How long does it hang down? I have 15' ceilings and I'd like to hang the bikes high enough that I can walk beneath.

My ceilings are 12 feet - there is at least six feet more rope left fully extended. No problem.

I bought 2 of the two pack and the rope is plenty long even for a 15 feet ceiling. I have 11ft ceiling and when I bring the hooks down to attach to the bikes my rope are dragging on floor by a few feets so if you have 15 ft ceiling you will have enough rope.

I have it mounted to a 7ft high ceiling and I use maybe half the rope provided. In a pinch, your local hardware store run can easily provide you with as much rope as you need.

At both the houses that I've installed these, I've had to cut the ropes because they were way too long. I think that even with 15-ft ceilings you'll have plenty of rope to hang them. You can always buy longer pieces of nylon rope to use with it, since hooking them up is part of the installation anyway, but I think the included ones will be long enough.

We hang ours about. 12" from ceiling. Don't make it too low or someone might bang their heads on it.

The question is what is your ceiling height. It can be used with any ceiling height, from 8' up to 22' as long as you have the space under it for lower ceilings (8'). Higher ceilings are more challenging over 12' because you would have to use a ladder to get the bicycles down, which could be dangerous without assistance. That being said my customer love their Saris Cycle Glide. - Indy Monster Garage

It really depends on the size of your bikes. We have two Gary Fischer mountain bikes and the racks are hung approx. 12-15 inches from each other.

I have 10 foot ceilings and I had no problem hanging it at my eye level and I'm only 5 foot tall. So my must've been at least 5 feet of chain

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.

By simply removing a few links, you can make the chain as long/short as you like. 24" w/hooks. Just the chain 10",I have it doubled up. I have mine 15" from ceiling to the top of rack, rack is 3" deep. This unit is awesome and huge!9

I'm 6' and feel like mine is mounted too low on an 8' ceiling. However, people use the door to hold theirs in place and are still able to get good workouts so I would think you could just adapt the way you work out and the length of the straps when doing certain workouts. I hope that helps. I don't recall a recommendation in the manual.

I would hang it higher so the bike is completely off the floor.This way you have more wiggle room when you try to hang up your bike.Also, since every bike's size dimension is different, you won't have to worry if you want to hang a different bike in the future.I would just hang it where it is comfortable for you to hang your bike, leaving a few inches at the bottom.

!8" X 23.5" Hangs from my ceiling rafters and I have a fairly low ceiling but with the chain you can adjust for height as desired, and I think it would hold my Harley up. its stout!!

It is 15-16inches from the highest hook to the next shelf below but I hang my longer necklaces on door below earrings

Don't know why it wouldn't. My ceiling is 8'3", and I dropped the rack 16" (from ceiling to bottom of actual rack). I don't walk under my rack - it's next to a wall, above my trash can and my dog food storage unit.

we hung ours using about 2 feet of the chain however we had an extra 4-5 inches that was not used - works fine with a pitched ceiling too

Yes it will install but the lower bike may be 2-3" off floor and upper bike will be close. You may have to compromise but I'm using it in my apartment with 7'6" ceilings and lower bike is 9" off floor. You can do it and adjust for best fit.

I have 7'5" of ceiling height in my basement and it just fits, but we had to modify how we assembled the top of the rack. It just needed to be stood up before the top bar (angled with pull-up bar attached) was installed. We even installed the optional lat pull-down attachment and it all fits nicely in the basement. One note would be that you need about another 8-10" (about 8'+) for pull-ups. We were able to position the rack so that we do pull-ups with our heads between the floor joists, giving us an extra 10" of clearance. It's a great set-up for a home gym.

HI, I, too, have a 15' stand. I added chain to both ends to make it usable. It does hang a bit low to the ground. I wish it were higher.

We used a swag hook from the ceiling. THat proved too high for me to reach easily (I'm only 5 feet tall), so we hung a wire hanger from the hook and the basket from the hanger.
