Fat tires (over 2.4 inches wide), disc brakes, and fenders can make it impossible to use some bike storage gear. Fat tires are wider than normal. Disc brakes stick out to the sides. Fenders sit over and to the side a bit of the tire. I found two bike organizers that easily handle any of these three types of bicycles.
The SteadyRack Fat Tire and the SteadyRack Fender bike racks mount on the wall and are specially designed to store fat tire and fender bicycles, respectively. You can use either mount for a bike with disc brakes.
Takeaways
- The SteadyRack Fat Tire Wall Mount is an excellent choice for mounting fat tire bikes on the wall. Check the price on Amazon.
- The SteadyRack Fender Tire Wall Mount is an excellent choice for mounting fender bikes on the wall. Check the price on Amazon.
Best Fat Tire Wall Mount
The SteadyRack Fat Tire holds one fat tire bike on the wall. It pivots the bike out of the way, so it's not sticking into the room. You don't need to lift the bike up to use the rack. Pivot the bike on its back wheel, then push the front wheel into the rack.
This rack accepts tires up to 2.8 inches but does not accept fenders. The Fat Tire rack is popular because it's easy to use, pushes bikes out of the way (with a 160 deg. pivot angle), and has the strongest hardware you can get in a wall mount.
- Stronger, more durable hardware
- Easy to use (no lifting required, just pivot the bike on the back tire and push)
- 160-degree pivot pushes the bike against the wall, so it's not sticking into the room
- Suitable for FAT TIRED not fenders
- Accepts 2.8 to 5-inch tire width, and 20-29 inch wheel diameter

Best Fender Bike Wall Mount
The SteadyRack Fender rack holds one bike on the wall. It is the same engineering and design as the Fat Tire wall mount, but is outfitted for fenders. Maximum tire width is 2.4 in.
- Stronger, more durable hardware
- Easy to use (no lifting required, just pivot the bike on the back tire and push)
- 160-degree pivot pushes the bike against the wall, so it's not sticking into the room
- For FENDER and MUDGUARD bikes (cradles only the tire, not the fender)
- Accepts up to 2.4 in. wide tires, 20-29 in. diameter
