Does Huffy Girls Bike 12-Inch Princess really work?
tough installation. this product definitly freed up space in our garage. Luckily I read previous reviews and went out and bought better screws which was an additonal $20 for good ones. We also mounted these on 2×4’s which I think helped alot as our garage ceiling Huffy Girls Princess 12-Inch Bike so high and my husband is not to good with heights. I think it is also a plus to get an extra set of hands to help. The rope did fray as previous reviewers stated but all in all the bikes are up and staying. If you have a really nice car you may worry about these being suspended over head but knock on wood so far so good.
Great value for the price. The bike lift was easy to install and seems pretty sturdy. One problem is all the rope you have to store when the bike is lifted. The instructions say not to cut it, but the included 2 prong hook is barely big enough to hold all the rope.
The included screws are cheap, but I was careful enough that I was able to screw them in without stripping them too much.
It Works – but could be better. Put this in my high ceiling garage. it works… I had to attach a board across my beams to accomodate this lift. Plus my ceiling is rather steep angle. I was going to try to compensate for angle but didn’t – too much work. Instructions are weak… not terrible, but I had trouble understanding a few things and kept re-reading – was not as clear as could be on how to thread the nylon string through the pulleys… I also wish it had adjustable mounts to accomodate angled ceilings better. It would be nice, too, if bracket mounts were made to screw into 2×4 ceiling joists.
If you have a solid ceiling, especially a flat ceiling, these will be easy to install, if you have a high open ceiling, especially with steep angle, it will require more work and improvising… but once installed, keeps my bike up out of the way.
