I store my bike next to a wall in apartment behind my sofa. Is this stand a good choice to keep it from damaging the wall and sofa?

Yes if you secure it with rubber bands and keep the front wheel straight and don't touch it! I also have a bike trainer and it's much better! used one is about $30-$100

It works better with one . Of my bikes but not as well with other. Sorry but hard to say fort all bikes.

Yes, as long as you secure the bike to the stand with the rubber rings. These rubber rings come with the stand.

Yes, its a good choice, even if you have a 29er bike it will fit, and whenever you dont want to use it you can fold it and keep it... Hope this answer helps you.

It keeps the rear tire elevated off the ground and the bike strait up. The stand is not wider than your handlebars so as long as there is room for the stand to for between the wall and sofa the bike will stand freely on the ground without touching anything else.

I put a nail into a stud through the hole at the top of the frame. In that environment one bike on top, none on the bottom would be fine. Without that support I have more concerns about safety i.e; taking a bike of the top of a stand that is supported via balance only.

David , I feel this is a good stand and should work well, Just remember if you lift the rear, the front wheel needs to be locked and blocked so it will not slip to the right or left and will of course not roll forward off the stand. I would also try to stabilize the bike right to left considering the width, bags, guards, lights.I dropped a 19" wheel and the height of the stand allowed me to remove the wheel at a slant. good luck and be safe.

Its very stable I don't have mine attached to the actual wall. It is against a wall I use it for bottles and varies wine/spirits glasses for display. It's about a year since I purchased this item and have not experienced any problems at all. I don't regret this purchase, I do recommend it to other its easy to assemble and perfect shelve unit for any usage.

It is stable enough to stand securely without wall anchoring. However, if I lived in say California with earthquakes, I would wall mount.

We keep ours stored 'this way' in the bathroom... it slightly is leaning between the wall and a cabinet. This also keeps it stationary and from tipping over... so far this way hasn't been a problem.

If you use foam tape, you can build uo the surface to allow adequate support. We used that on my bike with great success. My only caution is watch the battery life. Don't leave your unit turned on when you store your bike! The system could use a little design tweaking, but it is a pretty good device for biking safety.

It really needs to go up against the wall and screwed into the wall at the top, preferably into a stud or cinder block garage wall because it's not going to stand by itself when you put a bike or two on it. I have mine in my garage screwed into the wall and it works fine that way. Don't expect it to be safe unless you attach it to a wall.

Yes, This assumes that you have a wall to attach it to. Once attached, it will allow you to maintain clearance between the bike and the wall. When not in use it swings out of the way. I have been extremely happy with mind.

Yes you can. It stands vertically, and the feet curve out a bit to ensure that it won't fall away from the wall with either one or two bikes hung from it.

Yes. Lean it slightly toward the wall and it should be fine. Be careful with children around however. I store mine against the wall between a dresser and a desk so it is safe from falling over. it could also be stored under a bed as it folds up rather flat.

I have mine on the floor horizontally with mostly albums (very heavy). It is very study and I think would be fine for what you want to use it for. Since albums are heavy I didn't want to mount it on a wall but I am very pleased with the shelves.

It stands alone perfectly fine. If you want to put it in the middle of the room you can without a problem. The only issue this bike rack has is with slanted bike frames. With straight bike frames it works like a charm.

Yes and no. Why this answer if you do not have a kickstand and your Yardstash is up against a wall or fence then your bike can have something to lean against. If you do have a kickstand (in your case you do not have one) I would recommend put a something flat like a small piece a plywood between the stand and the floor of the Yardstash otherwise it could wear or pierce a hole and we don't want that to happen. There are self supporting bike stands in the suggestion list.

Sure, it can be put up against a regular wall. No problem. BTWm I've had it about a month now and it's just fine. If you don't "need" fancy furniture this is a very nice solution.

I believe you could but you should make sure that the unit is attached directly to a wall stud or if not that the anchor and wall material will support the weight of the bike.

Yes and No &gt; the stand only supports the front or back wheel and it will keep the bike erect if there is no "adventurous" pushes as the back end of the bike or front wheel will rotate and tip it on it's side. My 5 year old granddaughter would inadvertently push it over by playing with the handlebars or "crashing" into it while running helter skelter oblivious to any obstacles in her path. I put my bike in the garage when my granddaughter visits as she always tries to ride it or play with it and yes it did fall on her during one of her escapades prompting the garage storage when she visits.
