Unorthodox but very effective deployment.
I purchased this specific product because I appreciated the rail which would allow me to adjust the pulley spacing (as opposed to absolute locations for mounting standalone pulleys). I know the instructions show to hoist the bicycle in a vertical hanging position (i.e., tires down attitude); however, I did not want the entire bike hanging down and wanted to leverage the space available above my car. I did some testing prior to installation and was able to identify secure mount points that provide proper balance when hanging horizontally (i.e., on its side). See pics. Pros: solid overall design and components, flexible hooks, easy lifting/lowering, well packaged, price/value Cons: screws need to be stronger (I broke 2 of the heads whilst screwing into studs - even after drilling holes), instructions could be clearer with regard to threading of rope through the 'locking' mechanism (trial and error as I've never seen this type of system before). Suggestions: use slots instead of absolute placement of mount points to allow greater flexibility of placement on studs (I would like to have mounted it a bit more closely to the cabinets but the screw holes would not allow it. Yes...I could have drilled new holes but was not that motivated for the extra effort). Overall: I recommend this product.
