How to measure your bike
Wheel size is the diameter of your wheel from edge to edge (A).
Tire width is the width of the tire on the wheel (B).
It’s the combination of these two numbers that determine which type of bike rack to choose.
Similar to car tires, all bike tires have markings on them. These will almost always give you the tire width and the wheel diameter you need to match them to the correct Steadyrack cycle rack.
If you can't find the markings on your tire you can simply use a tape measure to get measurements A and B.
Match your tire markings or measurements to our bike rack types above, under the 'bike specs' section. Combine this with the below steps to find the best Steadyrack to suit your bike.

Steadyrack FAQs
Will hanging my bike damage the bike frame or forks?
Hanging a bike in Steadyrack will not cause any damage to your bike. No part of the bike frame touches the rack, only the front tire, which is cradled in the steel arms.
What is the best MTB rack for long-term mountain bike storage?
Storing your MTB vertically in our wall-mounted bike rack will keep your forks well lubricated as it allows the fluid inside to run to the seals, prolonging their use. As our bike rack holds your MTB by the tire only (it does not touch any other part of your bike), storing vertically will also protect your bike frame. By keeping your bike stored vertically and the forks lubricated, you’ll be shredding the trails harder and faster!
Can I lock my bike to a Steadyrack?
You can lock your bikes into our racks with a D Lock or Chain lock. This is sufficient to prevent opportunist theft and adequate if your bikes are stored in a private carpark. If your bikes are in a location fully accessible to the public, we recommend installing a bracket or a steel rail to the wall underneath the rack to attach a locking device to. As with everything, take caution when storing your bike in a public place, as professional thieves can generally get around any locking system.
Do the racks swing freely?
Steadyracks are assembled using a specific tension for the nuts (torque setting = 5nm) that holds the central spine to the top and bottom mounting brackets. This setting is designed to give sufficient tension to the pivot to ensure bikes can be loaded on any angle without the rack moving around too much. When you remove the 2 plastic caps from the top and bottom, the nuts are exposed. You can loosen both nuts to free up the rack more, and equally you can tighten them to lock the rack into position. We recommend you maintain them so the racks are stiff but can still be pivoted. The rack can be quite stiff when you use it for the first few times but it does loosen over time. This is due to the type of fiber washers we use to assist with the stiffening effect.
Can I lock my Steadyrack into one position or any angle?
It is not possible to lock the rack solid in one position. However, you can tighten the nuts so the rack will become stiff and will effectively hold it in the one position. To do this, first remove the two, plastic mounting bracket covers (End Caps). Next, tighten the two nuts that attach the central pivot bar to the mounting brackets. If you follow these steps, we recommend checking your fixings carefully and making sure they are very secure as any sideways pressure on the rack could damage the mounting bracket.
Can the Steadyrack MTB rack be used for indoor, outdoor or garage storage?
Yes, our Steadyrack mountain bike racks can be used for indoor and garage storage! Storing your MTB indoors keeps it protected from the elements, and with our unique, space-saving bike racks, also opens heaps of room wherever you decide to store your bikes. Our MTB Racks are also ideal for garage storage. Their ability to pivot 160-degrees left and right means you can push your bikes close to the wall and easily park your car and fit your other belongings in the garage. Storing our MTB rack outdoors is definitely possible. To maintain the standard warranty, we recommend storing them in areas which are closed in, under cover or safe from the elements.
Will 2.8 inch tires fit in the mountain bike rack or does it need the fat rack?
Some of the newer plus-size MTB tyres have extra-large shoulder lugs (tread) which take the overall width past the actual measurement marked on the sidewall. If your tyres have extra wide lugs, you can still work to our sizes for our Mountain Bike Rack, but it will be a tighter fit. This might mean you have to push it into the rack and pull harder on the bike to dislodge it when you remove it. To avoid this, we recommend sizing up to the Fat Rack. The bike will sit nicely in the rack, but the front wheel may fall to one side slightly due to the larger gap. This does not affect usability or performance and will make it very easy to unload your bike.
