BYHUME Bike Rack Garage,Bike Wall Mount, 150° Swivel & Space-Saving Vertical Bike Hangers for Storage, Sturdy Bike Stand Holds Up to 66lbs, Easy to Install, 2 Pack

Why I tried a swiveling wall mount

My garage isn’t small, but bikes have a way of sprawling. I’ve used basic vertical hooks before; they’re cheap and effective, but handlebars jut out, and it’s easy to create a traffic jam near the car. The BYHUME swivel rack promised a simple upgrade: a vertical hanger that rotates 150° so the bike can sit flatter against the wall. I installed the two-pack to manage a 29er trail bike and a road bike, aiming for more aisle clearance and a cleaner layout.

Installation and setup

Each rack ships with mounting hardware for concrete, masonry, or stud walls. I put one into a 2x4 stud and the other into a concrete wall.

What I used:
- Stud finder and tape measure
- 1/8" and 5/16" drill bits (pilot holes for wood and masonry)
- Impact driver/socket driver
- Level and pencil

The mounting plate has straightforward hole spacing and enough surface area to feel secure. In wood, lag screws bit confidently and pulled the plate flush with no flex. In concrete, the included anchors gripped well after a proper pilot hole.

Time-wise, it was under 10 minutes per rack once I marked heights. For a typical 700c/29" wheel, a hook height around 68–72 inches keeps the rear wheel on the ground with a gentle contact on the stabilizer. BYHUME includes a rear wheel stabilizer pad; mount this so the tire touches it when the bike hangs. It keeps the rear from scuffing the wall and helps resist side-to-side sway.

Important note: don’t mount into drywall alone. This is a 66 lb (30 kg) load per rack, concentrated at a single point. You need a stud or solid masonry.

Build quality and design

The main hanger is powder-coated steel with a rubber-coated hook and a V-shaped, anti-slip pattern where the tire meets the cradle. Finish quality is good—no sharp edges, clean welds, and even coating. The hook’s rubber is thick enough to feel substantial and resists tackiness that can mark rims.

Two small details matter:
- The V-shaped pattern does add grip. With a slightly dusty tire, my bike didn’t creep or rotate on the hook.
- The PVC pads on the body and the rear wheel stabilizer keep paint and carbon safe from accidental rubs.

The rated capacity is 66 lb per rack. That’s ample for most road, gravel, and many mountain bikes. Some heavier e-bikes can approach or exceed that, and even if they don’t, hoisting a 55–60 lb e-bike by the front wheel is a different ergonomic challenge. I stuck to bikes under 35 lb for daily use.

The swivel: does it actually save space?

Yes—this is the reason to buy this rack. The pivot uses a bearing-supported mechanism that swings smoothly left or right up to 150°. There’s no harsh detent; friction holds the position. Once the front wheel is on the hook and the rear tire is in light contact with the stabilizer, I can swing the whole bike against the wall one-handed.

In practice, the benefit is twofold:
- Handlebar clearance: turning the bike parallel to the wall reduces bar intrusion into your walkway. I gained a comfortable 6–10 inches of aisle space compared to a fixed vertical hook.
- Tight parking: If your rack is near a car or shelving, rotating the bike keeps pedals and bars from snagging.

With two racks, the swivel lets you stagger the bikes in alternating directions, so they nest neatly without needing wide spacing. I mounted the plates on separate studs 16 inches apart and had no bar conflict after angling each bike toward opposite sides.

Day-to-day use

Hooking is quick: roll the bike in, tip the front wheel up, and place the rim/tire onto the rubber-coated hook. The rear wheel naturally settles onto the stabilizer pad. Lifting effort is minimal for sub-35 lb bikes; the motion is more of a tip-up than a dead lift.

Unhooking is similarly easy: rotate the bike out, lift slightly to clear the hook, and roll away. The smoothness of the swivel is what keeps the process pleasant—you don’t have to wrestle the bike to keep it from swinging.

Noise and wear have been non-issues so far. The bearing rotates quietly, and I haven’t noticed play developing. I do a quick fastener check monthly (habit from other wall mounts). No loosening yet.

Compatibility: what fits and what doesn’t

The rack is forgiving with most standard bikes:
- Works well with road, gravel, hybrids, hardtail and trail MTBs, and BMX.
- The hook and cradle play nicely with disc brakes and thru-axles.
- Full-coverage fenders are generally fine; I found the hook contacts the tire and doesn’t deform the fender if you approach straight-on.

Limits to note:
- Tire/rim depth over 3.5 in (90 mm) is not supported. Fat bikes are out, and some plus-size setups may be tight.
- Extremely deep-section aero rims (90 mm) can be awkward. I prefer to hang carbon wheels so the rubber grabs the tire, not the bare rim; this rack’s hook shape makes that straightforward on 25–45 mm rims.
- Very heavy e-bikes approach the weight limit and are unwieldy to tip vertically. If you plan to hang a 50+ lb e-bike daily, consider a lift-assist or a horizontal solution.

What I like

• Space efficiency: The 150° swing meaningfully reduces aisle clutter and makes side-by-side storage possible in narrow bays.
• Secure contact points: Rubber-coated hook, V-shaped grip, and rear stabilizer give a confident, rattle-free hold.
• Straightforward install: Clear hardware options, solid plate, and predictable anchors for wood or masonry.
• Build quality: Powder coat and hardware feel durable; no flaking or obvious shortcuts.
• Two-pack value: Setting up a matched pair simplifies spacing and layout in real spaces with studs at 16" OC.

What could be better

• No lock point: There’s no integrated ring or tab for a security cable. In a shared garage, you’ll need to improvise or rely on separate security.
• Swivel friction adjust: The bearing is smooth, but there’s no obvious user adjustment for friction or a parking detent. It held position fine for me, though a light-set detent would be reassuring in high-traffic areas.
• Anchor variety: The included anchors worked in my concrete, but brick and hollow block can be finicky. If you have marginal masonry, consider upgrading anchors to sleeve or toggle types appropriate to your wall.
• Height ergonomics: Shorter users may prefer the hook slightly lower than ideal. That can reduce how flat the bike sits when swiveled. It’s a trade-off worth considering during layout.

Tips for a clean install

• Map your studs first, then plan heights and left/right swivel directions so handlebars don’t clash.
• For 700c/29" wheels, aim the hook at ~70" from the floor; for smaller wheels, reduce accordingly. Install the rear stabilizer after test-hanging the bike.
• Pre-drill proper pilot holes—both for wood lags and masonry anchors—to avoid splitting studs or spinning anchors.
• If you’re hanging a carbon wheel, keep the tire properly inflated so the hook loads the tire carcass instead of the rim edge.

How it compares

Compared to fixed vertical hooks, the BYHUME rack wins on daily usability in tight spaces. The swivel alone justifies the upgrade if your aisles are narrow or you park near a vehicle. Against horizontal wall mounts, this keeps footprint smaller and fits more bikes in a given span, though horizontal mounts can be easier for very heavy bikes and can avoid front-wheel loading entirely. Ceiling hoists save floor space too, but they’re slower and fussier for frequent riders.

The bottom line

The BYHUME rack takes a proven vertical storage concept and adds a practical, well-executed swivel. Installation is painless, the build inspires confidence, and day-to-day use is quick and quiet. It won’t solve storage for fat bikes or very heavy e-bikes, and it isn’t a security device. But for most road and mountain bikes, especially in space-constrained garages or apartments with solid walls, it’s a smart, tidy solution.

Recommendation: I recommend the BYHUME swivel rack for riders who want to reclaim floor space without fighting their storage every time they roll in. The 150° rotation is genuinely useful, the 66 lb rating covers the majority of bikes, and the protective contact points keep wheels and walls in good shape. If your setup includes fat tires, very deep rims, or heavy e-bikes, look for a rack designed around those constraints; otherwise, this two-pack is an easy, reliable upgrade for clean, compact bike storage.
