The Claw Advanced Bike Storage System device's intuitive push-lock design takes the struggle out of storing your bike. Simply push upward once to activate its plunger-like mechanism, and two rubber-encased aluminum arms will thread through your rim and cradle the wheel securely. When it's time for your next ride, simply push up again to unlock the mechanism and release your bicycle. In a matter of seconds you're ready to hit the road.
The heavy-duty aluminum arms are encased with "soft touch" thermoplastic rubber edges that give your rim a soft, but secure, surface to rest on. You can mount one Claw Advanced Bike Storage System device on your ceiling and hang a bike perpendicular to the floor from a single tire, or you can use two of them to hang a bike from both tires, depending on your storage needs.
When closed, the Claw Advanced Bike Storage System device measures a compact 6 x 9.75 x 3.75 inches (WxHxD), giving you optimum storage flexibility.

Customer Review: A Perfect Meld of Form and Function
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Gladiator GarageWorks Claw is an ingenious contraption that will, without question, help you hang up or take down a bike with much more ease than a plain ol' J hook. Here's how it works better than a J hook:
(Note: The picture in the product page shows its claws in the closed position, which is the position the device is in when a bike is hung from it.)
To hang up a bike (assume the claws are open):
Bring the bike wheel straight up towards the "button" (the component directly above the claws) to depress it. This will trigger the mechanism for closing and securing the claws around the rim of the wheel. Simply let your bike back down and you're done. The rim comes in contact only with the rubberized part of the claws so it is protected from damage.
To take down a bike:
Bring the bike wheel straight up towards the "button" to depress it. This will trigger the mechanism for bringing the claws wide open. Now, you're free to let your bike down. The claws will stay open, ready for the next time you hang the bike up.
You see, all the movements that are necessary to either hang up or take down a bike is up, then down - simple as that. There's even no need to "aim" the wheel so the claw clasps between the spokes. There's a gap between the claws to allow for a spoke being sandwiched between the claws.
Aesthetically, the Gladiator Claw looks every bit as cool as it does in the picture on the product page. The rubber on the claws and button are more of a bright orange. The aluminum has a shiny, not brushed, finish. With its orange color and relatively large size (especially when the claws are open), it will look conspicuous in any room. The Gladiator Claw looks like a sturdy and sophisticated piece of equipment and will make a handsome addition to a garage or any other room.
The only downside I can come up with is the price. If you can afford to get it, by all means get it - I'm sure you'll be very pleased with it.
