I love this. Ugh, i just dropped $400 on steady racks the other day. I'd love this option as it seems more flexible but in my garage, it's such a high ceiling I'd have to figure out a way to bring an overhanging shelf out with enough support to hold the bikes. Hmm...got me thinking though... What were those peg boards? Where were they from? I need me some of them to hang helmets!

I dropped a shelf from the ceiling too. Works great for gear bags. I have a metal storage box shelf i got at Home Depot in the garage It’s rated for 600lbs. The rail could tie into that shelf too. 300lbs of bike and 300lbs of gear.

This is a great idea, I found that you can save a bit of money using unistrut for the track and rollers. I'm fabricating a steel shelf to mount to my garage wall and will hang this to the bottom of the shelf. Pro tip, if your bikes take up less space the wife won't notice a new one in the garage!

What a great concept and demonstration. I was able to order the rails and dual roller sets at Lowe’s for $40 each. So for about $145, I have a great rack for four bikes. I bought the bike hooks at Lowe’s also ($5), mated the hook to the roller with a 12 mm nut, 2 for $1.25 at Lowes as well. It worked perfect, threaded on securely. The 12 mm nut fit into the recessed slot of the rollers so lock in place at one of eight positions. You can adjust the position of the hook by pushing the hook up and rotating until the nut drops back into slot.

This has been my biggest challenge building the rack; marrying the wood screws to a machine threaded bolt. I can't get anything to bite on the screw; at least, something that will also set into the roller like you did. I think my problem is made worse by the fact that I'm trying to use the thicker Blue Hawk bike hooks - that are thicker than the hooks that Alex linked to in the video. This is good input though, I might make _another_ trip to Lowe's to see if I can find something. Thanks for sharing!

Top shelf holds truck pad, fenders, pads, helmets, etc. Did not win FAMILYHANDYMAN prize, but did get picture and basic assembly instructions into the magazine issue.

This is superb, thanks for sharing. Between four teenage boys, wife and myself, we have MANY bikes out in the garage. I’ve tried a ton of storage solutions and until now found the best to be a simple 2x board run between two vertical posts slightly above saddle height. Then you just lift the bike a few inches and rest the horn of the saddle on top of the board. Simple, cheap, tidy and effective; however with a bunch of bikes, they do get crowded together. I am going to take the same span in my garage and run a hanging-sliding rack as in this video, should work great.

Incredible idea, and thanks for the instructions. I helped a friend build this in her storage shed. We could not find nuts that worked on the various hooks she had so we used the actual bolts that the barn door brackets would hang from and attached the hooks to those with wire rope clips. One question - do your hooks spin freely, or are they rotationally static? The way we've done it the hooks do turn freely and it seems a bit more of a challenge to get the bike on it as it will turn if you hit it at all with the wheel. Maybe this is something you'd get used to. It also seems that having them static but at a bit of an angle would allow for even tighter spacing of bikes as the cranks and bars would nest a bit more. Thanks again.

put up a variation of this in my garage this summer. i have a high ceiling in there so used some shelf brackets with a high weight limit to mount to the wall and also put a 24" deep shelf board on top. drilled holes in the top of my box rail to line up with the holes in the ends of the shelf brackets and bolted through the rail, bracket, and shelf to hold it together. drilled holes through the back of the box rail at both ends and put in plastic spacers i didn't need from tv mounts to keep the trolleys from coming out in a way i can't see from the front. cut it down to 6½ feet since that's the space i have and put 6 hooks in it. used park tool machine-threaded hooks that come with 2 screws -- the small size ones work great with a nut actually inside the trolley but the plus size i needed for my 27.5+ just barely has room to slide through where the rail bolts to the shelf and brackets. don't have any fat bikes so didn't get any of the largest hooks. got my box rail from home depot and the back track actually sits lower than the front track, so i need to push the wheel a bike is hanging by toward the wall a little to let the trolley slide side to side, meaning they sort of lock themselves in place when hanging free.

@@chillchristopher Performax® 20" Platinum Heavy-Duty Shelf Bracket from Menards. they claim each pair can support up to 1000 lbs and it's been very sturdy for me with 6 bikes (one of which is an ebike) hanging from 4 brackets.

I am going to recreate this. How did you build the shelf that holds it? It looks very clean but I can't imagine a floating shelf being able to hold that much weight?
