RAD Cycle Products Unisex's 83-DT5235 2005 Heavy Duty Bike Lift Garage Storage 100lb Capacity Mountain Bicycle Hoist, Black

Installation assez simple mais par contre il faut aider la montée du vélo . La corde est très longue , je vais sans doute installé un treuil manuel pour plus de facilité.

As some other reviews have noted, the install can be a bit tricky. I decided to mount the pulleys to a 2x4 sitting on top the rafters in my garage because I wanted to get the bike as far above the floor as possible. This also made the installation easier because I was able to get the pulleys positioned and screwed to the 2x4 while I was standing on the floor instead of trying to do it while up on a ladder. First I measured the bike to gauge the approximate distance the pulleys should be from one another. Then, I taped the pulleys to the board using strong gorilla tape. Next I suspended the board at about eye level between a ladder and a shelf in my garage, threaded the rope through the pulleys, and attached the hooks to my bike and gave it a try at ground level more or less. (Had the tape not held the pulley brackets in place for the test I would have used some small screws as temporary holders but the tape actually held it fine so I didn't need to do that.) Once I confirmed that the bracket placement was correct, I attached the pulley brackets to the 2x4's using the screws provided. Others have noted the screw quality it not very good. I think that's correct, but by drilling the proper size pilot hole I didn't have any trouble with them. Next, with the brackets attached to the 2x4, before I got up on the ladder and finagled the two before into place above the rafters. Once in the position I wanted, I drilled a 1-in hole through the rafter in between the brackets so that the line could pass through without any friction. See picture of this as well. During the first two initial tests my bike fell. My seat doesn't have a lip on the back of it and the hooks just slid off, allowing the bike to fall. I used a vice and a heavy mallet to bend the metal on the ends of the hooks so they would not be as likely to slip off the handlebars or the seat. I ultimately decided to use the hooks grabbing the seat rotated 180° from what is recommended so that they grab the seat from the front. See the picture I posted. With those modifications it works fine and doesn't seem likely to slip off. Some have noted that it lifts the bike unevenly. That is true. I lift the bike most of the way up, then pull down on the end of the bike that is higher, and then finish raising it the rest of the way. The total install took me about 2 hours, but it was worth it. Space is at a premium in my garage, and I don't have any wall space left to mount a bike, so this product was the perfect solution and I'm glad I bought it. I would highly recommend it just be aware you need to allow time to adapt it to your specific situation.

This is actually very neat! Works easy. There is def some drilling/screwing involved so be sure to have those close. Very happy with the quality of all parts and once installed its easy to operate. It has a break for when you want to take down the bicycle, it wont just fall down. It does hang a little low, if you are a tall person - watch your head

Took some effort to install but works well & frees up garage floor space.
