Why it Works with Awkward Bikes
The mount holds the bicycle up to 12 inches away from the wall, which gives room to the fender, fat tire and disc brakes.
The hooks extend 6.5 inches from the wall, and are angled at 90 deg., which gives a lot of room for fat tires and fenders. The wheel extends from the wall into the room, putting disc brakes in the open air.
