Ikea bike rack

I was at Ikea recently doing some christmas shopping and I came across this thing. It’s more suited for other uses (with 2 posts, it’s a really cool shelving thing). But it makes for a pretty cool bike rack.

Where are your road bikes?

I am glad to se that it’s an indoor rack from Ikea. I had horror visions of you putting your tri bike on top of the car on a rack that attaches by keying studs into laminated particleboard . . . .

I used the same thing at BTAC (Canadian Interbike) show. Worked very well.

The Orbea was my road bike, converted tri bike. I was going to convert it back to a road bike when I got the p2sl, but if you look closely at the rear wheel, there is a drill bit sticking out of the lower right side. When I ran over that, it bent my chainstay (or something around there) and now my rear wheel rubs the frame a little, so it’s a project on hold for now.

Bummer!

how do you like your p2sl? I have been tossing up either the p2sl or the kuota k-factor…your input would be appreciated

fricken cool
.

I have that. The one thing I find frustrating it that the bike seems to spin around on those hooks. Does this happen to you?

It’s a very solid bike. I don’t know anything about the kuota, but I have absolutely no issues with the p2sl. It’s light, handles great, very smooth and fast ride.

I do! I just put this up last night, so I haven’t had much chance to mess with it, but I’m going to try to stabilize the little bike arm things so they don’t move. If I come up with something, I’ll let you know :slight_smile:

Please do. That’s the only fault of that contraption.

Trust the Swedes to come up with something so practical. Thanks for the post. Looks like I’ll be visiting Ikea.
