TransIt Bikes Aloft Storage Rack (XR-810) (2 Bikes)
I bought this one (my third) for use at my office. It's a very sturdy and stable rack, and easy to adjust for different styles of bikes; I don't think twice to hang my touring bike on (on the lower arms though!).
I really want to give this 4 1/2 stars. Minor faults:
- the threads on the adjustable feet should be longer to allow for really uneven floors. I had to shim the feet on this one to make it stand truly vertical in it's designated space.
- you have to be careful tightening the bolts securing the uprights to the base legs. You could easily crush the uprights by overtightening the bolts; there should be spacers included to prevent this.
- the cradles feel more like plastic than hard rubber, and have a deep-vee cut to them. This isn't a problem for round tube steel or aluminum bikes, but it would be nice if there were optional cradles that are softer and have a shallower cut to them to accommodate carbon bikes; I wrapped the cradles on my home stand with old tubes to hang my gravel bike.

This is the best rack in my opinion for storing bikes. We now have 3 of them and they just work really well.

Our bike stand arrived on time and was easily set up. Everything worked as advertised. The big thisg for us is that it was half the price of a similar, name brand available for Amazon.

This “tower” of this rack is well made and stable. However, the securing bolts for adjusting the height of the arms have these absurdly tiny knobs on which you cannot get a sufficient grip to tighten them to ensure they will not suddenly slide down the rack or fall off altogether. Also, the rubber V-notch bike cradles hold the bikes nicely, but they slide along the arms when you try to mount a bike on them or take one down, frequently coming completely off in the latter case. These frustrations spoil the experience with what could be an excellent product.

Needed another vertical bike rack. So, having already ordered this same rack from Bike Nashbar a couple years ago I purchased another. Completely satisfied, although getting a mtb mounted on the bars does take some clever adaptations...just sayin". (Consider your frame geometry when buying...mtb mounting is do-able, just not straight forward.)

It seems sturdy enough, it needs somewhat better assembly instructions. I had mine delivered with some damage (dents) but fully usable. Space saver

I like a lot of people got back into bikes during this Covid crisis. I normally kept a bike in the basement and one in garage. This bike rack solved the space issue and keeps both of my bikes in one place, the garage .The order arrived in 24 hours and also had the Labor Day discount on it. Very sturdy rack and easy to assemble. I’m glad i bought it. I have had nothing but good outcomes while buying through Nashbar.

This is the second one I've bought from Nashbar. It's in silver instead of black but the quality is the same or maybe better than my original that was purchase about 5 years ago. They are nice sturdy stands and assemble fairly easily.
