A wide range of tires can fit in this fold-down rack, which is also the easiest vertical rack to get a bike into and out of.

OutdoorGearLab

The Steadyrack Classic is a cleverly designed, vertical wall-mounted bike rack. This rack opens easily and then folds conveniently flat when not in use, giving it an impressively low profile. When installed at the proper height for your bike, loading it is as simple as tipping the bike on its rear wheel and rolling the front wheel into the wheel tray. The wheel tray only makes contact with the front tire, reducing the likelihood of damage to fancy wheels and carbon frames. Steadyrack claims the Classic can accommodate wheel sizes between 20 and 29-inches in diameter and tire widths from 20mm up to 2.1-inches wide. Steadyrack also makes three other versions of this rack, Mountain for tires between 2.1 and 2.8-inches wide, Fat for tires up to 5-inches wide, and Fender for bikes with fenders and tires up to 2.4-inches in width. All Steadyrack models have a unique pivot feature, and once loaded, the bike can be shifted to either side to reduce how far it protrudes into your storage space. Its 77 lb &#40;35kg&#41; weight limit should be enough to handle any bike in your quiver, including heavy electric models.
As a wall-mounted rack, the Steadyrack Classic requires you to drill into your walls to install it &#40;4 holes for the rack and 2 holes for the rear tire bumper&#41;. Once installed, its height is not adjustable, and may not work perfectly for bikes with different length wheelbases. It's also relatively expensive for a single bike rack, although we feel the expense is justified considering its thoughtful design, quality construction, and ease of use, making it our top recommendation.

 Trying to get the cap off one of the latches on the side broke off on the rack side. Fortunately it was a top cap so the cap still covers but is not secured. This is a bad design and it's hard to get the caps on and off and they are easy to break. Be careful with this part of the assembly (remove and replacement

Good solution for ebikes in tight spaces

I was needing to get multiple bikes out of the way in our garage. These SteadyRack's caught my attention because once the bikes are hanging up, you can angle them left or right. The fact that they can pivot on the mount allowed even more room. My only issue with them is the cost

 My need to get the project completed, didn't allow me much time to look around for similar options or to compare prices with other racks. These appeared to meet my needs and could get here in the time frame I needed them, so I purchased three. (The different cap colors in the pictures were purchased separately on their website.) Watch the mounting video's on YouTube and you shouldn't have any trouble hanging them

SteadyRack's work but they are expensive

I have a two-car garage just large enough for two cars. The bikes had to be stored in something the girls could operate and made room for the cars. Ceiling racks were out because they're too high. Even conventional wall racks are hard to hoist a bike into and they can take entire walls to accommodate a family of bikes

 The steady rack solved both problems: it is easy to mount a bike and it stores them in a compressed configuration, allowing plenty of room for opening car doors while in the garage. I was very happy to discover the racks were well built and mounted to the wall easily and permanently. These are well engineered. My only negative is the price, which too quickly climbs when buying several

 These are well engineered. My only negative is the price, which too quickly climbs when buying several.

A solid solution

 Measure twice, drill once! The only other note, was that in my haste - and without giving it much thought - I used the wrong fastener to hang the first rack. The racks come with both lag bolts & truss-head wood screws, which I dumped out on the workbench, and by the time went to hang the first rack, my son handed me the screw and it stripped going in - quite easily. Oops! I should have known better - so I'm mentioning it for those who do not know better. The rack should be installed with the "hex" headed lag bolt

 Steadyrack does not disappoint. This product is all that is cracked up to be and in my opinion, worth the money.  I bought a four-pack for my family, and an additional fender-style for my retro bike. The area where all bikes are hanging is 71" wide

 I looked at several systems and read reviews (noted that children had difficulty hooking bike tires, between spokes & balancing, etc), ultimately deciding to spend way more than I had planned on the Steadyrack. It was a slam-dunk. Steadyrack does not disappoint. This product is all that is cracked up to be and in my opinion, worth the money

Worth every penny

 Oh! One last note on installation: As you can see, we've installed our racks into concrete block. Drilling for and installing anchors into masonry is never easy, but since the rack is made in Australia you should be prepared to either suffer through the arduous task of hand-tightening bolts with an adjustable wrench (as I did) or get some metric-sized bolt drivers.

While planning for a garage renovation that took our house from a 1-car garage to a 2-car garage, we wanted to ensure we would be able to store our family's bikes in an efficient manner, but also make it easier for everybody to retrieve them when they wanted to take a ride. The renovation is almost at an end, and you can see the results..

I took a look at the geo on the Jari, it's more relaxed than a racing road bike would be but not too far off the mark of what you'd get with an endurance model, so it seems you picked middle of the road fairly well. For everything you described that you need your bike to do it sounds to me like you picked well. 1. I rode TRP mech discs for 4 years, always hated how hard it was to brake in the hoods (& I have reasonably good grip strength)

I'm wanting to get into biking for both the exercise and the thrill of it. For the most part, I'm not at all concerned with "road cyclist" things like watts and times and weight and aerodynamics. I simply want to ride for both the mental and physical health benefits. 

Having said that, as I continue to research, I'm coming across a bit of buyer's remorse. My bike hasn't arrived yet, but I'm wondering if a road bike would've been able to do everything I want to do with a bike anyways. 

I do want to ride on the road, but as I'm just getting back into biking after a long hiatus, I'll be sticking to trails until I get comfortable on it again. But I've seen that road bikes are still capable of some (very light) off-roading when need be, especially if modified or with the right tires. 

I expect that at least 70% of my riding will be on tarmac, while the other 30% will be a mixture of dirt or gravel trails (mostly because I am limited to what I can bike in my area, and there aren't many off-road trails near me). 

The biggest advantage I like with the gravel bike is that I have nearly every mount attachment possible on it, so it will make trips to the grocery store and the like a breeze, which would be more difficult to do on the road bike. 

I just feel that because I am doing the vast majority of my riding on tarmac, maybe a gravel bike is a bit too "adventure forward" for my needs? I do like having the ability to go off-road if necessary though, and I did go for a gravel bike that leans more towards road geometry than road (Fuji Jari). 

So I do think I've reached a good compromise, but maybe I was just underestimating road bike versatility? What do you guys think?

And in terms of upgrades, I have some real noobie questions:

1. The only thing the Jari didn't have on my checklist was hydraulic brakes. It has disc mechanical brakes. My question is, can I simply upgrade to hydraulic ones at any given time? Or does the frame need to be compatible with it in order to do so? I am very new to the mechanics of bicycles. 

2. Would a suspension seat post and stem (something like the redshift products) be a worthwhile first upgrade? Over the wheels for example. I think it's going to be something I'll want, it seems like it would come in handy for not only off-road, but also when I eventually work my way back up to commuting. 

3. As far as wheels/tires, the Jari comes with 700c, but I always read that it's better to upgrade to a wider tire (650b in this case). Is this going to make a much more noticeable difference in comfort levels? Will I lose speed on tarmac with wider tires? Not that I'm concerned with speed, but when I do get to commuting, the faster the better obviously.

Did I make the correct decision in getting a gravel bike as my one singular "do-it-all" bike over a road? And other questions concerning upgrades (hydraulic brakes, suspension seatpost, wheels)

Not a single puncture in a year, minimal maintenance, and I can run lower pressure, thus making the ride more comfortable. A no-brainer upgrade for me. - The Jari comes both with a 2x and a 1x setup.

 Drivetrain wise, the 1.3 is a one by drivetrain, so that means we're rocking a single ring up front a 40 tooth in fact, and then out back it has the Sram apex one by system. So this apex one by system runs an 11 to 42 tooth gear range in the back operating to that 40 tooth up front, so you get less than a one to one ratio which is good for climbing, but then you have all that range in the back with this one by crankset, operating with a clutch mechanism to help keep things nice and quiet and shifting. that one by system is the Sram Apex shifters

So these are a double tap shifter which is a pretty neat way to shift. So if you click once, that goes to harder gear, click twice and that goes to an easier gear

3 talk about the frame, the specs on it, as well as find out exactly what it weighs. So if this kind of thing is interesting to you, I suggest you stick around and let's check out this bike together. The Fuji Jari Series is Fuji's take on an inventor ready gravel bike. So this gravel bike has a neutral position so it would be fine to be able to do a performance type event, some light bike packing or touring if that's what you're into

 So here we're rocking Fuji's A6 super butted Aluminum which essentially means that this is a shaped and butted aluminum frame. It runs a tapered steer tube down to this carbon fiber fork, which of course runs through axle. It's also got integrated fender mounts and triplicate mounts to be able to run a bag or bottle on the fork, and then the frame is all internal cable routing with everything running through. Nice and smooth with triple kit mounts on the down tube, double water bottle mounts on the seat tube, and just below where the bottom bracket is is also another mount for a water bottle

Did FUJI nail the "Adventure Gravel" bike?

 For the price this is a very solid buy. It doesn’t have hydraulic disc brakes or top of the line mechanical disc brakes, but it rides smooth on all surfaces and stops well. I’ve taken it on gravel, grass fields, and paved roads with no issues. The wiggle team sent it nearly fully assembled and in great condition

Great Gravel Bike For The Price

 Um, and you're also getting you. You have to be a little bit mindful of stand over clearance and things like that because it is quite a tall bike. It's a big bike. So um, you did mention that it's uh, it's got mounting points and accessories for days

 There's really very little that they could have included that they didn't in terms of mounting points. Uh, let's talk about the wheel set. Yeah, Wilson is a Dt Swiss G 1800 spline. It's a 25 millimeter width

 Yeah, so Fuji said that This is one of the lighter frames gravel frames on the market. So the frame weight is below a kilogram, which is impressively light. The fork weight is around 400 grams which is also quite light. It builds into into this quite handsome looking bike
