are the mounting points standard or can they vary based on ceiling joist position?

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.

I tried mounting it on a joist but the alignment was off... I ended up just buying sheet rock anchors and mouting it between joists and it worked just amazingly awesome!

There are holes for bolts or screws. You should be able to mount between 24" ceiling joists with screws or wall anchors. The panel is very lightweight. Alternatively you can trim with framing and surface mount it.

Similar? yes, Interchangeable? I'd say no, mounting screws in different places

You can mount the screws at any position. However, the wider you get the more stability the unit will have.Good Luck

I am using these for wall mounting not ceiling mounting. You can use these both way. Just for additional info, I am using these for Definitive Promonitor 1000, which are very heavy.

I drilled into the joists in the ceiling. It was a little tricky finding them...I had to get up into the attic. I finally straightened a hanger and poked it through one of the holes I made so I could orient myself to exactly where i was whether in the kitchen looking up or in the attic looking down. I was surprised to discover they were running the opposite direction than I thought. (By the way, a stud finder didn't work in my ceiling.) But once I drilled into the joists and installed sturdy hooks, it was no problem. It has been hanging securely for months.

You'd want to make sure you got the fastners into the ceiling joists and NOT the 1x4's for the lookouts. I've mounted several of these for people in my Home Repair Business. I've had a problem with the chains that come with it rusting within a year.

You can also call the manufacture and they will provide details. I call asking about ceiling vs. Vertical wall mounting

Yes, standard mounting screw holes, but it has spade connectors so it's a tight fit if you use too small a box. It was a while ago, but I think best fit and appearance would be with one of those exterior surface mount boxes- the kind used with floodlights or exterior weather proof outlets.

It can be varied. The other two answers correspond to the way JK Adams' instructions are written. I have mounted the racks on a wooden piece that is already a foot or so below the ceiling, so I bought two screw eyes and two 3/4" long hex-head bolts and nuts (total cost <$2), screwed the eyes into the wood, and put the bolts through the screw eyes and resting in the groove on the underside of the rack. Using this method, the rack is ~1" from the wood piece.

You got lot of answers here, some of them pretty good. All I can add to the discussion is: If you have high ceiling that pushes the installation to the outer edge of (alleged) capacity.... forget it... it will not be stable even with screws. Old houses with high ceilings may have mortar instead of wooden beams and sheet-rock... in that case answer is the same - forget it. Otherwise I agree, a tension supplied by adjusting the pole and some care in how you push on it when you use it (MOSTLY DOWN) makes it practical, ingenious workable solution.

Yes the great thing about them is you can make them any length. Just make sure you have the depth. They hold a ton of weight as long as you have a good ceiling joists to anchor into. Hope this helps

Motherboard mounting points are standardized for each type/size of board. I've never heard or experienced such a thing as you are claiming. EVER. Few reviews have complained about it? Have any? This just doesn't seem likely in the least. EVGA doesn't have boards with special mounting points and every case I've ever seen has mounting points configurable to whatever type of motherboard is designed to fit the case. Maybe you need to check just what it is you're doing.

24" spacing on center is the norm for ceiling joists, so this should work fine. I think you will be able to catch 2 studs, but if not, and you have access to the storage area/attic, you could always install a crossbar stud above the drywall between the studs for extra support.

Yes. Meant to fit between studs in the wall which are 16 inches on center... Ceiling joists are typically the same. I have mounted many of these for multiple projects in both the ceiling and wall.

This is not standard mount system, you have 3 screws, but in the ceiling only 2 wholes (I least I had only 2). We mounted to those 2 and did the third whole directly into ceiling, otherwise it will not hold it right.
