NOTES

Make sure to use machine-threaded bike hooks (like Park Tool 450) for secure attachment—don’t use screw-threaded hooks.

Brackets should be mounted into wall studs at approximately 7" height unless your ceiling allows for direct mounting.

The sliding system works like a closet rail—move bikes side to side to access each one easily.
