How to measure your bike
When deciding between our different bike racks, it comes down to tire diameter (A), wheel diameter (B) and if you have fenders/mudguards.
Match your tire width and wheel diameter to our bike rack types to find the best Steadyrack to suit your bike. Learn more about measuring your bike.

Will hanging my bike damage the bike frame or forks?
Hanging a bike in Steadyrack will not cause any damage to your bike. No part of the bike frame touches the rack, only the front tire, which is cradled in the steel arms.
Are Steadyrack bike racks safe to use for bikes with hydraulic brakes/forks/suspensions?
Yes! This a common concern for many bike owners with these types of brakes and suspension. When your bike is hung up vertically, the fluid in your forks will run towards the seals and keep them lubricated. This will prolong their use, so it’s actually good for your bike and forks to hang it vertically on our bike racks. If you have hydraulic brakes on your bike, the fluid will run down when the bike is hung, so we advise pumping the brakes a few times when you take the bike off the rack if it’s been there for a while. The shocks shouldn’t leak when the bike is hung up, however if they do then it’s a good indication that the seals might need replacing. Read our blog post for more information about storing bikes with hydraulic brakes in Steadyracks.
Can I lock my bike to a Steadyrack?
You can lock your bikes into our racks with a D Lock or Chain lock. This is sufficient to prevent opportunist theft and adequate if your bikes are stored in a private carpark. If your bikes are in a location fully accessible to the public, we recommend installing a bracket or a steel rail to the wall underneath the rack to attach a locking device to. As with everything, take caution when storing your bike in a public place, as professional thieves can generally get around any locking system.
Do the racks swing freely?
Steadyracks are assembled using a specific tension for the nuts (torque setting = 5nm) that holds the central spine to the top and bottom mounting brackets. This setting is designed to give sufficient tension to the pivot to ensure bikes can be loaded on any angle without the rack moving around too much. When you remove the 2 plastic caps from the top and bottom, the nuts are exposed. You can loosen both nuts to free up the rack more, and equally you can tighten them to lock the rack into position. We recommend you maintain them so the racks are stiff but can still be pivoted. The rack can be quite stiff when you use it for the first few times then it loosens up a bit. This is due to the type of fiber washers we use to assist with the stiffening effect.
Can I lock my Steadyrack into one position or any angle?
It is not possible to lock the rack solid in one position. However, you can tighten the nuts so the rack will become stiff and will effectively hold it in the one position. To do this, first remove the two, plastic mounting bracket covers (End Caps). Next, tighten the two nuts that attach the central pivot bar to the mounting brackets. If you follow these steps, we recommend checking your fixings carefully and making sure they are very secure as any sideways pressure on the rack could damage the mounting bracket.
Are Steadyracks suitable for apartments?
Yes our racks are ideal for apartment buildings where the parking is in a secure environment and not exposed directly to the elements.

- BOBob O.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoExcellent bike racks
My garage was a disgusting mess, not helped by our bikes always being in the way and taking up too much space. I wanted a solution to let me maximise my space and easily get out a bike without having to move all the others first. So I bought one fat rack and three mountain bike racks, I have mine mounted in space-saving mode (staggered alternatively high and low about 40cms apart) so I now have 4 bikes taking up only 1.6m of garage wall. They are super easy to install and use, and they feel strong and well-made. I'm really pleased with them - I can now get any bike out with no effort, just swing the others aside and out it comes, dead easy.
