Good rack, but needs more clearance from wall
My bikes fit pretty good, one older Trek 820 steel hybrid/road bike, and a newer Trek Fuel EX 8 mountain bike. The mountain bike frame is a bit funky, so had to get creative on how I placed the arms, one under the seat nose, other under the bottom frame. The rack went together easy, good quality, looks nice, and it's pretty sturdy for a gravity system. I have confidence it won't fall over with my two somewhat big bikes, one a heavier steel bike. Only issue is that both my bike's handlebars hit the wall, I need about 5" more clearance (see pics). I could twist the wheels but then the tire hit the wall. I stood the bike rack near a window so my handlebars extend into the window frame (beyond the wall) for now, but this isn't a permanent good location or solution. I emailed the company and they say they sell longer arms but only 3" longer, so these still won't work for my bikes. I plan to mount something to the top back of the rack to give it 5" more clearance to remedy my situation, just not sure yet what I'll use so it doesn't look trashy. Company had good response to my emails, just don't have a solution for this issue. I think if you have traditional road bike handlebars (curled round), you ought to be okay, but for bikes with straight handlebars, beware! Still, I do love the rack besides this one issue.*Note: I did NOT receive a discount on this item for my honest review. I bought it for the normal price Amazon had it listed for, so you know for sure that my review isn't biased. It's a good rack.UPDATE 9 months later: Now that I've had the rack a while I wanted to update on the handlebar/wall issue. I decided not to attach something to the top back of the rack for stability purposes. I went ahead and bought 4 longer arms from the rack company... even though I had my doubts that they'd remedy my situation. But they do with a little positioning: I angle the back tires closer to the wall by swinging the holding arms to the outside, which allows the front of the frames and tires to be further away from the wall. My handlebars just barely clear the wall (within an inch), so it works. I also bought a pair of Park Tool HBH-2 handle bar holder that keeps the wheel from pivoting, which helps ensure it stays parallel to the wall (no tire twist). The 4 arms and handle bar holder increases the overall cost of this set up for me specifically, but figure it's the best way to go vs. other bike racks that I've tried out. I'm careful not to bump it, and I'm extra careful when placing and removing the bikes, or I'll have dings in my wall. Still love the rack!

Yes, It Works
Purchased this stand after lengthy research regarding 2-bike stands. I'll admit there was a little skepticism about how well it would work. Was pleasantly surprised as soon as I opened the box. The contents were well packaged. Individual parts were double wrapped for protection. The material is sturdy and the protective coating looks handsome. Assembly was easy, but make sure you have a partner to help. There's little margin for error when screwing the supports together. Screws require precise alignment and insertion, so a helping hand makes it easier. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the precision and resulting snug fit. The stand is now leaning against a wall in the garage supporting two bikes weighing a combined 66 pounds. It's sturdy and my initial skepticism has disappeared. Truly pleased with this purchase.

Arms move very easily, and bikes will slowly slide off
This looked like the perfect solution to keep our bikes in the garage while taking up minimal space. It looks cool, to boot.The rack does hold two bikes, and it's easy enough to get them on and off. The biggest issue is with the "arms" which actually hold the bikes. They've got some rubber-like sleeves which don't grip the arms very well. They also slide on the frame too easily, so if you arrange them so your bike is level (which is necessary if you want to fit two bikes, otherwise the wheels of the bikes will be in the way of eachother), then one arm will slowly rotate and slide down until your bike is resting on the floor. I've tried different orientations of each bike, but the arms just rotate way too easily to trust them completely.

Sturdy Rack
The rack is great and perfect for my pain cave. I keep a few bikes upstairs so I don't have to keep moving them back and forth and wanted some organization; this rack fit the bill. Everything is good except one minor flaw which is not that bad. The rubber around the arms where the hangers wrap around the rack are very thin and weak. When you go to adjust the arms, you can easy rip/tear the rubber. You just have to be careful. Other than that, the rack is solid.

Holds an Electra Cruiser 7 and has a little trouble with rear carriers. .
We have an Electra Cruiser 7 on the top. Because it is a wide (women’s) bike it wasn’t super easy to get it to fit, but it did. I wanted to put my “normal” bike (with a rear seat toddler carrier) on the bottom but it doesn’t really fit in the “lifts” because of the carrier and other awkward bike above it. It doesn’t have room to rest below, because I have a kickstand. If I didn’t have the rear seat carrier I wouldn’t have the kickstand, but also it would fit. Basically it seems to do as advertised and can hoist an Electra Cruizer 7 without the purchase of any attachments.

Great space efficiency, but some issues
If you're wondering whether a two-legged bicycle stand will be sturdy enough to hold two bicycles, so am I - and it's now in my garage. What this stand offers is 10-minute setup and extreme space efficiency. But take the bikes off delicatedly so as not to pull the stand away from the wall. And while each orange hook is rated to 25 lbs, thereby making the maximum rated bicycle weight 50 lbs, time will tell whether these hooks suffer metal fatigue and they start to bend. Hopefully not.Installation Notes:Keep hex screws very loosely threaded until the very end, since alignment between holes is not perfect.O-Rings are to prevent sliding resistance to hooks, and are not designed to go between tube fittings.
