Can I mount onto drywall with butterfly screws? I have a 20 lb road bike.

Maybe if you have thicker drywall. If you can hit a stud it would be best. If you do go into drywall a lot will depend on the load the anchors ate rated to hold.

It will hang but u would be better off with a stud. Personally I wouldn't do it

We screwed ours into a 2X8 board that was anchored to the wall with 3" lug bolts in our garage. You should check the weight load of the butterfly bolts but I would err on the side of caution. If you want to be sure then be sure that the tools and equipment can bear the load. Also you might want to check with a local bike store, they have loads of experience and information. Good luck.

You have to screw this into the stud, butterfly screws might hold for a while but I wouldn't trust it long term.

May work; I'd recommend a stud mount, though to avoid any risk of pulling out your drywall. Also, depends on how thick your drywall is (1/2" vs 3/4"). With my bike (about 28lbs), I have the rear wheel resting on a cinder block so that there's no pull on the wall at all. Hope this helps.

NO! The screws supporting the rack have to be mounted well above the center of gravity or the excess load will be placed on the rack instead of transferring that load to the stud in your wall.

You should be able to us this rack on wood- I don't see why not. You won't need to use the anchors that go into dry wall but do use the wood screws that come with it. Good luck!

If mounting on drywall then use drywall anchors, if in wood then you can use screws enclosed with towel bar

Yes, I have mine mounted to a wall. Screw driver will work with strong wrists as you should screw into a stud for solid support. I pre-drilled pilot holes for screws.

There is no mounting hardware, but I suppose it could be done. It is so small, I just put it away when not in use.

I think the racks it's strong enough, size would be perfact too; but however there is only one screw for each piece to be mounted on wall, guess you need to check the strongness for the type of wall you got and what method you are planning to mount the racks.

Yes you can. This bike mount only works on bikes with Thin Downtube. if yours it's thicker, it will not work.

Yes u can mount them with a tube. If your tube looks good you can reuse it. It is a good ideal to have a bike shop mount and balece them so you don't pinch the tube

You probably could but I think it would feel a bit heavy. I haven't had any mounting uissues...but I always removed the whole unit and bracket rather than using the reputedly vulnerable "quick release" slide. The lever on the bracket only needs about half a turn to get it nice and tight so it just seemed the safer long-term option...and has proven to be so. I figured the plastic become even more brittle/vulnerable in the incessant -20*C temps of a Calgary bike commuting winter (~25 -20*C or lower commutes this year).

The instructions include for mounting on Sheetrock walls, and includes hardware for this. Also included is hardware for mounting on cement and cinder block walls. I mounted on Sheetrock and used 2 butterfly wall anchors that I purchased separately which I believe hold best on hollow walls where I can't screw into a stud.

No, not at all. As long as you can find a wooden stud, you should be fine screwing it in by hand. I have a metal frame behind my wall so I had to get special screws to hold it in JUST the dry wall and it's holding steady with about 10 pounds of books on there. So it's more about the screws yet get, rather then this product.

I don't see why it couldn't. The bikes no matter what kind are held up in this setup at least typically by the front tire. I think this mount is also weighted for up to 50 pounds. So you'd have to get some good screws, and find a stud within the wall. But yes, mens.. womens.. childrens bikes should be fine all around, within the constraints.

Yes they can, you should only need longer screws. I fit the weights on the outside.

Hello, I don't think you can mount it on dry wall. There are 2-3 holes in the horizontal bar, plus two in the vertical one. I mounted it on a solid wall and it required screw anchors (wall plugs) as well as screws, of course. Please note that these are not included.

It is designed to be mounted on a wall with one screw. One could use zip ties on a wire cage but the weight of the item probably should somewhat less than a bike. T.

Just to be clear, by mounting points, if you mean the holes for the mounting screws, those are standard. 16" separation so the screws will hit the joists. You could drill new holes if needed.The mounting points for the bike (the pulleys) are adjustable. You can slide them to any point on the rack.
