  • Can Swagman X Mount Bike Carrier Storage Rack # S80940 Mount Upside Down
  • My contact at Swagman advises that their wall mount X Mount Bike Carrier Storage Rack, part # S80940, can be installed upside down if this provides better clearance for your bike rack. There will be no loss of the 100-lb weight capacity in the rack itself by inverting it provided that the installation hardware secures it to a wall surface that can handle that load.

This could also be installed in the wall along the floor point by rotating the T so it points upwards instead, though this would make the ball mount storage unuseable.
