a zone where the temps in your garage varies greatly with the season, watch out!!!
