Got this pole to maximize my bicycle storage in my garage.  I read mixed reviews but for the price, decided to try it anyway.  The garage ceiling is 9' so this one should be fine, but it's a bit wobbly.  Plus, all the reviews stating that the upper, smaller diameter shaft is too small for the clamp are correct.  I have a women's small mountain bike on the bottom and a women's small road bike on the top.  So that's definitely not exceeding the weight limit but the top clamp violently slid down with my bike in the cradle after only 2-3 minutes mounted.  I had to wrap a small-gage line around the smaller diameter shaft for the upper clamp to sit on.  Plus the whole system seems to rotate over time, which makes me worry that I might catch one of the wheels sticking out when I'm backing in the garage in my truck.  I would not buy this product again, but I'm gonna give it a try.  Might work for a low-traffic 7' ceiling but not for a high-traffic garage area with a high ceiling.
