Bike Racks

How to choose your bike wall mount

Start with weight — it is the first spec that matters for any wall mounted bike rack. A carbon road bike sits around 7–9 kg, a gravel bike 8–11 kg, a hardtail MTB 11–14 kg, and an e-bike can reach 25 kg with the battery in. If your e-MTB is heavy, remove the battery before hanging and always read the stated max load. Solid oak is dense and rigid, so it carries road, gravel and city bikes off the floor with no flex.

Next, look at clearance from the wall. A modern MTB flat bar can be 780–800 mm wide, which pushes the bike further out than a road bike's drop bars. Measure your handlebar before you mount in a narrow hallway. Check too for fenders, cables, a dropper post or a rear rack on a commuter — they can sit in the cradle's path.

Then choose your orientation. A horizontal bike wall mount holds the bike by the top tube, parallel to the wall, for the most decorative look. A vertical bike mount hangs it by the front wheel, perpendicular, for maximum floor space — the classic garage and apartment bike storage move. A simple bike hook works for the rim, but a cradle that supports the frame is gentler.

Frame-friendly design: why it protects carbon

Carbon frames decide it for many riders. A metal clamp concentrates pressure on a thin-walled top tube; ours never clamps. The oiled oak cradles the frame and lets it rest, so the paint, the lacquer and the carbon layup stay protected — no cork, no pinch point. Steel, aluminium and titanium frames are just as happy, and the contact surface is shaped to hold without marking. This is what separates a piece of furniture from a garage hook.

Why solid oak, handmade in France

Oak is the right wood for the job: dense, rigid and stable, it holds a road or gravel bike on the wall without sagging over time. Each bike wall mount is carved in our Gironde workshop and finished with beeswax and linseed oil, an open natural grain that warms a living room or hallway and ages instead of chipping. It ships with a complete fixing kit and 100% recyclable packaging — a design object, not a throwaway rack.

Horizontal vs vertical: which to pick

Vertical, by the front wheel, is the most compact and the best space-saving bike storage for a garage, a stairwell or a small apartment. Horizontal, by the top tube, shows the whole bike like rolling sculpture and reads as décor above a console or a desk. A fixie, a vintage steel road bike or a clean gravel build deserves the horizontal treatment; a daily commuter often goes vertical to clear the hall.

A gift idea — and the N+1 rule

A solid oak bike wall mount is a thoughtful gift for any cyclist, roadie or bike commuter — a present that protects a bike they love and looks good every day. And once the first one is up, the N+1 rule tends to win: most riders come back for a second mount when the next bike arrives.
