Clug MTB XL

When we moved to a new home I wanted to find a good solution for our bicycles in the garage, so I picked one of these up to give it a try.It works fine in general, but I have a few minor issues that would cause me to not buy any others:*If you bump into the bike it is likely to fall from the mount*you really need to keep your tires well inflated to avoid the bike falling on its own. Not a problem with bikes that are used often enough, but I have at least one that gets little use and this causes an issue.Note that I "fixed" these issues slightly by adding some velcro behind the strap around the wheel. This solution is a little bit of a pain and makes using the mount far less convenient than it could be.Given the cost of the CLUG, I will likely be using another solution, such as cheaper screw-in rubber coated hooks instead.

My roommate and I needed a way to efficiently store our multiple bikes without taking up a lot of space in our apartment or putting anchor holes in the wall. I got 3 of these CLUGs and installed each to a section of painted baseboard trim. I then used CommandStrips to adhere the trim to the wall (very solid hold against sheering forces). When its time to move, the CommandStrips will pull free without damaging the paint and I can take my snazzy little racks to their new home.With a small guard at the back-tire position to avoid marring the base of the wall, the bikes hang perfectly, neatly, and I didn't have to endanger my damage deposit.The CLUGs also work as advertised. I've had one bike fall over the last 6 months because I had a leak in the front tire and it went flat. Keep your tires inflated (at least above 15 psi I reckon), and you'll be fine.

I've purchased the small and medium size Clugs for differing tire sizes, and had fitment issues with both products. The Clug says it can fit a range of tire sizes in its description. However, if your tires are on the smaller size of the spectrum for your particular Small/Medium/Large Clug, I can virtually guarantee it will not fit. It will slide in, and then slide right back out without being held in place like the product is supposed to do. So just keep that in mind before you buy. If your bike is more in the middle or upper range of the dimensions, then this should work fine.Side note - The first Clug I purchased was missing the wall anchor and had to be exchanged. Wasn't a big ideal but still bothersome to buy a new product that doesn't include everything it's supposed to come with.

Overall good purchase. A bit pricey but it does the job. Only thing I will add is the sizing is weird. I have 2.5 MTB tires and went with the MTB xl. It squeezes in tightly but sits loose. It’s not really a problem because the weight of the bike will keep in place but it’s just not firm in there. Works fine though, even bumped it and it stayed in place. I’d say if your tire size is on the upper end of the spectrum, size up. The regular MTB size says it would fit up to 2.5 but I highly doubt that. I read another review that said they had 2.2 tires and they have to really push it in and it’s snug. So definitely size up if you fall on the larger end of the smaller size.Idk why people are complaining about installation. They must not be very handy because it was super easy. I did use smaller screws though because I think the ones provided are a bit big. It comes with drywall anchors too if needed.But ya $25 for a piece of plastic is a bit crazy but couldn’t find anything like it. I like the simplicity of pushing it right into a clip without having to maneuver to hang it on a hook. Works perfect for my 1 bed apartment.

I bought the Hornit to keep my bike upright (I'm clipping the front tire on it while both tires on the ground, horizontally) in my condo and unfortunately it was a disappointing purchase.For starters, there is no room for error when drilling holes for this thing. I was about a millimeter off on one of the screws and had to drill a larger hole in order to get the screw to line up with it. And the size of the hole you need to drill is much bigger than I had anticipated...Also, one of the screws I received was defective so thankfully I had one laying around that I could use.My bike tire is 32mm so I purchased the smallest Hornit after reading a review that said it would be better to have it snug than too loose. With my tire right on the edge of the small one and the next size up, I just don't think it's fully compatible with my bike. It takes some force to get it to clip in and once it's clipped, if I tip my bike over a few inches, it falls right over. Maybe the next size up would be better but I'm concerned that one would be too loose.I guess it will sort of do it's job as long as one handle bar uses the wall for support. I can't imagine that this thing could hold my bike up if I was trying to prop the front wheel up to hold it vertically. My bike is a Giant Escape so maybe it's just too heavy for the size of this clip.It's definitely overpriced at a $20 price point. $10 would be much more reasonable for a small piece of plastic and two screws.

These things are awesome!I have two mountain bikes, and I used to have them stood up in the corner of my dining room, with all of my gear just thrown all over in that same area. Eventually, I just got sick of how it looked. It was time to make a change, and after seeing these featured on YouTube by Seth's Bike Hacks, I decided to pick two of them up and see what I could do.Installation was fairly simple. I followed the instructions and headed to my local hardware store to buy the correct size of drill bit. After that, installation was a snap! My tires fit snugly into the CLUG and I have no worries about them coming loose and the bikes falling onto the floor (I mounted them vertically to save space). All in all, these are amazing! Check out the photos of what I was able to do!

This is a great product, without doubt. My only criticism is the tyre size range recommendation.We have tyres that are 2.35" so i bought the MTB XL as they start from 2.3", however, this doesn't sit snug and hold the bike wheel vertically. You can balance it precariously but the slightest nudge will knock the bike out resulting in a loud crash! (first hand experience). That said, if you put teh bike up and then angle the front wheel to one side it holds it better.We also bought some mtb size ones and the 2.362 fits really snug and secure so I would recommend going for a smaller size if you are right at the low end of the size range.We also have two bikes with 1.95" wheels which is at the low end of the mtb size range (starting at 1.75"), and these again need to be angled to feel secured. If I hadn't already fitted them all, I might try to exchange them for the hybrid size, but I figure we'll get bikes with bigger tyres in the future so going to make do.Just wanted to share my size findings in case they help anyone. All said and done, they are REALLY easy to fit and do a great job of holding the bikes. Especially mine which fits perfectly! ;o)

I saw these on youtube and thought they where ingenious... to be fair I still think that but I did know to be carful to check the size as there are ones for different tyres. This one is for upto 2.6 I believe and my tyres are 29 x 2.1. They barley fit. I mean a massive effort to click it in. Please don’t be put off by this as this is still a really cool good quility product but just be warned if you own a mtb or have a larger thick wheel you will struggle.

Got this a week or so ago. Easy to put up.I took note of a few of rhe comments that if the tyre deflates if tou don't use your bike for a while, so when I attached it to the wall I put a velcro strip behind it and made sure the screws went through that as well.I tested it by letting the tyre down whilst attached to the clug and it stayed firmly in place.I like the minimalist look of the clug on the wall as it is in my conservatory, which occasionally gets used when friends come round & if needed the bike can be relegated elsewhere for a while.Would buy again.

I’ve only given it 3 stars as I ride 2.85 tyres but in my opinion the appropriate sized clug is a tad to big. I therefore used an old ratchet strap around the whole thing just for extra security. My tire is properly inflated so it’s not because I’m riding low pressures either. Packaging is great, comes with all the necessary bits and the cardboard box with the drill points is a neat touch. I like it but in hindsight the size down would probably have been the better option. At £17 though it’s not something I’d buy another to replace it with. My tyre size was only just in to the largest size but it clearly was hence my purchase. The strap, although not as aesthetically pleasing, does the job so if you found yourself in the same sort of situation it’s not useless. It’s not until it’s on the wall either that you can see how the bike ‘pulls’ on the clug. By the time you’ve installed you’ve used the screws and plugs so sending back wouldn’t probably be an option.

The Clug is really easy to fit. It comes with a guide for screw holes in the wall so you can't get it wrong. It's really easy to clip in and creates a lot of space.Fast shipping too!
