Racor Ceiling Mounted Bike Lift #PBH-1R Customer Review: Great idea –> tips for installation needed though:
The pulley system works very nicely at raising and lowering my bicycle, but I have a few suggestions
for those installing it:

1) The screws that come with this product are of inferior grade metal. Drill pilot holes!! The heads
strip easily.

2) The anti-fall safety mechanism (Supposed to work like a mini-blind) did not work due to the rope
being too thick. The rope had sufficient friction through its guides to trigger the anti-fall. Thus you
could raise the bike, but it wouldn’t come down. It thought the bike was falling 100% of the time.
I had to reroute the rope outside of the anti-fall mechanism (defeating it). No big deal for an adult
user, but a child user might get hurt if the anti-fall mechanism is defeated.

3) Once installed, hook the bike to the hooks and climb a ladder to ceiling. Tension the rope and
mark where the rope meets the mechanism with a piece of masking tape. Climb down, unhook the
bike and pull the rope down. Tie a hefty knot at the masking tape. This way the rope won’t get
away from you when you’re lowering the bike. It also keeps the kids from pulling on the hooks
and unraveling the whole thing.
