Monkey BarsWall Bike Rack 2.0 - Stores 3 Bikes - Heavy Duty Bike Wall Mount

Q: If I want to get a bike in the middle, do I have to remove the other bikes to the left or right of it before accessing?

No, you can remove a bike from the middle without removing the other bikes.

Q: Can you tell me what height off the floor is best for a standard-sized bike? Do the hooks bind the spokes and damange them?

The bike's top wheel extends a couple of inches above the bar, so the height really depends on how long your bike is and if you want some space below the bikes. I hung it at about 7', so I have some space below. As to the spokes, I didn't notice any damage on the spokes so far, but the rubber coating on a couple hooks has been torn, so I had create a DIY padding.

Q: Would it be possible to put screws into the hooks so that they were permantly mounted and fixed in place on the bar?

Yes, in fact we found it was the only way we could easily take off and mount the bikes, as otherwise the hooks tend to slide along the rack

Q: Does it work for road bikes as well?

This works excellent . Make sure and mount it to studs in your wall.I have had one for a year now and have no issues at all. It keeps all our bikes neatly hanging in the garage.
