FS: 2 x Cycloc Solo Wall-Mounted bike storage

wowy

2 unused Cycloc Solos. Selling as I forgot walls were internally insulated when ordering so I can't get a solid wall to hang them on.

Based in Mount Merrion, but could meet somewhere about South Dublin.

€50 each or €90 for the pair.

Offer 60 for the pair.

Do you mean partitioned stud walls? If so, just find the studs and use drywall screws!!

get something like these in Woodies - great things, and come in different sizes/weight bearing loads, so definitely would suit your needs

Look up drywall anchor screws. I have four bikes hanging in the garage using them on pretty thin drywall. No probs yet.

That's too low for both of them.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone else, but I've looked at all options. Unfortunately Molly bolts or drywall screws won't really work - there's 12.5mm plasterboard blobbed directly onto 65mm insulation which is mushroom fixed onto a cavity block wall. So there's no studs to fix to, and because there's no void behind the plasterboard the molly fixings etc won't work (I've tried them before into insulation and they can't expand property because of the insulation so just grind out a hole in the insulation and end up not getting a proper grounding off the plasterboard). Finally, it's too deep back to the original block wall to use a frame fixer (which wouldn't really work anyway as the blocks are cavity block, so not even deep enough themselves to get a good grounding). It's basically the worst wall to hang anything heavy from! So, rather than to solve my dilemma, I've just bypassed it by ordering a free-standing bike rack instead.

ae they what i'd (possibly mistakenly) refer to as express anchors? basically tubes which are not fully closed, but cinch closed as you hammer them home?

I'd go to 70 and collect, but that's me done then. They're nice looking racks but are fiddly to fit, and are way overpriced new, especially considering they don't even provide the fixings.

Nah, still not enough.

No bother.

Yeh, a couple of suitable anchor bolts will have them up no problem... Cycloc is incredibly stable once fitted... even with the extension.

to continue the DIY thread

these will do the job perfectly (length depending on depth of insulation board).

i've mounted my tv bracket on a wall with 100mm insulation board to hollow block at the back of the insulation board. you basically drill a hole very slightly smaller than the screw and use an impact driver to fix them. a standard battery operated screwdriver (even 18v) won't do the job by itself. just need to be careful as it tightens that you don't crack your plaster although that can thankfully be fixed if not too bad by a fresh lick of paint!

Cheers lads, I've offloaded one of them already and have picked up a free-standing bike rack instead so won't be putting anymore holes in my wall.

Both sold now.
