Hornit CLUG Bike Rack Wall Mounted | 5 Sizes | Easy To Install

Product Information

There are five different sizes of the Clug Pro available, in the same ranges as the standard Clug, which should cover the majority of bike tyre sizes. No, the Clug won't be for everyone, for every application. That's the beauty of cycling being a very broad church – there's room for innovation and specificity all over the shop. If the Clug looks like it will meet your needs, you won't be disappointed. Verdict

We designed CLUG to be a great fit with just about every bike tyre out there. We sell five versions of the CLUG - one to fit standard road bike tyres between Following on DaSy's excelent suggestion of screwing a toe strap to a wall - Why bother with the toe stap ~ For the ulitimate in striped down simplicity...Why not simply screw the wheel to the wall?This time it took 55N of force to pull the bike free - so for a halving of PSI, the force required dropped by 15%. The design depends on an amount of bulge in the tyre compared to the rim – a 'lightbulb' profile – for the Clug to grip. So if you are running 23mm tyres on a 23mm rim, it possibly won't have enough rubber to hang on to. What's wrong with a hook, you say? The problem with ceiling hooks is that they need to go into something as well, and unless they are supporting the entire weight of the bike they won't hold the wheel solidly, so bikes can swing around. With the rear wheel on the floor, the Clug is only bearing a bike load of a few hundred grams to keep it vertical/horizontal. The removal transient force approximates the weight of hanging a 7kg bike from a ceiling-mounted Clug. In other words, you can insert a 1-2kg wheel complete with tyre into a clug and it will stay put indefinitely – a good solution for storing a turbo wheel, or a spare set for different uses, like gravel riding or Sunday best. Faff - the beauty of the Clug is that you can push a bike home with one hand, into a tight space, and be done. If you had to reach past (around?) your bike to do up a toestrap with both hands, that would be a faff. and if the space were tight, possibly impossible, or highly-likely to see your arms/hands covered in filth from your rim. Possibly cut to ribbons by your steaming-hot disc rotor too.

Review: Hornit Clug | road.cc

The only niggle is I chain the bike up, the chain is heavy and the weight has pulled the road bike out of the clip once of twice., you just need to be careful how you position it. Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it? So, to summarise, sorry, we are all entiteld to our opinions, I am not having any of this, I disagree sir, nice looking product and nicely marketed and all that, but fundamentally design flawed and ergo I say not fit for purpose. One very minor gripe is the provision of Phillips screws rather than Pozidriv, although this is perhaps intentional, to prevent over-torquing the screws when installing. In useWe designed the CLUG PRO to be a great fit with just about every bike tyre out there. With five sizes to choose from (identical to the original CLUG), the CLUG PRO range is compatible with tyres between 23-81mm (1-3.2'). an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product It's a relatively easy fix, but if you want to ride in the rain the five to ten minute job that fitting rear mudguards can be is a little onerous (that and storing mudguards is a pain in my flat!).

Hornit Clug Bike Rack review - MBR

Cons: Each size is specific to a range of tyre widths, possible issue with deflating tyres over time, price I thought initially that a toe-strap was the ideal answer, but then it dawned on me that you could do away with the Clug altogether and just screw a toestrap to the wall with apropriate penny washers, and have pretty much the same result. Maybe it would be a bit floppy from side-to-side I suppose though.I very rarely comment, but this, sorry, 4.5 stars for something that will only hold a bike as long as it's tyre is the correct size, and inflated, and costs twice or more than equivalents? The Hybrid Clug is spec'd for tyres of 32mm minimum, but when holding a road bike horizontally I found it gripped the 22mm outside-width rim just fine. The 28mm tyre wasn't touching anything, but as all it's doing is providing a tiny balancing force this wasn't an issue. Longer-term storage And yes some of us do have seasonal bikes and did find them one day all scatered across the garage because the commute bike had a puncture so released itself overnight The premise of the Clug is simple: it's a clip that grips your tyre. That's it. Screw to the wall, insert bike. Done. Pull bike out, ride. Obviously something based on tyre size is going to need to accommodate a wide range of widths, so the Clug comes in three sizes: Roadie (23-32mm), Hybrid (33-42mm) and MTB (43-62mm/1.8-2.5in). I've reviewed the Roadie and Hybrid sizes. In the box are the Clug, instructions, and two screws and plastic plugs, for use in masonry or plasterboard. As with any DIY, you should be aware of what you're drilling into, and depending on the size of bike and surface you could always opt for a more solid retaining mechanism such as spring toggles. Once the body of the Clug is drilled to the wall, the curvy insert snaps into place and you're done. What works

Firstly, and foremost: just because I rate the Clug 4.5/5, doesn't detract from other options. The review is circa 1300 words, basically explaining my rating. That's the Road.CC difference. We live with products for months, then offer our opinions. We don't regurgitate PR or base findings on a day or two's use.Just thought on use with mudguards. Would using one of these on the front whel and also one on the rear wheel holding the bike slightly off the ground work? I don't know if it would hold but just a thought. OK, so a week further on, another test. This time the tyre's down to 14.5PSI (as measured with the same digital gauge).
