I just bought this rack to create a bit more storage room. The rack stores 4 bikes more or less securely. However, the bikes are spaced so far apart that it takes the same space as the same 4 bikes standing side by side. I arranged the bikes so I was able to fit in 6 and it seems okay. I don't know if it will create issues eventually. Does anybody else have experience with this rack? There are numerous reviews on Amazon but they're not from bike collectors and nobody has addressed the matter of storing six bikes on it. Any other ideas for storage?

Sorry for the lying down picture. Can't be uploaded right side up. If you know how, can you please repost?

Seems like it would be fine for regular but lignt rider bikes.

But too janky for a nice bike like your Super Leggera. Some bike or another is going to get scratched every time someone bumps into the rack, let alone loads or unloads a bike. I guess you could pipe-insulate bikes first.

I think you're right. I'm hoping that somebody here would have an alternative. I can't seem to find anything better with Google search. Unless of course, one goes the custom built route.

Harbor Freight maybe?

The wall version of your present Racor stand is pretty good if you have wall space.

Storing bikes is tough and it takes up a lot of space unless they are boxed.

Do you rent? If you don't have to worry about a landlord why not mount a 2x4, nicely finished, on the wall and put some hooks on it? Then you can mount a 1x3 to catch the bottom tire. If you alternate up/down/up/down you can get more in a small space.

You can always store the Bottecchia in my garage...plenty of hook space in the rafters.

I have three of those harbor freight racks. They're the best.

Can the 700c wheels support the weight of the bikes for an indefinite period?

Thank for the pic assist. My bikes are already stored on individual stands very close together. Hanging them by the hooks will save some floor area but not linearly if you know what I mean. It won't increase the number of bikes I can store in the same width of the room.

Here's a picture of the harbor freight rack loaded. The wheels can handle the load no problem. I've had some of those bikes hanging like that for decades.

thanks for the photo of it set up with bikes on it...did it come with the casters?

What's the total width, from outside of white handlebar to outside of red handlebar?

The stand comes with the casters. The widest point from the wall (white handlebars) to the black handlebars in back is about 58". From the back wall to the hoods on the orange handlebars is about 54"

I have a similar setup made from two of the typical two-bike stands placed back-to-back and lashed together. Securing the top in some fashion would be prudent. I have hung three frames in place of one bike, but only four complete bikes will fit.

Six of my bikes on individual stands on the floor take up 54 inches of width. As I'm more concerned with width than depth, I really need to go double deck to create additional space. Are there better options than the Racor?

Pix?

I have two of these and have several bikes on each one. I did buy 3/4 pipe insulation for Home Depot for the uprights on the stands and frames.
Also nice to be able to move the stands around easily.

Not the best pic but you get the idea- couple of typical racks and a bit of duct tape.
