Step 2Dimensions are the key
OK. this whole setup is totally simple. The only trick to the double-level rack is to get the correct spacing of the bikes both horizontally and vertically.
- In order to not have the bottom row of bikes flop all around the rear wheel MUST be off the ground.
- The bottom row of hooks should be 65" (1.65m) off the ground.
- The top row of hooks should be 14" (350mm) higher than the bottom row - this keeps the handlebars and cranks of the top row clear of the bottom row.
- spacing between hooks at the same level: 24 inches (600mm). This gives you 11 or 12-inch overall bike spacing.
- you can reduce the spacing a little, the more you reduce the more tangling you will have trying to get the bikes in and out. at 24-inches the handlebars on mountain-bikes will be just next to each other. if you only have road-bikes you can do 22 inch spacing.
