can you hang 1 bike vertically using this? (instead of 1 or 2 bikes horizontally)

Yes. I did this with my bike. Only 1 will fit vertically. See Pic.We called the manufacture and they said yes, too.

No you can't, but the tilt is slight. It needs to be a little tilted, so that the gear doesn't fall forward. This is a great rack

You can definitely make it work. The two "hooks" can be adjusted independently, so you can put one higher for the front and one lower for the back so the bike itself sits level.

I am not sure how you would do that, as the wire holder that comes with it, is designed to use on horizontal bars. You might could rig up something to make it work tho!

The bikes mount vertical and it's for 2 bikes. I had it on my RV and it worked well for me.

First time I used it I had to mount the inside bike vertical (so it missed the spare tire) and the outside bike horizontal. I've mounted them both horizontal and vertical but you have to trial and error to find the right way.

The supplied hooks are probably not strong enough to hold a bike. I think you might be able to modify to hold a bike if you attached a piece of wood (e.g. 2x4 or 1x2) to the ceiling "rafters". Run the wood across the width of the ceiling (about 7 feet) and attach hooks to the wood. Maybe you could get two bikes hung. By the way, outside dimension of footprint frame is 27.5" x 85.5". Max height at highest peak is 81.5" You would have a bit over 6' of hanging height to work with for the bikes.

There is a vertical support, but doesn't work well. I modified the vertical bar where it would grab the tire. I used some square tube, long bolt and but. Also I use strap to strap the bikes to the rack. Hope that helps.

You can hang a bar from one hook and then hang the trapeze from the bar. I doubt it would be as stable as two hooks

I carry to mountain bikes, no problem except for mounting them so both fit. I hang one like the instructions (horizontal) and the other vertical and tie them with bungee cords to the ladder so they don't shake. Also, when assembling be aware there are left and right sides. I installed mine wrong the first time.

it works great with two bikes but I have not tried just one on top. I would think it would be unstable with all the weight on top. You could put one on the bottom by itself but that lowers the center of gravity. I hope this helps. One other thing you could do is clamp the rack to the wall and then you could put one on top.

Yes. We have hybrids, mountain and road bikes - even kids bikes on ours! The hooks move so you can adjust to what you need. Best purchase for bike storage!

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!

The rack I have has room for three bikes. Yes you can get three bikes on the rack by facing bikes in alternating directions

Afraid not. The slotted ones will not work horizontally. However, peg hooks that use the holes still work both ways

Depending on how you secure your bikes onto the carrier, you can lower the carrier without removing the bikes. Done right, the bikes rotate on the carrier and remain hanging perpendicular to the ground.

Hi P. Jun... sorry for the delay in my response! So to answer your question .. YES, you can lean the rack down BUT (there is always a but!!) the rack becomes very heavy with more than 1 bike mounted on this rack. I usually mount 5 of them and it is simply not a good idea to lean the rack down fully loaded. I never tried just 1 bike, but the rack is very sturdy and I cannot see that being an issue. I would strongly recommend this rack, I have travelled from Chicago to New Jersey with this fully loaded with 5 bikes and did not have any issues. Good luck!
