How easy is it to take the bar down between uses? Is the bar itself fixed in place with screws, or does it just attach to the mounted brackets?

I think it is screwed in. We haven't taken it down, but I don't think it would be that big a deal to move it. Wouldn't want to move it often. We have it in the basement with other gym equipment. Love it!

I received one for Christmas and just got it installed. Yes, you can remove the bar between uses, it's not hard to take down if you're tall enough to reach the top of the door frame with your hands. It just slides up and out of the two side mounts. The two side pieces are screwed in to the door frame and can't be removed.

The bars are separate, and must be inserted at the last step of installation. If you pre-assemble the unit and place it on the wall where you want to install it, and then mark the center of each end bracket, it is not a problem to get it exactly where you want it. You really need the help of another person to make this an easy job. Use a level to make sure both brackets are placed correctly.

Yes the bars lock into place well when installed correctly. I recommend checking for looseness every once in awhile. I use a yakima bike rack on the bars and it holds just fine. Best.

It is together all you have to do is pull the legs down. the bar across just fits in the holes on the two front legs. It is real easy to do. Enjoy

There is a "soft mount" and the recommended "hard mount". So basically it's like a tension rod that you keep twisting in the door frame until there is enough tension to hold the bar. That's the soft mount. The hard mount you screw in to the door way.

Mighty Mounts have a thumb screw that can be loosened to take the mount off. It takes about 5 minutes to take the mounts off factory bars.

Holes will need to be drilled right into ceiling studs and the base of the brackets bolted parallel to the studs (this works better if you have exposed studs). Then the studs come with a bolt that holds down the bar, so it is mounted last.

Yes, the bar is removable. There is a pin that allows you to add/remove the bar.

Attaching the handlebar legs is very easy, the only thing you'll need is a little room while attaching them when the rebounder is on its side.I do not store mine, yet I use it everyday. Personally I would find constant attaching and removal of the bar a hassle, yet it would be easy to do.

Pull up on the end of the middle bar. Adjust it out to the length you need and then snap the middle bar back down in place.

The bracket that is attached to the handle bars is two pieces that can be tightend/loosend/adjusted with screws. I've used mine on different bikes with no problems. I suppose you could use longer screws to attach it if you have a problem. It's a very nice product.

Jaye, The bar will come out of the little slot with a bit of pressure, but it shouldn't come out unless you are a little rough with the unit. Even if it does come out, it takes little effort to put it back in.

Mine came off & there were 3 small pieces: 2 screws & an internal sleeve. Get the bars lined up as there is a correct twist. Once you do that, all the other parts fit, no problem.

I have not had to replace the bar you are referring to. However, it does appear to be a generic tension bar holder that could easily be replace.

Moving the bars up/down is quick and easy. If you need to extend them handlebars out or move them in it just takes an allen wrench.

The brackets had to be where the studs were. The bar slides through holes in the brackets., then gets screwed to the brackets. We had to cut our bar shorter due to a door. It works and looks great.

I'm assuming it is the simple process of being to move the bar that holds the bikes down when not in use. Basically 2 red small bars you easily pinch together that lets the bar move down. We love this bike rack!
