Cycloc Solo - Wall Mount Bike Storage Rack – Vertical and Horizontal Cycle Storage - Blue

Product Information

In places like China or Hong Kong I’m having to learn a lot about the culture, about buying habits, and how British products are viewed. It would have been easier in Europe, but because of how bad the Brexit actually was, we’ve actually had to be quite reactive rather than being proactive,” he said. Its experience is not unique and highlights the continuing damage Brexit is causing small exporters who cannot easily absorb the new administrative burden as easily as big businesses.

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. 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. Cycloc’s products are still being sold direct to customers in the EU via an “import one-stop shop” in Ireland, an automated service to cover complex VAT compliance procedures. 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.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. 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 Solo, Hero and Super Hero are ideal if you have wall space but want to minimise how far your bike protrudes from the wall.

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.” 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. 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.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. 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. 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”.
