Feedback Sports Rakk XL Bike Storage Stand (Black)

Finally decided to get a bike stand for my two mountain bikes, a Specialized Rockhopper Hardtail & a GT Fury Downhill bike. My Specialized Rockhopper has 26.0 inch rims with 2.0 inch tires in the front and rear, while my GT Fury has 27.5 inch rims with a 2.35 inch front tire and a 2.5 inch rear tire.I originally bought two of the standard sized version of this stand, Feedback Sports RAKK Bicycle Storage Stand. My Specialized Rockhopper fit perfectly with that stand and I had no issues with it. My GT Fury's tires were right in the middle/gray area when it came to the size guidelines. That stand is rated to fit tires sized 20mm to 2.4 inches. That said, my GT Fury did fit into the stand, however, as others had pointed out, pushing the size limit caused the stand to not want to let go of the bike when trying to remove it. You could still get the bike out, but it took some awkward wiggling.For this reason, I decided to buy this FATT version of the stand, which is rated to hold tires that are 2.5-5.0 inches wide. I read all of the reviews for this wider version, including ones that mentioned their tires were on the small side of the scale at 2.5 inches. These reviews said that their bike would not stay upright because their tires were too small. I decided to take a chance though.That chance paid off. As shown in the attached pictures, the stand actually comes with a small, gray, plastic, removable insert that is designed to accommodate tires on the small end of the scale. I wanted to make sure other interested buyers saw this because it is never mentioned in the description of the item or shown in any of the pictures.Hope this review helps you make a decision on whether to buy this awesome bike stand!

But it actually does do a good job

The rack had excellent build quality and was ready to use out of the box with no assembly. Press one button and fold open. The rack did well when racking a smaller bmx bike but did not do so good when racking a large mountain bike with 29x2.6 tires and a full suspension. The bike was just two long and heavy and did not want to hold the bike upright. The bike would lean to one side and eventually want to fall over.

I'm familiar with the other bike supporting devices that are out there, but none are better than this in terms of quality materials and for excellent bike support while still providing a small floor footprint.

Will not hold an e-mtb upright, the base is too narrow, so unless you have the bike very carefully centered the whole thing just tips over

The Base that cradles & pinches tire needs to be adjustable.A 2.6 tire fits loosely and bike will fall over if not careful.Built well just not enough R&D before put to market...A Heavy ebike will fall over!

i love these Feedback Racks so much i now own one regular and 2 XL racks. they connect together to keep your bikes lined up and also work perfectly one there own balancing the bike upright and very sturdy. the XL is great for 2.8-3”+ tires!!

I have several of these stands. Love them. They're light and portable. I use them in the house for floor storage and then when I'm traveling. I just fold it and throw it in the trunk and when I get to my destination pull it out and I've got a stand ready to go. Doesn't matter if I'm in parking lot before a ride, a hotel over night or at my destination. I've got stand and don't have to lean my bike against walls, cars, trees, small children, etc.
