Rak.Bike Storage hooks are compatible with standard 41mm x 41mm x 2.5mm Channel Strut widely available in lengths up to 6 metres. To save on expensive courier charges for oversized items it is recommended that you purchase your Channel Strut locally. This is a commonly used construction product used extensively in the electrical and plumbing trades. Google 'Channel Strut' and you will find lots of local and national suppliers. If you shop around you will find 3 metre lengths for as little as £10 - £20. If you need Channel Strut delivered some suppliers offer nationwide delivery.

Installation is quick and simple to complete with a few basic DIY tools. Ensure the structure you are attaching to is strong enough to hold the weight of your rack and contents.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126246936161
Weight Test Result: The recommended weight limit for this product is 20kg. Above this weight, due to the square nature of the jaw, signs of deformation will occur. However the product held strong when our maximum test weight of 48kg was applied and returned to it’s original form when the weight was removed. Because of this we have not recommended this for use above 20kg.

Below are a few commonly asked questions.
Why don’t we supply channel strut?
The cost of shipping channel strut exceeds the cost of the product so it makes no sense for you or us to supply this component. Channel Strut is widely used and is available throughout all countries. A quick Google search will reveal lots of suppliers. Shop around for a good price and/or a local supplier. If you need delivery you will find some suppliers that offer a delivery service.
How far away from the wall should you install your Channel Strut?
As a guide, little over the radius of the biggest wheel you intend to store is a good starting point.
Do hooks rotate?
No Rak.Bike hooks are installed in a fixed position. In our experience hooks which rotate create difficulties when trying to locate wheels onto your storage system. Rotating hooks for bicycle storage is unnecessary as bicycles can be rotated as appropriate before hanging.
How much room does each bike take up?
As bicycles can be overlapped the space required for storage can be minimised dramatically. Obviously it depends on the size of the bikes you intend to store, however in the image above 9 bicycles of varying sizes are stored within a horizontal distance of 1.83m/6'. When selecting the size of your rail allow extra so bikes can be rolled away from each other for easy access.
How long does UK shipping take?
We aim to ship all orders within 1 working day of receipt or your order. During busy periods this may be extended by an extra day.
