Once again we’ve been working with the guys at Cycloc, so I’m presuming if you’ve read our previous review on their Hobo workstand that you’ll know who they are. If not, here’s a brief introduction. Cycloc are a London based cycle storage company who design and manufacture exclusively in the UK and they have a dedicated team around them that have been providing the world with innovative cycle storage solutions since 2006. This time they’ve sent us their Hero and Loop Combo for test and review. Solo also allows you the flexibility of hanging your bike vertically. Ideal if you do not have much wall length.

The government did not comment on Cycloc’s experience. A spokesperson said the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) it signed in December 2020 was “the world’s largest zero-tariff and zero-quota deal” and it had established the Export Support Services “so businesses can make the most of the TCA”. Cycloc wall storage products were not designed for external use. Whilst they are manufactured from UV resistant Polypropylene, we would advise against installing them in situations where they will be exposed to strong direct sunlight and/or extreme cold!If you are not confident installing your product we recommend you find a competent tradesperson to install your Cycloc product for you. As the bike sits at an angle on Hero / Super Hero then you can win a bit of extra space by installing the unit higher up the wall. Perfect in areas like narrow hallways! You can even tier units to allow you to store one bike above another. Anna Kay and Jente Michels emerged victorious after battling four seasons in one day at Round 2 of the National Trophy Series in Skipton. If you have minimal wall space but have some room depth to play with then Endo could be for you. Endo also allows you to create dense installations of multiple bikes.

To make the most efficient use of wall space, alternate hanging your bikes by their front and then rear wheels – ‘nose to tail’ – so that the bars of one bike hang next to the saddle of its neighbour. If your bike has fat tyres or deep wheel rims, then use the table below to select a Cycloc product that will work for you. Lang also tells of the wider impact Brexit has had, diverting the company’s energies from growing its product range. “We have about half a dozen products in the pipeline that are in a very advanced stage but we’ve not been able to commit the capital to bring those to the market yet because of the other Brexit costs and problems we’ve been confronted with,” he said.

Secondly, storing your bike outside could make it easier to spot and therefore more tempting for thieves to steal. However, it may be the case that you really have little choice, and there are some things you can do to mitigate the negatives. For a lot of people this might be out of the question, but we’re not talking about propping it up in the hallway. Instead, there is an exciting range of almost avant-garde wall-mounted bike storage options available that can turn your bike effectively into a work of art. You bike will be safe, dry, warm and pretty to look at – who could possibly object? Insurance policies

The Hero is suitable for flat or clipless pedals, it can store your bike horizontally in both right or left orientations, is ideal for men’s, women’s, tandems and kids bikes and is available in 7 colours. It’s also perfect for work or home as the wheel rests stop any dirt from marking the walls, plus it means you can stare at your bike all day… and let’s face it, what mountain biker doesn’t love doing that? Yep, all of us. Keeping your bike steady and safe against your wall, either balanced on your floor or hung high and out of the way, the impressive Cycloc mount uses a hook and pad system to let your bike take pride of place in your garage, apartment or living room. Attaching to your wall with a four-point fixing system, this sturdy two-piece holder is built from a glass-reinforced polypropylene, equipped with rubber inserts which protect the paintwork of both your bike and your support.If you short on storage space, Cycloc wall mounted storage solutions allow you to store your bike inside. The convenient cycle storage is great for keeping bikes horizontally or vertically. It also proves to hold the bike quite stable. I have a two year old son and when he’s pottering about in the garage with me I cringe at the thought of my bike falling out and landing on him. Now, looking at the close up photo above, you can clearly see how much of my Shimano clipless pedal is inside the mount which is less than half the length of the pedal. I’m not a massive bloke but I’ve hung on the centre point of my bike and tried to literally pull it directly straight off the wall (rather than lifting it up) and it doesn’t budge. Even without the wheels resting on their respective platforms it does move a little bit but is still safe and sound up there. The Loop One of the things that is quite disappointing about this whole process is that from the outset, we made an active decision to manufacture in the UK. We’ve remained faithful to that and it feels as though the UK government hasn’t necessarily helped us.” All products except Solo come with fixings included. All supplied fixings are suitable for installation into masonry but the supplied fixings are NOT suitable for plasterboard/drywall without using an appropriate wall plug/anchor. We do have fixing kits available for plasterboard walls, please refer to our listing for details. Alternatively suitable fixings can be obtained from a good hardware store. Moving on to the Loop. There isn’t a massive amount to say about this but that’s not a bad thing! The Loop is a brilliantly compact yet spacious helmet and accessory storage system. As with the Hero, it bolts to the wall securely and has a Cycloc marked cover plate to hide the fixings and finish the product off neatly. It has one main central compartment for things like gloves, lights or action cameras, a hole in the top to stand things like pumps in and a very well designed lip on the edge so that when your helmet is hanging off it it won’t slip forwards and fall off. It is made from the same hard wearing plastic as the Hero and has the same easy cleaning properties too. Again, a handy product at a great price when bought separately.
