Installing a wall-mounted bike rack: preparation
Before installing your bike rack, prepare the necessary equipment. To mount a wall bike rack, you will need a drill, a spirit level, and the screws provided with your bike rack. The quality of your bike rack installation depends primarily on good preparation.
Step 1: choosing the location for the bike rack
The location is crucial for a wall bike rack. Your bike rack must be attached to a solid wall, ideally a load-bearing wall. Place your bike rack at a height that allows you to easily unhook the bike. Ensure there is enough space around your future bike rack.
Step 2: marking the attachment points
Place your bike rack against the wall and use a spirit level to make it perfectly horizontal. Mark the screw points for your bike rack with a pencil. A poorly aligned bike rack will cause your bike to tilt in an unsightly way.
Step 3: drilling and attaching the bike rack
Drill the holes using a drill bit suitable for your type of wall. Insert the wall plugs, then screw your bike rack in firmly. Check that the bike rack is rigid: it must absolutely not move. A properly secured bike rack can support several tens of kilos without any problem.
Step 4: hanging the bike on the bike rack
Once your bike rack is attached, hang your bike. Depending on the model of bike rack chosen, the handling is different.
