9 Steadyrack installation with only 10.5" spacing. Easy for kids to use bike rack!

- My installation of the Steadyrack vertical wall racks is much closer spaced than anyone else I've seen mount them. Bike storage for an entire family can be really challenging, and so this is how I've managed to cram in as many bikes per linear feet of wall space as possible. I have a mix of Steadyrack's fender racks and mountain bike racks, and they work well for our adult and kids bikes: downhill, enduro, cyclocross, and hybrid, from 20" to 27.5" wheels.
This video covers the tradeoffs and considerations if you want to space each Steadyrack much less than recommended. It also showcases how easy it is to use the bikes, even by little kids! Hoping this helps spark some ideas of how you can optimize your installation in your garage, workshop, apartment, etc. Please like and subscribe, and be sure to comment to share your bike storage experiences. Cheers!

- Emmy 8 years old, riding a 20" Spawn Rokkusuta (his 20" Spawn Savage 2.0 hardtail can also be seen in the video)

Thanks for posting this, helps quite a bit in figuring out some of the many challenges.
Nice! Very well articulated!
Thanks! Hope it helps with your bike storage plans ☺️

Would love to see how you made your wooden frame!
Using a bunch of 2x4's ripped in half lengthwise, I mounted a top rail into the ceiling, a bottom rail along the floor (but screwed into the wall with a wooden bracket so I didn't screw into the floor), and then screwed the vertical rails to the top and bottom rails. I hope that describes it well enough :)
What rack type did your knolly bike use? What tire size? It seems like it stuck a bit when you tried to pull out.
It's a Steady rack MTB. The front tire of my Knolly is a 27.5 DHF 2.5. Depending on how the side knobs end up sitting on the rack - when the steel tubing happens to sit right in the trough right between two knobs - it can sometimes take a bit of a tug to get it out.
Thanks. I have a 29x2.6 specialized eliminator tire, I am wondering if the fat rack would be better. I just dont want the wheel floppy in the rack
