In the listing pictures, a 2 bike stand is assembled so bikes face the same direction but are offset. Can the 3,4,5,6 bike config be done this way too

I believe so (I only have two of these though). My stands came separately, then I got the small connector piece that I can use to connect the two however I want to. So the bikes can line up beside each other, or every-other-one can face the opposite direction, or probably some other ways too.

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

We bought 2 of these to do the same thing. I would imagine you could put as big as configuration as you wanted. They work GREAT!

They are designed to side by side. (You would be missing a side if separated.) But if you had multiple sets, you could change up the configurations, or add to. Hope that helps.

If there are 6 bikes on it, then yes, you do have to pull another one off to access. But if only 4 or 5 bikes on, then no.Hope this helps!

As long as all the bikes are anchored at the same point, they will more or less remain parallel. I position them the best I can and then lift them slightly, positioning them again to make sure they don't get tangled before lift up to the ceiling. We have seven bikes and it works pretty well. Good luck!

You will need to set the wheel cradles with the Allen wrench to the proper width. Once this is done you can place the bikes on the rack and secure them with 3 straps--one for each wheel and one for the U-bar. The 4-bike rack is solid. It extends just a bit, but I like that the bikes do not swing or bump into each other once they are secured on the rack.

I put my bike on the other way around. I put the bike with the front to the left on the inner mount. The down bracket secures around the angled lower part of the frame.

Actually have done both. Once you align the tire slots for the size of the bike and then alternate direction, goes on like charm. Just position the smaller hook arm for the girls bikes as it will need to be the lowest on the hook pole.

You have two options, 1) In the BMW rack itself you can switch the mounting brackets very easily to mount the rack like in the picture, (I got 2 racks and that is what I did with one of them) in order to have both bikes facing front; or 2) Leave the rack as is and mount one bike facing front and the other facing back.

as others have noted, you do have to pay attention when rotating the bike to other positions. Sometimes just re-clamping the bike at a different spot in the frame can make a big difference. I suspect there are sturdier ones out there if you want to pay more. I didn't and the stand has worked just fine for me. (I'm about to overhaul my 3rd bike on it.)

I don't know for sure, but really the important thing is that the hooks line up with the stands on the bike. Considering the hooks are adjustable (both slide left and right), I would venture a guess that it is.

I dont think so. It doesnt seem to be long enough (left to right) or wide enough depth (front t.o back) to hold 4 bikes. I think mostly due to the pedals & stuff gtting tangled. You wouldnt be able to neatly stack them next to each other.

Morning...The bike stand is just under 3 feet. My husband got the bike stand for our 3 bikes. Yes you can position them on the rack together, but they get so entwined For regular/daily use I prefer leaning them together. Saves untangling wires....

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 model shown to the left does NOT lock the bikes to the rack. I used a separate cable lock to do that.

Yes, be sure to turn the 3 sides the correct way. I love it! However, we had to change the way we had it setup the first time bc the support bars did not fit.

I have an angled seat post and it sets level on my bike. If your post is vertical the rack would be at a slightly upwards angle.

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.
