एक स्थिर में बाइक लटकाने से आपके फ्रेम, कांटे या पहियों को कोई नुकसान नहीं होगा। बाइक के फ्रेम का कोई भी हिस्सा रैक को नहीं छूता है, केवल सामने का टायर, जो स्टील आर्म्स में घिरा हुआ है।

This is a common concern for many bike owners with these types of brakes and suspension. When your bike is hung up vertically, the fluid in your forks will run towards the seals and keep them lubricated. This will prolong their use, so it's actually good for your bike and forks to hang it vertically on our bike racks.

If you have hydraulic brakes on your bike, the fluid will run down when the bike is hung, so we advise pumping the brakes a few times when you take the bike off the rack if it's been there for a while. The shocks shouldn't leak when the bike is hung up, however if they do it's a good indication that the seals may need replacing.

We have done the research and spoken to several of the major brake and fork component manufacturers about this issue and the universal response is that hanging bikes up vertically does not cause the brakes or suspension forks to develop leaks. In fact many of the major bike and component manufacturers use and recommend our racks for storing bikes or parking staff bikes in their headquarters or both. As long as proper maintenance is completed on the bike and there are no pre-existing issues, then you will experience no issues. You may need to pump the brakes a bit if the bike has been in the rack for awhile, however, it is perfectly safe.

By storing your bikes vertically with a Steadyrack, you’ll be able to pivot the bikes in each direction, placing them closer to the wall. This will not only save floor space, but also more space in smaller areas, which is helpful when sharing the space with a car.

Being able to pivot the racks side to side, when combined with the arm design, allows for much greater location flexibility and space saving than any other product. Steadyracks patented and revolutionary design helps to save more of your valuable floor space and can be mounted to virtually any wall, with as little as 350mm between each rack.

Due to the rotating/pivoting action, bikes that are stored in a Steadyrack can be overlapped and when not in use, the arms simply fold away for even more space.

With a Steadyrack, there is no need to lift or juggle your bikes. Simply squeeze your back brake, grab the handlebars and walk backwards to lever the bike onto the rear wheel. Then you just roll your bike's front tyre in and out of the rack!

In general, bike tyres will slowly lose their tire pressure, regardless of how they are stored. A bike stored in a Steadyrack will not loose any more tyre pressure than they would if stored on the ground. If bikes are stored in our racks for long periods of time, we just recommend doing routine pressure checks as per normal bike maintenance.
