 Works great, need tall garage ceilingAug 31, 2010
Need tall ceilings to hang the bike up high enough. Works great, except I have to duck when I cross my garage. Still I have a lot of extra space now that the bikes are up and out of the way. Just bought a third bike hoist. Now I need to find a spot to install it where I won't hit my head.
Not sure why all the bad reviewsAug 31, 2010
I purchased this item and initially I was skeptical because of all of the poor reviews. But I figured I would give it a try as it was so cheap. When I was prepared for the worst, but what I received was a good product that installed easily. The installation hardware was not the best, but it was good enough. We are holding up a single bike here, so we don't need grade 8 airplane quality bolts. The instructions were straight forward and with in about 15 minutes I had my 10 year old trek bike hanging on the ceiling. As others have mentioned the brackets that secure the bike to the hoist are not what is pictured in this page. However, what was included worked just fine and it would take a major earthquake or structural damage to my house for the bike to fall. If I were to ever become concerned with the mounting brackets, the fix would be as simple as a piece of cord wrapped around the seat and handle bars.
With this mount I was able to reclaim that space in my garage, and because of that, this product was well worth the little money I paid for it.
 Great Concept, Poor ExecutionAug 31, 2010
Great idea but unfortunately did not work. Lifted the bike ok but the clamps that attached to the seat and handle bars could easily slip off. Based on that I was not prepared to trust my $2500 road bike and nearby car to it. I stuck with good old stable ceiling hooks and hang my bikes upside down. On the positive note, return was excepted no problem for a full refund by DTX International Inc.
Less Here than Meets the EyeAug 30, 2010
You are not going to mount your bicycles with what comes in the package. The manufacturer neglects to tell you that the lifting device is not designed to be mounted on the ceiling and the picture on the web is deceptive. It is designed to be mounted on a 2X4 that is then attached to the ceiling. The 2X4 is not in the box, the bolts to attach the 2X4 to the ceiling are not in the box.
If you decide to forego buying the wood and simply attach the pulleys to the joists in the ceiling you are still going to have to go to the hardware store because the screws included in the box are way too short to reach the joists through the sheetrock on the ceiling and the heads are too small to securely hold the pulley platform.
So keep in mind that regardless of how you finally decide to mount your bicycles, you are not going to do it without a trip to the hardware store.
After I got the longer screws (I had no desire to go to the extra steps with the 2X4s) the device mounts easily and the bicycle rises majestically to the ceiling. The front hook fits securely on the handlebars, but the rear hook can have problems with some of the seats that split in the rear.

This product is good for what it does. I have put up four(4) of this item at verious times and I like how they free up the garage floor space.
