Is there any reason I couldn't install this indoors? I don't have a garage, but I do have a room to hang my Terry bike in.

If you have high ceilings it will work. A wall hook may be as good if you can't lift it high enough to walk under it.

Inside is good. You should have a high ceiling or u will have duck under bike.

Indoors should work fine as long as you can find a stud to screw it into. For my install I first attached the brackets to a 6 foot long 2x4 first, at the spaceing that I wanted. Then attached the entire thing to the ceiling. This way my spacing of the hanger brackets were not dependent on the orientation of the ceiling joists.

Hi, I would not have any problem with that install them in a room. As long as the proper precautions are taken: the bike no longer rests on your bed, for example. Ideally locate in an area free of the room. Also be careful that putting the screws, they are firmly anchored in the ceiling (so you can support the weight of the bike).I use mine in the garage and parked my car almost under the bike, and I have not had any problems.I hope I could help.

Not sure but I will tell you the it has a dual hook - a metal bar with a hook at each end - from which you hang the frame of the bike. If you hung one wheel from one hook it would be off center, and I don't think a wheel would hang from both hooks because the hooks are too far apart. The bar with the hooks on it is adjustable in that you can make it horizontal, vertical or anywhere in between but if you turn it vertical, the hooks would be facing left and right (versus up and down) and would not secure the bike. It is a fantastic stand though I will say, but you need to secure it to your ceiling with a screw or two because it expands and contracts just a bit with change in temperature in a garage and could come loose. Hope that helps.

The enclosure is not weather rated.You would normally install it at the circuit breaker panel which is probably indoors..

I'm afraid I can't help you with that since we keep ours inside. We did consider putting it in the garage. We decided against it because we wanted to keep the garage for the cars instead of making it a gym.

My racks are secured in a garage so I didn't need a lock loop. I looked at mine and there is no loop that I could see unless they're saying you could run the cable through the two bottom bars which you could do. It won't be the strongest or most secure, but it will lock your bike.

I have a rental and installed it in my place...I nailed it to a board that lies against the cupboard wall instead of nailing it permanently in place. I love it!

The (OS) model can not be installed indoors. the (IN) can but be aware that it requires very expensive stainless steel ducting for the inside installation.

Yes I have . My garage has a concrete floor and a metal deck ceiling and it works fine. You just to make sure its tight. I've had it for 6 months and it's great! I have two bikes on it.

Inside the garage is fine. It just needs to be out of the weather, cannot get wet.

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.

In a gym or a barn maybe. You would need high ceilings and no furniture in a house. Please check the dimensions. I could never use it inside my house. We use it in the yard all the time, and I could put it up in our garage which has a very high ceiling, but I would need to empty it put first.

I would hang it higher so the bike is completely off the floor.This way you have more wiggle room when you try to hang up your bike.Also, since every bike's size dimension is different, you won't have to worry if you want to hang a different bike in the future.I would just hang it where it is comfortable for you to hang your bike, leaving a few inches at the bottom.

I have two 26 inch bikes on it. I do not see a problem for your rides. The product is easy to install and works nicely in my garage

Instructions say it can be installed anywhere - includes sheds and garages in the suggested list of locations. I plan to use it in a closet.

Hello! I bought this unit because I didn't want to use any floor space in my garage as with the tripod units. When fastening my hybrid commuter bike to the clamp, I had limited space behind the bike for adjusting and working. Also, my handlebars almost touched the wall. If I had to buy one again, I would get a freestanding unit.

No, only outdoors. I suppose you can do it indoors if you have enough space. although it is going to be hard to secure because there are pegs that you drive into the ground.

We have ours inside, but we live in a hotter part of SoCal than you. I would bet that garage storage in such a mild climate like yours, doesn't really affect it much.
