Has anyone mounted these on drywall? I have a light road bike -- think it will be okay for that? How far away from the wall is the hook center?

I mounted mine to Drywall with the included anchors. Mine holds a much heavier Trek dual sport so I would think your road bike will be ok. Anchors and drywall can support a lot more than most people think.

I have 4 of these on an interior wall and they're great but I agree with Lovelivetoread, I'd look for a stud. We tried dry wall anchors and they didn't work. I use the hooks for a helmet & gloves or shoes so that adds a little too.

Should work fine just get some overkill dry wall anchors from HD or Lowes. You should be able to find a stud though. And as for how far away from the wall the hook center is it's about 5-8inches and is more of a bar than hook system that runs through the front tire.Very easy to setup and would highly recommend

I would not recommend that. It's a lot of downward pressure and will likely rip out of the wall like that. It's not hard to find a stud

The side pair of mine are mounted with the drywall anchors they sell at Home Depot, the metal ones that hold like 40lbs.. the description will have their weight, but I guess it depends on if there was something previously in the drywall, as to if it will hold or not.. sometimes patching isn't strong enough.

I just hung mine a month ago. The direction tell you to hold the bike up so that the back tire is 12 inches off the ground. The instructions that come with it are quite clear.

I wouldn't do it unless you get the heavy duty thru-wall type drywall anchors, not those plastic screw type ones. I mounted mine on a decorative piece of wood that I screwed into the wall studs.

I have mine mounted on studs, 32" apart. It holds quite a bit, though I have not measured the weight of the load. If the main supports are not mounted on studs, it would definitely pull out of the dry wall fully loaded. Also, if the rod gets weaker as it is pulled longer and longer (tube in tube design...expands....but you lose strength with expansion)

You need to find the wall studs before mounting.They should be 16" or24 on center.

The bracket holes are wider than 1 1/2 inches apart so you would have to use then in line with the stud, or (because of the direction I needed to run the bikes) use a piece of 1 x 2 mounted to the ceiling first crossways, then screw the brackets to that.

I used drywall screws to mount the speaker directly to the wall and it worked very well. I also see Yamaha makes brackets which were listed on the bottom of the page when I checked out as recommended or frequently bought together. I have not used these brackets but I am sure they would work since they are offered by Yamaha.

Hmm, what kind of bike and most importantly, handlebar, do you have? I have no problems at all mounting it on mine using one of the provided rubber rings. You should find images or videos about it using google.

I mounted them in studs to be on the safe side. While anchor screws may hold the unit tight against the wall, I would not want to risk having my two boards come crashing to my concrete garage floor. Good luck!

Thank You for question. We've been reading all the notes on mounting this Pot Rack while waiting for ours to arrive. I noticed in the RangeKleen website video how those holes were so close to the ends. We have solid wood walls in this "Old Florida" small cottage (not plaster over wood, but hardwood tongue&groove floor to ceiling in all 5 rooms). So, when drilling the holes I'll aim at an angle downward from above, like a nail for hanging a picture. This way, the screw heads will be accessible all the way in. Downward forces will then help maintain good leverage, pulling it tight to the wall all the more. Also, whenever we drill or nail anything in these walls, plaster or brick, we always, ALWAYS start out by first drilling tiny pin-pilot holes first; and follow with successively larger drillbits. This assures the best accuracy, allows for adjustments along the way, and easily minimizes any collateral damage. ANOTHER SOLUTION IDEA is to mount 4 or more wide flat hooks on the wall first, and then just drop the rack onto the hooks . . .

I mounted wire racks on the sides, with no problem, however, for center support, I ran a 1x2 up the back. I'll try to post photo,s on the review site.

Not unless the sell some type of different adapter/holder than what comes with it. They will only hold bikes. I would say, this seems like a bit of an overkill for boards. I have mine hanging on my walls and they sit pretty flush to the wall. Neat and out of the way. They sell a lot of different options for this, and they'll be much cheaper than this stand.

I have them mounted. On a front bull bar and they look good and work great thumbs up!

It depends on the width of the handlebars. I actually mounted a piece of wood on the wall to span the distance of a few studs, as to not have the positioning of the studs dictate the spacing of the brackets. The you can mount the brackets whichever distance you want from each other, and not sacrifice support.

I have mine mounted on dry wall using anchors that screw into the wall. No drilling required. You can get them from Home Depot or lowes. Easy to use.

Do you mean the height on the wall? For mounting on the wall, that optimal height depends on your height / strength. I have my bikes hanging about 2 feet from the ground, the hooks themselves are mounted at approximately 7 feet from the floor.
