    Proud of myself

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I am NOT mechanically inclined, so am quite pleased this went together so easily. I am a little nervous about my lovely custom steel steed being on top - but I tell myself this is what the stand is designed for and it isn't going to tip over and destroy my bikes. Unless there is an earthquake, and we don't get many of those in Central Indiana

    There was an earthquake there when I was 17 years old, but that looks solid enough to take it. Nicely done.

    Thanks for the encouragement, I can't attach anything to the wall and was needing to hear that it looks sturdy enough to take it - as long as I don't do something to make it tip over - like try to put LHT on top or something silly like that. Not that I COULD get the LHT on top

    Awesome, thanks! The box said the limit was two bikes and 40 pounds - but figured that had to be per bike... It is good to hear from someone who has the same rack
