Excellent product, but go down a size if you are at the low end of the range
This is a great product, without doubt. My only criticism is the tyre size range recommendation.We have tyres that are 2.35" so i bought the MTB XL as they start from 2.3", however, this doesn't sit snug and hold the bike wheel vertically. You can balance it precariously but the slightest nudge will knock the bike out resulting in a loud crash! (first hand experience). That said, if you put teh bike up and then angle the front wheel to one side it holds it better.We also bought some mtb size ones and the 2.362 fits really snug and secure so I would recommend going for a smaller size if you are right at the low end of the size range.We also have two bikes with 1.95" wheels which is at the low end of the mtb size range (starting at 1.75"), and these again need to be angled to feel secured. If I hadn't already fitted them all, I might try to exchange them for the hybrid size, but I figure we'll get bikes with bigger tyres in the future so going to make do.Just wanted to share my size findings in case they help anyone. All said and done, they are REALLY easy to fit and do a great job of holding the bikes. Especially mine which fits perfectly! ;o)

Amazing idea. Just too small for mtb despite buying the right size
I saw these on youtube and thought they where ingenious... to be fair I still think that but I did know to be carful to check the size as there are ones for different tyres. This one is for upto 2.6 I believe and my tyres are 29 x 2.1. They barley fit. I mean a massive effort to click it in. Please don’t be put off by this as this is still a really cool good quility product but just be warned if you own a mtb or have a larger thick wheel you will struggle.

A bit loose for me unfortunately....
I’ve only given it 3 stars as I ride 2.85 tyres but in my opinion the appropriate sized clug is a tad to big. I therefore used an old ratchet strap around the whole thing just for extra security. My tire is properly inflated so it’s not because I’m riding low pressures either. Packaging is great, comes with all the necessary bits and the cardboard box with the drill points is a neat touch. I like it but in hindsight the size down would probably have been the better option. At £17 though it’s not something I’d buy another to replace it with. My tyre size was only just in to the largest size but it clearly was hence my purchase. The strap, although not as aesthetically pleasing, does the job so if you found yourself in the same sort of situation it’s not useless. It’s not until it’s on the wall either that you can see how the bike ‘pulls’ on the clug. By the time you’ve installed you’ve used the screws and plugs so sending back wouldn’t probably be an option.

Love it.
Got this a week or so ago. Easy to put up.I took note of a few of rhe comments that if the tyre deflates if tou don't use your bike for a while, so when I attached it to the wall I put a velcro strip behind it and made sure the screws went through that as well.I tested it by letting the tyre down whilst attached to the clug and it stayed firmly in place.I like the minimalist look of the clug on the wall as it is in my conservatory, which occasionally gets used when friends come round & if needed the bike can be relegated elsewhere for a while.Would buy again.

Don't buy for MTB
Bought XL for my MTB with 2.4" tyres. There is nothing positive I can say about it.1. Too small clamp jaw opening. 2.4" tyre is not fitting in easy, need to push really hard for it to clamp in, leaving scratches on my bike tyres by doing so. Then once it's clamped in, it's too loose to secure the bike.2. Wall fitting is poorly designed. The two mounting screw holes are so close to each other, I mounted this on concrete wall with the provided plug and screw, the plug is too large for the screw that the screw can be pull out directly (not the plug, just the screw pulling out from the plug) when dismounting the bike as the clamp is too tight, and the plug is too big. Even after I used my own plug to screw it tightly to the wall, slight tilt from my bike (13kg bike is not a heavy MTB) is twisting the unit due to the mounting hole being too close and they are banana shaped to allow drill hole inaccuracy, instead they just allow the unit to rotate. And if you are not watching it, your bike can fall and damage your rim and tyres.Will never use anything like this again ever for MTB.

Simple, effective amazing design - does the job perfectly
I bought an XL, a PLUS and a STANDARD one for both mine and my wife's mountain bikes. I had wanted one of these for a while but they never did the plus size fitting that my tyres are - until now. The STANDARD one fits my wife's bike perfectly (2.25" tyre). I ordered the XL and the PLUS size for my 2.8" tyres as Hornit recommend a 'snug fit' on their descriptions stating a 2.8" can be a 2.7" in reality on the tyres.When they arrived, I used the tyre graphic guide on the box (great design packaging by the way) and my 2.8" tyre fitted exactly in the graphic of a 2.7" size. So bear this in mind when buying or fitting!! Hornits recommendations on this were spot on! They do state this on their write up and on their website. I decided to contact them anyway, as I wasn't sure whether to fit the XL or the PLUS size based on the graphic tyre guide.I spoke to Bea Preston Ellis from the company who was fantastic and answered my question of whether I should use the PLUS size CLUG (2.8" - 3.2") or the XL CLUG up to 2.7". Bea recommended the XL size, stating it is better to have a more snug fit.. I fitted it that day and Bea was spot on! My 2.8" fits into the XL size perfectly.Amazing product, simple and effective design. Looks really stylish, easy to install, really only takes 5 minutes per bike. Thank you Hornit for this design and thank you Bea for your advice. I totally recommend this product as a simple and effective way of storing your bikes in your garage or home.
