The GearMate Helmet Kit includes the innovative Helmet Hook, designed to mount seamlessly onto the GearMate Bracket for a clean, organised setup that suits any helmet — from full-face to commuter styles. Paired with a premium microfibre cloth, it keeps your helmet safe from scratches, secure when not in use, and spotless between rides — ensuring it’s always ready for your next adventure.
SteadyHook: 1 x Helmet Hook
SteadyBracket: 1 x Large Bracket
1 x Microfibre Cloth
The GearMate Helmet Kit installs in seconds — simply attach the large bracket to your GearMate SteadySpine and slide the Helmet Hook into place. It locks firmly for a secure hold and works in any vertical orientation, keeping your helmet protected and your space perfectly organised.
Important: The SteadySpine comes included with ProFlex Range Racks, however, Classic Rack users require the GearMate SteadySpine which is sold separately.
No, you can load and unload the bike at any angle provided that the central pivot bar nuts are set to the factory setting of 5nM.
No, it's not possible to lock the rack solid in one position. You can tighten the nuts sufficiently that the rack will be very hard to pivot which will effectively hold it in the one position. To do this you need to remove the 2 plastic mounting bracket covers (end caps) and tightening the 2 nuts that attach the central pivot bar to the mounting brackets. We recommend you check your fixings to your wall carefully and make sure they are very secure if you do this as any pressure sideways will put extreme pressure on the mounting brackets fixings.
It really depends on the width of your handlebars and the pedals. It will fold until the handlebars touch the wall but not quite 90 degrees or flat to the wall. For a normal road bike bar, we would allow about 400mm or around 16 inches, and for a MTB with wider bars probably around 1m or 39 inches (give or take).
The Fender Racks will suit exactly the same bikes as the Classic Rack except the Fender rack will also work with bikes that have fenders or mudguards, whereas the Classic is only suitable for bikes without fenders and mudguards. The Fender rack will also only accommodate for bikes up to 25kg/55lbs.
One of the main features of our design is the fact that it is the most suitable rack for carbon wheels. There is less pressure on the bike than riding it and it is certainly better than hooks. The wheel is cradled between the two V-shaped cradling points created when the arms are folded down and the tire cushions the wheel and bike. There should be absolutely no need to do any maintenance on your rims or wheels if you use a Steadyrack.
Steadyracks are actually the perfect solution for storing carbon frame bikes and wheelsets! This is because our racks cradle the whole front wheel tire, meaning there is no direct contact with the wheelset or bike frame. Additionally, there is less risk of damage from and to surrounding bikes as the racks are made to pivot and are hung by rolling the bike into the cradle instead of lifting the bike onto a hook.
Yes! This is a common concern for many bike owners with these types of brakes and suspension. When your bike is hung up vertically, the fluid in your forks will run towards the seals and keep them lubricated. This will prolong their use, so it's actually good for your bike and forks to hang it vertically on our bike racks. If you have hydraulic brakes on your bike the fluid will run down when the bike is hung, so we advise pumping the brakes a few times when you take the bike off the rack if it's been there for a while. The shocks shouldn't leak when the bike is hung up, however if they do it's a good indication that the seals may need replacing. Read our blog post for more information about storing bikes with hydraulic brakes in Steadyracks.
