[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sturdy hook. Can hold a kids or adult bike easy. Perfect if you have a one car garage and when garage space is a premium. I would definitely recommend. I will be buying a few more to store all of our bikes off of the floor.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vertical Bike Hooks is a better way to hang your bike. It is much easier to place the bike on the hook, as opposed to using my other hanging solution. I don't have to lift the bike as far or make sure that the bike is balanced, when using the Vertical Bike hook. You simply slip the front tire over the hook and that's it. It is sturdy, so you don't have to worry that your bike will fall. Using the Gladiator GearTrack system makes it easy to store my bike in different locations, when needed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hook is a no frills addition to the Gladiator Wall System. I've slotted it in and out a few dozen times at different spots along my wall track and it was always an easy installation and uninstallation. I've hung three different sized bikes on there and it was never an issue. If you want to hang a bike on your wall, this is an easy way to do it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All the variety of Gladiator hooks are great. I hate to say I did not use this hook for a bicycle…but rather use it as a utility hook for my leaf blower. Works great. Parts of my garage is rather tight so having a bicycle hanging off of it which seem to work fine would not allow me access to the side of my garage. I think I have every other hook the gladiator makes. This was a welcome addition.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the bike hook, perfect addition to my track system. I really enjoy all the accessories and they make the garage a much cleaner area. No longer have items sitting on the floor they are all nice and organized.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hook is well made and apears to be very strong. Holds bike in place well and not difficult to install or remove bike from wall hook. Hook is covered with nice sturdy foam to keep from scratching bike wheel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hook is a very easy and simplistic way of hanging any bicycle or scooter. It's easy to hang and remove your bike as well, and keep the clutter off the floor. Make sure hang high as the handlebars do stick out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked great although I didn't use it to hang my bicycle. They live on the ground. I did need a wall component to hang a power extension cord reel from. This part works great to hang things whether it's a bike or something else
Of the all the of new Whirlpool Gladiator GearTack hooks I purchased recently the Vertical Bike Hook was the one I was most for looking forward to using. Up until now, my family members have been storing their bikes either leaned up against the garage wall, or unceremoniously dumped in the front yard. And it's only when dad's on a garage organizing tirade do the bikes actually get put away which has meant hanging them from the old stand-by red ceiling mounted hooks; the only problem with that is that dad (me) is the only one tall enough to get the bikes back down from the ceiling, which, with a car or other stuff stored in the garage is easier said than done (especially if the kids ask me to get the bikes up and down multiple times a day). So when I saw the Vertical Bike Hook from Gladiator, I thought here was a bike hook that would easily mount to my Gladiator GearTrack Panel which is about 6' off the garage floor, which is just about the perfect height to wheel a (full-sized) bicycle right up to on it's rear wheel and hook in place, and so now my kids and spouse can easily put their own bikes away, right?! But, while it's true that it has made it easier for the rest of my family to put their own bikes away, it turns out there's two big flaws with the Vertical Bike Hook: The first problem is that I find that when either putting the bike into the hook or taking it out, the slightest contact between the bike tire and the hook ends up knocking the hook out of the GearTrack panel every time (yes EVERY time). This makes it very difficult for a person to mount or unmount the bike by themselves, which defeats one of the chief reasons for having purchased the hook in the first place. And the second, and more damning problem I've found, is that after using the hook for only about two weeks, the rubber covering on the curved portion of the hook has broken through and exposed the sharp metal end underneath which was then poking right into the sidewall of the bike tire! It didn't puncture the sidewall, but I didn't realize until after the fact that it left a huge scrape in the rubber and with repeated use I'm sure would eventually break through. The same thing happened with all the other bikes I tried, with the exception of my road bike whose tires are skinny enough to not contact the hook in a dangerous way. But, I couldn't risk the potential of further damaging any of the other bikes and had to discontinue using Vertical Bike Hook as soon as I realized the issue (see photos). So, in my estimation the Vertical Bike Hook is a great idea in theory, but with some poor performance features in the real world. My recommendation to Gladiator is that the Vertical Bike Hook be redesigned so that instead of having a shape like Captain Hook's, well, hook, it instead be made into an “L” shape to accommodate a wider variety of bike tire sizes without the potential to damage the bike tire; and secondly that it be made to attach more securely in the gear track panel so as to not be knocked loose upon contact with the bike tire. If Gladiator can make those changes, then I'll be “hooked” (sorry, couldn't resist the dad joke). [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I really wanted to love this bike hook. I could not get my bike to hang correctly. I hangs just like it does on the regular bike hook. It could easily be user error. Also I don't need anything else coming out into the garage I would prefer the bike stay against the wall. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
