It looks like if i had all six bikes hanging from this i would have to remove a few to get the ones in the middle ???

We have 4 bike on ours and it is not to bad. Our bikes are light. It would depend on how you hang them.

Yes, probably depends on the set up you have. For me, I have to remove bikes to get the ones in back or middle. But my bikes are in a small shed. If this was on a big wall in a garage, might be easier to get bikes on and off.

We have two and kept them separate. Then, you can park the bikes where ever you want. You don't have to connect them.

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.

No, not meant to hang that way-- will tip over. The hooks hold the bike by its frame- top bar. You can stack 2 bikes, but horizontal.

No reason that I can think of. It might be a space saver too if you alternate hanging multiple bikes between the front or rear wheels. I consider this method with my five bike setup, but didn't go with it because it might be harder for others to get their bikes in and out of the hook.

I unlock the rack at the 2nd bike carrier location then step back and lift up the rack from the 4th bike location. It's not easy, but that's how I do it.

We did it... just adjust the chain lengths accordingly on each hook. If you need longer chain, it can be picked up at the hardware store VERY cheap!

I have 4 on my wall side to side, spaced about 9.5" apart from each other. At first i measured directly underneath my bike's bottom bracket to the outside of one of the pedals which was about 8 inches, so I knew it had to be 8" apart at least. But actually my studs dictate where the rack goes

I think the legs that run down the middle are too close to use a riser on each and too far to use just one riser for both. Also the frame sits pretty high anyway you might not need them.

Nope, not usually. Most of the time you can shift the other bikes a bit to lift bikes in the middle out. We are very happy with our Monkey Bar Rack.

It sounds like you didn't tighten each area enough with the provided Allen wrench. Allignment sounds off. We had to retighten a few times before the handle bars were straight.

I carry 3 mountain bikes. Just need to move the top holders to the sides instead of on top.

Yes. However, be aware that when the rack is loaded, with more than 2 or 3 bikes, it may not be easy to get the rack up and down with only one person. I emailed Allen about this question, and, technically, the rack is not designed to swing up and down 'fully loaded'. I've done it successfully with 3 or 4 bikes ... but needed help and struggled a bit getting the pin back in after swinging the rack back up. All told, this is an excellent rack and while you may like the more expensive ones for some reason, they all basically work the same. And the quality of this product (and the responsiveness of their customer service) is great. Yes.

It appears that the handle bars could be removed by taking out the 4 phillips screws on each bar. The bars are clearly not designed to be removed and although it probably wouldn't hurt the functionality of the item it wouldn't look right either.

you can remove most of the shelves, but not all. The two middle shelves are part of the frame of the cabinet and are needed for stability. I can check the height of the shelves and get back to you.

No, some will fit on the regular way, I have two that will not so I just put the bikes upside down it holds them fine.

Bike is Suspended by Nylon Rope to the ceiling. I believe if anyone really wanted Your Bike bad enough, this Hanging /Storage System would NOT prevent them from doing that? You could However remove a wheel and keep it inside or pad Lock Wheel before raising it up!Cheers! Curt>~iii~<( sure freed up a lot of room in My Garage!
