Was looking for a bike storage solution that didn't involve drilling walls, and bumped into that at Google Shopping. Looks like a good deal; Kogan sells a different model for $35 ($30 for prime subscribers), and other stores charge $60-70 for it. The pics on the Bunnings don't show the bike in the vertical position, but this store on eBay does.
Update: I bought 3; details below.
As per one of the reviews, doesn't look like you would fit an adult mountain bike in that. Just a heads up
But photos from other users show it working fine with a larger bike.
How many people ride an XL bike? Most ppl aren't well over 6ft tall
Yeah didn't fit my bike. Had to return. Medium e bike.
Why didn't it fit? Length? tyre width? other?
I'm guessing it didn't fit the tyre thickness? Medium frame probably wouldn't have a distance issue.
I like the look of these, but have two large bikes, both running 2.6" tyres and slack headtube angles making for a long wheelbase…
Would be really nice if the Bunnings site listed minimum & maximums for the stands.
Training wheels do the same thing
Leaning it against a wall, bench, rack, mower works too.
having somebody bend over and nestling the front tyre between their bum cheeks is also a valid approach.
nice, i almost bought the work stand yesterday but this is item i wanted.
OOS? Keeps saying 'We've had an issue processing your request.'
Check if your store has it in stock. My local doesn't have it in stock so it won't show up, you have to change your store to one that has it.

lmao, first I missed the work stand yesterday which I really needed as I'm in a dispute with an eBay user for sending me an incorrect and cheap one, then I miss this one too. Fml

Thanks OP. Bought 2.
Thanks. Bought 2 in the hope that they're sturdy enough and are truly "universal". Delivery with OnePass wasn't free though, as they changed the delivery from "Standary Delivery" to "Special Order and Stocked Item Delivery" during the checkout process.
I don't know why you're getting negged for getting what you needed from the deal. Some people I guess. Good info on the delivery too!
It's not on sale (I don't think, I can't tell from the website), but I own this bike rack and feel like it has been fantastic. It holds 1 x aluminium road bike (approx 9.5kg) and 1 x carbon track bike (approx 8kg) + associated accessories. Never had any concerns with it slipping or falling over when on floorboards. Been very happy with this storage system, super helpful for maximising space in an apartment.
good for kids bikes as well you think?
Hmmm, good question. I can't think of any issues with that. The arms can be adjusted in both height and angle, they're not fixed to the frame, so I don't foresee any issues. You could change the height to improve the balance, and angle the arms inwards to make sure it fits the bike.
Those were the only concerns I would think about, if you can think of any others I could potentially have a look at my stand for you.

Thanks.
Dumb Bunnings website.
Much more helpful to show the product as out of stock rather than a 404. 🙄
That youinstock site seems great thanks!
I haven't had a bike for years but, don't they come with a little kick-stand on the side near the back wheel?
I thought the wall mounts were about saving space (having the bike off the floor / out of the way)
Where as this looks like a messy contraption which does the same thing as the little kick stand on the side of the bike
I have a kickstand also but buying this as I want to store my bike vertically in the garage so I have more space.
It doesn't save that much space btw. Maybe half a wheel width. But you can store stuff underneath where there's a large gap.
Doesn't look like it stores the bike vertically though:

These down-votes on my question show me that the cyclist community are indeed, of gate keepers lol
It does.
Your downvotes (not from me) is most probably because you've applied a blanket statement to all bikes. Not all bikes have kickstands or the provision to add a kickstand as a kickstand can flip out and cause injuries.
On top of not reading the product description which says it can be used to store bikes vertically or horizontally.
Road cyclists don't like to use kickstands as it adds unnecessary added weight.
Ordered through click and collect, then received a sms saying sold out statewide and will be refunded. When I ordered it it’s green in stock, now it still shows amber low stock. Guess C&C has lower priority than direct purchase. This is in WA
Same, in rydalemere
Awesome was just thinking about something for my garage , grabbed three for pickup.
Damn neggers!
(oops, that was almost racest)
Grabbed 3 myself too.
(at Maroochydore; 2 more in stock, for those in the Sunny Coast).
For those not renting, the wall-attached hooks are a lot better. Secure, don't take up space when bike not present.
e.g. https://www.bunnings.com.au/handy-storage-wall-mounted-bike-…
While cheap, they are also horrible.
Steady rack is excellent for wall mount. https://au.steadyrack.com/collections/racks
"horrible" is not helpful. What is your problem?
A hook (similar to one linked) works for my particular case, and makes the ones you linked look big and clunky. I'm curious what problem they solve for you.
edit: I also have a lock with wall-bolt, which keeps the bike "steady". I guess that's it.
I've used the hook style in the past. I've found them difficult to load bikes on and put unneeded strain on the spokes (lost spokes from one wheel and pretty sure this was the reason).
Yeah the steady rack is big. Not clunky. dead easy to wheel a bike onto, wheel is supported in normal load axis. Swings out of the way when not in use. If you have space and want an easy to use rack, they're perfect, if a bit pricy.
Haven't tried the angle hooks below.
@EthicsGradient: Thanks, makes sense except for the spoke strain part, but i've seen religious debates on that before :)
@bargaino: It does put a load at right angles to the tension. But like you say, it religious wars, and YMMV.
I haven't used the above but I have a bunch of these from Bunnings in the garage, cost a tenth of the steady rack, and they're super easy to use and hold the bikes well. To make instal easier I fixed a timber panel to the wall first with 4 dynabolts and then just screwed these in with wood screws at the right height for reach bike - with the panel they can be moved easily as the bikes change, esp. handy for growing kids with changing bikes.
If you can locate a studd. These easy to use.
Can use from ceiling or wall https://www.bunnings.com.au/pinnacle-black-pvc-jumbo-screw-i…
I've done exactly the same as @afoveht. Same Pinnacle bike hooks onto a vertical timber piece (one-third width of a solid timber door discarded from a building site) fixed to a brick wall.
I went through 3 stores to buy these 2 weeks ago, at full price…
What was full price?
Note that these kinds of stands don't work for bikes with fenders.
FYI, we call them mudguards. Welcome to Australia though! "Have a nice day" as y'all say over there.
Nice one! I was looking for a free standing rack, have found an alternative solution but may still get this.
Another benefit of this stand is easy to apply chain lube, having the bike upright means excess lube doesn't drip onto rear tyre (unless you have a fixie).
what alternative solution did you find?
I put them on a bike carrier, the kind that attaches to the towbar. Didn't think of it earlier.
just sit the bike carrier on the floor?
@nhutty: It doesn't sit flat on the floor, so I put it on the box that it came it, so the box is sort of like a stand for the carrier.
@nhutty: This one, it's surprisingly sturdy, paid $179 some time ago.
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0BR8M4NM4
The carrier can be folded up, so it doesn't take up as much space on the floor when you put bikes on it.
Not sure which of the two bike racks ppsted would be best for me…
Tight and small garage/storage, I want to have the bike high enough to have some storage tubs underneath it?
At the moment, it's leaning against things and falling over and continuously in the way.
Can't wall mount, so want something that's going to be able to walk around it?
Maybe this one would work for you?

Looks like the legs take up less space than the bike wheels

Note: I don't have a bike or bike rack, just going by the pictures.
Available in non-CBD areas in QLD. I got mine in Bundamba but also in stock in West Ipswich and Springfield lakes.
Shame again to Bunnings online purchases Ordered through click and collect, then received a call saying we don't have stock and will be refunded.
Did you get an email saying Your Online Order is Ready to Collect? and then they rang you saying no stock?
I got the email and wonder if I should call first to confirm they have the stock before collecting.
FWIW, I just picked up 3 in Maroochydore. There was none at the shelf, but they were in boxes atop the shelves. If their system confirmed, and then you got a call, maybe the system was wrong, or maybe it was right, and staff didn't see it atop the shelves in the warehouse. Sometimes it pays to go buy in-store instead of relying on C&C.
Got confirmation ordered placed then received call no stock
I've just assembled the 3 I bought. Actually, just 2, bc the 3rd one — incidentally the 1st one picked out of the box — was just impossible to screw in. When I saw the grooves in the screws were getting flattened, I opened another box. Completely different screws! As I picked one from the shelf, and two I had to ask to a Bunnings attendant to get from boxes up above with their powerlift, I'm guessing the 1st one I tried was an older model, with the screw problem, which they just resolved on the latest batch. And that may be the reason why they're on sale; to clean out the old model, and be rid of the issue. But the problems didn't stop there; their packing is atrocious. In the 2nd box I opened, now of the new batch, one of the screws was wrong. It doesn't help that they use screws of the exact format of two different lengths just 5mm apart. Not only that, but as I open the 3rd and final box, I realise the 2nd one was also missing the little wrench to hold the bolts as one tightens the screws with the provided Allen key. And, finally, as I put the bikes in position, and they seem unstable and about to fall, it takes me a while to realise I need to losen and adjust the height of the back bracket. Had they sent it loose already, it would've been obvious.
Bottom line is: it's worth the $15 bucks, not more than that.
Did you leave a review
Good idea! Hadn't thought of that; I often don't do it.
bought 4, and disagree, these are great for the price and I'd probably be happy paying double. Its very stable with the bikes in standing or upright positions.
Assembly was a little annoying with the allen key, and i didn't get a wrench in any of my boxes to hold the nut for the bolts that needed it.
I did have one issue with one of the bolts getting stripped because the one of the holes wasn't aligned, i just left it, 3 bolts should be enough for my kids bikes.
I did have one issue with one of the bolts getting stripped because the one of the holes wasn't aligned
Precisely the same experience. Seems like a production error they fixed with a different format; in the new batch, the screws are smaller, and they come already screwed into the attachment.
404??!
Discontinued? 🤔
Hit a snag….
So it says. They may have pulled it out as a result of my review there…
OOS
