Product Information
Full details
The Oxford Vertical Bike Holder (DS360) is an ideal storage solution for cyclists living in apartments, garages, or sheds with limited floor space who need a reliable, space-saving way to store their bicycles. Its primary benefit is the pivoting arm, which allows the bike to sit flush against the wall, significantly reducing its profile; however, users should be aware that the installation surface must be structurally sound, such as brick or timber stud, to safely support the weight of the bicycle.

FAQs
Does it fit electric bikes?
It is rated for a maximum of 22kg. Please verify the weight of your e-bike including the battery before mounting.
Can I mount this on plasterboard?
No, it is not recommended to mount directly into hollow plasterboard. You must locate a timber stud behind the plasterboard to ensure safety.
Will this scratch my bike rims?
The hook is designed to be gentle, but you can add a small piece of protective tape or foam to the hook if you are concerned about your specific rim finish.
How far does it stick out from the wall?
When not in use or when the bike is pivoted, it maintains a very low profile to stay clear of walking areas.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a drill, appropriate drill bits for your wall type, a screwdriver, and a spirit level to ensure the rack is mounted straight.
Troubleshooting
Rack feels loose on the wall
Ensure you have mounted the base plate directly into a stud or solid masonry. If mounted into drywall without anchors, move to a stud location.
Pivot arm is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot point and work the arm back and forth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Pivoting arm saves significant floor space
- Sturdy construction supports up to 22kg
- Adjustable design fits a wide range of bike frame sizes
- Includes all necessary mounting hardware
Cons
- Requires drilling into a wall or stud
- Not suitable for drywall without a solid mounting point
- Vertical lifting is required to hook the bike
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a drill, a wall mount point (such as a masonry wall or a sturdy timber wall stud), and the included hardware.
- Measure the height of your bike to ensure the rear wheel clears the floor when hung.
- Mark the hole positions on the wall using the rack as a template.
- Drill pilot holes suitable for your wall type (use masonry bits for brick/concrete).
- Secure the mount using the provided screws and plugs.
For care, periodically check that the mounting bolts remain tight. If the hook is used frequently, a small amount of rubber lubricant can be used to keep the pivot point moving smoothly.
