Bike hooks and supports

A bicycle floor stand is a simple accessory that can be very useful in many circumstances, both at home and on the street. They will also be essential as a bicycle display or display in a business dedicated to the sale or maintenance of bicycles.

A good floor stand can be used to perform some simple operations, such as small adjustments, maintenance and cleaning.

There are many kinds of these types of stands. The rear hub bike mount is a practical and simple model, which is seen in many bike stores, due to its versatility. There are supports of this type on the market that add height adjustment, to accommodate different bicycle sizes, such as the Pro support adjustable to the hub.

Another type of widely used floor supports are those that hold the rear wheel of the bike with a tubular structure. These supports accept many different wheel sizes, in terms of diameter and width of the tire. They are safe and very easy to use.

Those that hold the bike taking advantage of the cranks or the hollow bottom bracket are somewhat more specific, valid for some crank models. We are talking about products like the Pro support for hollow bottom bracket.

Another frequently used model is the folding stand that, when unfolded, fixes the rear wheel to its structure, fitting it over the lower part of the support that rests on the ground, and holding it with its folding arm thanks to the force of a spring. A good example is the Xlc VS-F03 folding stand.

Valid for many types of bikes, even heavy ones, are the supports that consist of a base and a vertical tube with hooks to hold the bike by the pods and straps of the bike frame, and that can be adjustable. This is the case of the Topeak TuneUp Stand X rack.

In many circumstances it is best to place the bicycle rack on a wall or ceiling. There are many supports of this type, from simple hooks to complex supports with ingenious systems to optimize space and facilitate storage or parking of the bike. There are racks of this type for a single bike or for several units.

There are racks to hold the bicycle that attach to different parts of it, such as its wheels or the frame. A simple model for a wall and a single bike is, for example, the Topeak Solo Bici holder, with two adjustable hooks and capable of supporting a bike weighing up to 16 kilos on its frame.

Of the typical universal hooks for hanging the bike, covered with some material that prevents friction, there are a large number of models. They are economical and easy to install screwed to a base placed on the ceiling or wall.

Somewhat more elaborate are the wall mounts such as the Topeak Turn-Up Bike Hook mount. This accessory allows you to rotate the bicycle hanging and held by its front wheel, along with a small stand to support the rear without staining the wall. They are ideal for making the most of space.

With a similar philosophy, but without the possibility of turning the bike, there are many different wall mounts, some especially elegant for the home and minimalist like the Cycloc Endo Mount.

When what we need is to do certain maintenance operations on our bike, the most appropriate thing will be bicycle work stands. This applies both to professionals, for whom a work stand will be essential, and to any cyclist who wants to carry out the same maintenance tasks and some basic repairs at home. Obviously, the professional workshop rack will usually be much more robust and expensive, but a simple and inexpensive folding rack, such as the Mammoth Fixbike rack, can be a great help for hobby use.

In this type of work supports, in addition to the price, we will have to consider more carefully its characteristics, such as: stability, bike or clamp attachment system, possible height and angle adjustment, portability, ease of deployment or installation, compatible bike wheel measurements, maximum weight allowed, accessories included, etc.
