Best 1973 BMW 3 Series Bike Storages

Mounting this to a single stud will not work, a load of 2 or more bicycles will cause the stud to move or split. I mounted mine to a 2x10 nailed to two studs, and then needed to reinforce that with more screws. After mounting carrier and adding three bikes, the unit felt like it might still cause that support to fail. So I supported the carrier with a block of wood at the point where it turns vertical, near the bikes. This unit needs more mounting holes, bigger screws, and it would much better if it were designed to span two studs with an upper and lower bar.

The Swagman X Mount Bike Carrier Storage Rack - Wall Mount rack really freed up floor space in our garage. We purchased two (2) mounts as we have a two bike Swagman rack and a four bike Hollywood rack. We use both bike racks with our RV and tow vehicle when the whole family travels with us. With the bike racks stored in the upright position on the Swagman storage racks, I can have our second car car in the garage. We used a 3/4 inch plywood backing for the wall mounts which allowed me to install the wall mounts between two wall studs. The four bake rack is mounted low on the wall and the two bike rack is mount just above it about shoulder height. Both racks are easy to remove and put in place for storage. The Swagman X Mount Bike Carrier Storage Rack - Wall Mount Rack is a real space saver.
