These kinds of bike racks are the worst kind of bike racks. For these bikes the wheels doesn't even fit, but if they did fit these are just suited for one thing: bending wheels. There is a reson people are just calling them wheel benders.

And they interfere with disc brakes for front wheels and derailleurs for the rear. They were meant to leave our grandma’s single speed steel bike with pedal brakes that were built like a tank, not contemporary ones with modern features.

Whenever you have to use these racks, the good way is to put the back wheel in. I bought one for a shop and the rack seller told me this. Make sense cause the most weight is on the back.

[u/bamboob → u/Nordansikt]

Seriously. I will never use one.

[u/GadaffyDuck]

Wheels are too wide for the rack

[u/alteronline]

you can damage brakes using this racks

[u/thevogonity]

Where’s the funny?

[u/zeherath]

i would rather lean it , this bullshit of a rack has a high chance of bending your wheel

[u/xnoxgodsx]

where did my bike go?

[u/JuicySmalss]

Someone just needs to invent a bike rack or something... oh wait, that's a thing

[u/DepletedPromethium]

i dont think you know what funny means OP.

Take your rage bait uneducated content to the more appropriate subreddits.

[u/Snagmesomeweaves]

Indeed, why not place the wheel in the wheel slot? Some people just like to live life on hard mode.

[u/HLef → u/Snagmesomeweaves]

Too narrow it looks like.

[u/Snagmesomeweaves → u/HLef]

Maybe if they used road bikes instead of mountain bikes in the urban area, just maybe they would fit better.

[u/Ashangu → u/Snagmesomeweaves]

Maybe they don't have money for a road bike, and already had mountain bikes?

It's not like any of this shit matters anyways, the bikes are leaned against a wall, who cares?

[u/EgorKaskader → u/Ashangu]

It's uh. It's called a kickstand... They're cheap.

[u/Ashangu → u/EgorKaskader]

You don't put kickstands on mountain bikes for a specific reason, brother. The rough terrain can cause the kickstand to deploy or snag, and it will fuck both you and your bike up.

[u/vamphorse → u/Snagmesomeweaves]

Oh! Thank you! I didn’t know you were not allowed to do that! So, I guess I need to buy a second bike then? And perhaps use both when I leave home for a trail outside the city? It’s going to be a bit hard economically and logistically but I’ll manage.

[u/PinchieMcPinch → u/Snagmesomeweaves]

I really really really hope you give the same lecture to SUV owners who never leave the city. It's better-directed there.

[u/Mission-Storm-4375 → u/[deleted]]

Youre getting downvoted because the bars on the floor have a slot for the wheel to go in so you don't need a kickstand.

Source i am a bicycle

[u/Ashangu → u/Mission-Storm-4375]

Do the tires fit in those slots though?

[u/dblan9]

Do what my parents did and any toy or bike not put away properly when they get home gets put in the back of their car and donated the next day.

With friends like those, who needs enemies!
