Bicycle Storage for Enthusiasts: Buller's Adjustable Bike Rack
In the quest for efficient storage solutions, cyclists are often faced with the challenge of managing the awkward size and shape of bicycles, especially when dealing with different handlebar widths. Here are some of the best options for storing multiple bicycles, as recommended by experts.
The **Swivel Mount Bike Storage Rack** is a wall-mounted solution that stores up to four bikes side by side. Each hook swivels independently, preventing tangled handlebars and optimising limited wall space effectively.
**Adjustable Horizontal Wall Mounts with PVC-Dipped Hooks** are another option. These mounts hold bikes horizontally, freeing up floor space underneath. Adjustable arms and a modular design accommodate different bike sizes and handlebar widths, while PVC-dipped hooks protect and securely hold bikes.
For those who cannot mount their storage system on walls or ceilings, **Freestanding Bike Racks with Adjustable Rubber-Dipped Hooks** offer a flexible solution. These compact racks can store multiple bikes and feature adjustable hooks that fit different handlebar widths while protecting rims and handlebars.
If ceiling or wall space is limited, consider **Vertical Hooks on Sliding Tracks**. Mounted on ceilings or walls, these hooks slide sideways to allow access to any bike without removing others. Large hooks suit all wheel sizes and prevent the need to move bikes around excessively.
Lastly, **Pivoting Wall-Mounted Racks**, such as the Steadyrack, allow bikes to be stored flat against the wall and then pivoted sideways when needed. This saves floor space and reduces interference between handlebars, making it easier to store bikes with different widths.
For those looking for a more specific solution, the **Buller System** is a 1.5m length track with five hooks that retail for £139.04. It can accommodate a deepest rim of 40mm and is fixed to a cut-down length of gravel board, which is then secured to the rafters in the garage roof. The hooks on the Buller system can be set up to not rotate, and it requires three ceiling track joining brackets. The system components are industrial grade and come with a 25-year warranty.
When fixing the Buller system, it's important to leave enough space for the hanging bikes to avoid them catching the wall. Assembly requires multiple parts, including star washers, bolts, brackets, and trolleys, and may require two 17mm spanners to ensure they're done up tight enough.
In conclusion, these solutions combine adaptability for various handlebar widths, ease of access, and significant floor space savings, suitable for garages, apartments, or sheds with limited space. Additionally, using pegboards or other wall-mounted tool organizers can help keep bike accessories and tools tidy and off the floor, enhancing overall space efficiency.
