While the Curt Wall Mount for 2" Hitch Accessories # C97DR is rated for 350 lbs, I don't see loading bikes on the bike rack for storage as a great idea since the bikes will be sitting further out and placing more stress on the wall mount - my contact at Curt agreed with me on this when I reached out to him.

For your application I recommend using the Curt Wall Mount # C97DR for your bike rack and then the Feedback Sports Velo Hinge Bike Storage Rack # 301-16724 for any bikes. The Velo Hinge Rack can hold up to 50 lb bikes and can swing to the side so your bikes don't take up as much space.

I personally use the Velo Hinge Bike Storage Rack and the only complaint I really have about it is that the bikes can't get to a full 90 degree angle as their pedals hit the wall. I have heard though that if you use a 2x4 as a spacer you'll be able to swing the bike out at a further angle for more clearance.

Attached are some review videos for you to check out!
