Product Information

Full details

The Feedback Sports Velo Hinge 2.0 is designed for cyclists seeking to maximize storage space while keeping their bikes easily accessible. Its key benefit is the ability to securely hang a bike by its front wheel and swing it sideways, allowing it to tuck neatly against the wall. A potential caveat is the need for secure mounting to a wall stud, requiring basic DIY skills.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of the Velo Hinge 2.0?

The Velo Hinge 2.0 has a maximum weight capacity of 50 lbs.

Can I store my mountain bike with wide tires on this mount?

Yes, the Velo Hinge 2.0 is designed to accommodate wider mountain bike rims and tires.

What type of wall can I mount this on?

It is designed to be mounted securely into a wood frame wall stud. Mounting on other surfaces may require different hardware and expertise.

How do I adjust the swinging resistance?

The pivoting resistance can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the main hinge mechanism, typically with a tool.

Does it come with all the necessary mounting hardware?

Yes, the Velo Hinge 2.0 includes the necessary hardware for mounting to a wood frame wall stud.

Can I hang my bike by the rear wheel instead?

While primarily designed for front-wheel hanging, some users might find a way to adapt it for rear-wheel hanging, but this is not the intended use and may affect stability.

What does the '2.0' signify?

The '2.0' indicates an updated version of the original Velo Hinge, featuring improvements like a stiffer body, longer wheel hook, and added grip tape based on customer feedback.

Troubleshooting

Bike swings too freely or is unstable.

Adjust the pivoting resistance by tightening the hinge mechanism. Ensure the grip tape on the tire contact plate is clean.

Mounting holes do not align with stud.

Re-check stud location or use a slightly different position on the same stud. Ensure you are mounting directly into the center of the stud.

Bike does not hang securely on the hook.

Verify the bike's front wheel is properly seated. Ensure the hook is not obstructed and is at the correct angle for your wheel type.

Rear wheel bumper is not keeping the bike vertical.

Adjust the position of the rear wheel bumper on the floor so it makes firm contact with the tire when the bike is hung.
