Gypsum wall and bicycle? What can drywall handle?

[bryggarebob]

Hello.

Does anyone know how much weight a drywall can support?

My partner thinks that two bikes standing freely today in the apartment isn't quite optimal. Even though I find it hard to understand the issue, I want to be accommodating since the bikes are currently allowed to be stored in the apartment.

I've found the following wall mounts: https://www.bauhaus.se/cykelhallare-stabilit-galvaniserad-stal-100kg.html

But the question is, what can a drywall support? I'm planning to hang two bikes, one above the other, like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=bic...wKHQyGB2QQ9QEwC3oECAAQGg#imgrc=__pbj0yg-zwS6M:

One weighs about 8-9kg, the mountain bike around 14kg, it shouldn't be too much weight at each attachment point. The bike is hung by the pedal and rear wheel, see the link above.
Maybe someone here has experience?

I plan to install the mounts with drywall anchors. A total of four screws.

Should I just go ahead?

There will be quite a heavy load on those screws, I would probably make sure to find a stud to screw into, then there will be no problem at all.

Start by attaching a board/rule on the wall from floor to ceiling. Perhaps 28x95 mm.
You should be able to secure it well, or use several anchor screws into the wall.
First, screw the brackets in place with through screws and nuts on the board.
Naturally, use screws with countersunk heads, with the screw head facing the wall.

I was also thinking about that floor-to-ceiling board, but I don't think it will look so nice. Or rather, it would look nicer if that solution isn't necessary (even though I understand it would be more stable).
We'll see with the stud finder, if I'm lucky it might be possible to attach to one of those.

Or rather, it would look nicer if you don't need to have that solution (even though I understand it becomes more stable). We'll see with the stud finder, if I'm lucky, it might be possible to fasten it on one of those.

If it fits better, a glued wood board or shelf in a suitable color works fine, https://www.bauhaus.se/hyllplan-acacia-18x400x800-mm.html

Nice? And then you're going to hang up two muddy, dirty two-wheelers there?
You can paint the board the same color as the wall.

The tires will also get the wall dirty, right?

I had a similar solution in a previous apartment, mounted acrylic sheets to protect the wall. However, I didn't have any backstop for the tires, the friction was usually enough, although it probably would have worked better if they were roughened.

At my parents' place, I had my DH bike on the wall, and there I used picture ledges to place the wheels on, but it was a slightly heavier bike too.

Julas pedal hanger usually plus a cabinet handle from Biltema under the front wheel. However, not usually, but there's not much weight on the front wheel, the handle is just to prevent the bike from rotating.

Try to find standard or, as previously mentioned, place a board from floor to ceiling.
