2 BIKE FREESTAND STORAGE RACK
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE. We take a SATISFACTION GUARANTEED approach to our
products and our business, if you are not satisfied in any way, or if we can provide you with assistance
or information, PLEASE call us or e-mail us.
This 2 Bike Freestand™Bicycle Storage System is designed to hold up to 4 Bicycles. The Bicycle Holder Arms can be
adjusted in 3 different ways to hold Bicycles level. Maximum load is 200 pounds. Overall height of unit is 84 inches.

Pre - Assembly:
1. Unload all contents from box and check to make sure all parts and components are present
2. Thread Knob into Part (G) Bike Arm Bar (approx. 10 turns to the right). Repeat until all 4 Bike Arm Bars have
Knobs in them. Set these parts to the side.
Assembly:
Step 1: For this step you’ll need 1 part B, 1 part C, 1 Long SHCS screw, 1 Washer, 1 Cap Nut, Small Hex Key, Large Hex Key
We are going to attach part C to part B using 1 Long SHCS screw, 1 Washer, and 1 Cap Nut. Line up Part C to Part B as
shown in picture below. Next insert the Cap Nut into back side of part B and hold in place with fingers. Finally, Run Long
SHCS screw through the washer, into Part C and into Cap Nut located inside Part B. Tighten by hand and use hex keys as
needed to tighten. DO NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE WAY YET – JUST SNUG.
Step 2: Repeat Step 1 with other Part B and Part C.
Step 3: For this step you’ll need 1 part F, 1 bolt, 1 nut, and one of the assembled parts B/C you just created from steps
above
We will now attach Part F to part B using 1 bolt and 1 nut. The Bolt will run through part F, through part B, through part C,
and then we’ll attach the nut onto the bolt and hand tighten. See pictures below for clarification.

Step 4: For this step you’ll need the parts B/C/F assembly you just created, other parts B/C assembly, 1 bolt, 1 nut
Repeat the steps from Step 3 above to attach part F to the other parts B/C assembly. The finished assembly should resemble
image below:
Step 5: For this step you’ll need the above assembly as well as part D, 2 Long SHCS screws, 4 washers, and 2 cap nuts
Line up part D so the mounting holes line up with the holes on the forward legs of the above assembly. Insert 1 cap nut into
back of above assembly mounting hole and hold with finger in place. Next, insert 1 long SHCS screw through 2 washers, part
D, through above assembly, and into the cap nut. Tighten by hand or with hex keys as needed. DO NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE
WAY YET – JUST SNUG.
Repeat for other side of Part D. Finished Assembly should
a appear like picture below:

Step 6: For this step you’ll need both the large and small hex keys and the assembly we’ve been creating
At this point we can now tighten all the SHCS screws and bolts we’ve used to this point. It will be helpful to place this
assembly on the floor in the area you intend to use it so that you can get the unit as level as possible based on the specific
area you plan on using it. The important thing to remember here is that part D should set flat on the floor and touch as much
of the floor as possible. Additionally, you want each of the four legs to touch the floor. You can slightly adjust the assembly as
needed and tighten the various screws and bolts once you’ve got the assembly configured to set level on your floor. It might
also be helpful to have someone help you during this step, with one person adjusting the legs and stabilizer bar as the other
tightens the various SHCS screws and bolts. It may take several attempts to get it exactly how you’d like it depending on your
floor. If it isn’t perfect, you can always go back and make adjustments at anytime in the future. It might also be helpful to
revisit the previous steps to this point to recall all of the screws and bolts that need final tightening.
Step 7: For this step you’ll need the assembly we’ve created, and 2 part G (Bike Arm Bars), 2 part H (Plastic Cradles), 2
part I – Rubber insert for Bike Cradles
We are now ready to slide two of the bike arms on the part B uprights. For straight tube bikes, slant tube frames 19” or less,
and extraordinary frame configurations we suggest mounting part G so that the tube is to the inside of part B upright. For
extra large frames, slant tube frames over 19”, and most BMX frames we suggest mounting part G so that the tube is to the
outside of part B upright. See images below for clarification. Once you determine which way you’ll mount them, simply slide
one over the top of part B, at least 3 inches below the holes at the top of part B, and tighten the Knob to prevent part G from
falling all the way down part B. Repeat for other side. Add Part H by sliding on part G, then insert Part I into Part H.
ARMS TURNED TO INSIDE OF PART B ARMS TURNED TO OUTSIDE OF PART B
(Straight Tube bikes, Slant Frames 19” or smaller) (Extra Large Frames, Slant Frames over 19”, BMX)
Step 8: For this step you’ll need the assembly we’ve created, 1 part J (upright internal connector), part E (Logo connector
plate), 2 Short SHCS screws, and 2 cap nuts.
This step is easiest achieved by laying the assembly down on the floor. First, take part J and insert it into one of the part B
uprights as shown below making sure the holes are lined up. Next, we’ll position part E Next to part J and part B as shown in
the diagram. Finally, we’ll insert 1 cap nut into the bottom hole of B and into J, and we’ll then insert a small SHCS screw
through the bottom hole of part E, through part B, through part J and into the cap nut. Tighten with your hand for now. DO
NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE WAY YET – JUST SNUG. Repeat for hole above. Steps are indicated below:

Step 9: For this step you’ll need the assembly we’ve created, 1 part J (upright internal connector), 2 Short SHCS screws,
and 2 cap nuts.
Repeat Step 8 for the other part B upright using the other part J (upright internal connector). Tighten with your hand for now.
DO NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE WAY YET – JUST SNUG. Repeat for hole above. Finished Process should appear like this:

Step 10: For this step you’ll need the 2 part A, and 2 part G (Bike Arm Bars), 2 part H (Plastic Cradles), 2 part I – Rubber
insert for Bike Cradles
Before we mount the Uprights (part A) to the assembly we’ve created, we need to slide the Bike Arm Bars onto them. For
straight tube bikes, slant tube frames 19” or less, and extraordinary frame configurations we suggest mounting part G so that
the tube is to the inside of part B upright. For extra large frames, slant tube frames over 19”, and most BMX frames we
suggest mounting part G so that the tube is to the outside of part B upright. See Step 7 above for clarification. Once you
determine which way you’ll mount them, simply slide one on to the bottom of part A (end with 2 holes in it) and about half way
up, then tighten the Knob to prevent part G from falling all the way down part A. Repeat for other side. Add parts H and I as
before.

Step 11: For this step you’ll need our assembly so far, 1 part A, 2 Short SHCS screws, 2 Cap Nut, Small Hex Key, Large
Hex Key
We are going to attach part A to the assembly now using part J and part G just like we just completed in Steps 8 and 9. First
we’ll slide part A over part J and into position on top of part B and in between part J and part G. Next we’ll attach part A using
the same process as Steps 8 and 9. Finally, we can line up part A and B and use the Hex Keys to tighten all SHCS screws as
tight as possible.
Step 12: For this step you’ll need our assembly so far, 1 part A, 2 Short SHCS screws, 2 Cap Nut, Small Hex Key, Large
Hex Key
Repeat Step 10 for other side. Finished assembly should appear like image below:

Step 13: For this step you’ll need the assembly we’ve created, 1 part F, 2 short SHCS screws, 2 cap nuts, small hex key,
large hex key
It’s time to add the top connector bar across parts A. To do this, line up the holes of part F and parts A, and insert 1 cap nut
in the back of part A. Insert short SHCS screw through part F, into part A, and into cap nut. Hand tighten. Repeat the process
for the other side. Finally, use hex keys to tighten down tight.
Step 14: For this step you’ll need the assembly we’ve created, and the plastic end caps for part A (If they aren’t already
installed)
Pop in plastic end cap in top end of part A. Repeat for other side.
Your rack is completed. Adjust Arms up and down along parts A and B to accommodate your bicycle frames and make sure
to tighten the Bike arm Knobs when adjustments are made. It’s easiest to start with the bike arms as far up on parts A and B
as possible, and work to adjust the top bicycle first, then the bottom one.
