has anyone tried using the stolmen rack with only one centered hook to support the bike by the head tube or the front wheel?
Just built a stolmen rack without any cutting/drilling aluminium tubing. Just bought the double hook bracket instead of the single, and hung a hook from each, works a treat. Total cost was £15 for the post, £4 for 2 hooks and £6 for the brackets, so £25. Got 8 brackets in the pack though, but only needed to mount one bike, so obviously can scale appropriately. (I was only mounting one bike, but could have mounted 2 for £4 more, the cost of two hooks) I bent the hooks outward slightly to give a little more clearance from the bracket when putting the bike in and out, but it fit in without this. Really really happy with it! Lined the hooks with leftover scraps of bar tape. Can also confirm that stolmen pole definitely doesn't need any screwing, can take my considerable weight hanging off of it using just the expander bolt.
