Wall hooks seem simple until you try hanging a fat bike and watch it crash to the floor. The Park Tool 470XX addresses this with an extra-large design specifically built for oversized tubing—fat bikes, e-bikes, and frames with tubes that laugh at standard hooks. The vinyl coating protects your finish from scratches while the steel construction handles the weight of bikes that can easily exceed 50 pounds.

Machine thread mounting means you're bolting into something solid rather than relying on a wood screw's grip. The 470XX uses 3/8-16 threads that work with standard hardware store fasteners, letting you secure into metal studs, threaded inserts, or wherever you need serious holding power. For concrete or masonry walls, pair it with appropriate anchors rated for the load. For wood studs, Park Tool makes the 470X with wood threads instead—same hook, different mounting hardware.

The hook geometry matters more than you'd think. The 470XX positions the contact point to cradle tubes up to 2.75 inches in diameter without the bike wanting to slide off or twist.
