The Oahu bike parking rack brings our exclusive bike No Scratch bike protecting bumper to this fluid, circular design. It joins our popular Tofino and Westport No Scratch® bike parking racks in offering a variety of shapes and sizes to meet your bike parking needs.
The Oahu offers high space efficiency for two bikes in sidewalk settings, campuses, city parks, or anywhere space is limited. The Oahu provides the highest security allowing both the wheel and the frame to be secured using a variety of lock types including U-locks. Rectangular tubing offers durability and is resistant to cutting. The Oahu is available in stainless or mild steel and comes in a variety of mounting and coating options.
For use in circulation paths as defined by ADA 2010 Section 307.3, the Oahu must be specified with a signplate. Please contact us for details.
Finishes
Sportworks bike parking products are available in a wide variety of finishes and materials. Please contact us for specific details regarding minimum lot size charges on finishes.
TGIC Powder Coat
This polyester-based finish is well suited for bike racks made from mild steel, and is available in a wide variety of colors. Powder coating serves as a protective barrier to the various environment elements that cause corrosion. To further increase corrosion resistance, Sportworks recommends an additional zinc plated undercoat be applied prior to the powder coating process. Zinc acts as a sacrificial anode to protect the base metal from corrosion should the powder coat become chipped.
PPA-571 Thermoplastic Powder Coat
This thermoplastic finish is also well suited for mild steel racks, and Plascoat’s special formulation (PPA-571) produces a more flexible and robust coating. When compared to polyester-based powder coatings, PPA-571 thermoplastic powder coatings are tougher, more resistant to chips, and naturally graffiti resistant. This finish is also available in a wide variety of colors.
Galvanized
If color is not a requirement, this hot dip galvanized finish is a good choice for durability, low cost and corrosion protection on mild steel racks. While a galvanized finish will appear rough when compared to zinc plated and powder coated finishes, galvanizing provides the highest degree of corrosion resistance of all three. Additionally, galvanizing can also be used as an under coating treatment to TGIC and PPA powder coats. All Sportworks galvanized bike racks are finished to ASTM A123.
Bead Blast
Unlike powder coating and galvanizing, this finish removes material during the application process, and is ideal for stainless steel racks. Small glass particles (media) traveling at high velocities impact the metal removing the outer surface, and resulting in a mildly-textured or matted finish. Similar to galvanizing, there are no color options available for this type of finish. Sportworks stainless steel bike racks represent the highest level of corrosion protection available.
Materials
Mild Steel
The primary alloying element of mild steel is carbon. This enables bending and forming, while maintaining strong mechanical properties. A finish is required for outdoor applications (galvanizing, plating, powder coating, thermoplastics, or painting) as unfinished mild steel will rust and corrode when exposed to air and moisture.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as mild steel because it contains more chromium and nickel. A passive film of oxides prevents surface corrosion and blocks corrosion from spreading into the internal structure of the metal. Stainless steel can still corrode and discolor in certain environments, however the strength and appearance can withstand exposure in most outdoor locations.
Powder Coat Colors
Sportworks offers the following standard color palette for our bicycle racks. All standard colors are available in both a polyester and a thermoplastic powder coat and are typically available within our standard lead time. All polyester powder coat colors include an epoxy primer undercoat. Zinc plating is also available as an alternate undercoat option.
Custom Colors
Custom colors are available, and subject to minimum orders and lot charges. Custom colors matching RAL or Pantone, as well as anti-graffiti powder coat colors are available and may involve extended lead times and/or lot changes. Plascoat thermoplastic powder coat provides the following benefits: excellent corrosion, fade, chip, abrasion and graffiti resistance. For more information regarding custom colors contact our sales team.
Mounting Options
Complete installation instructions for all Sportworks bike parking products are available as a PDF on this page or by visiting the downloads section of the website.
Surface Mount
Surface mount uses permanent or removable anchors to secure the bicycle rack mounting flange to concrete.
Mounting In Ground Mount
Embedding the bicycle rack into concrete represents the most secure mount for a bicycle rack. An additional 10” of length is included on the bicycle rack post(s) for casting in concrete.
Fastener Options
Concrete Wedge Anchor
Concrete Wedge Anchors, 3/8” Diameter x 3.75” Length, Stainless Steel, with 3/8-16 Hex Nut
Asphalt Anchor
Asphalt Anchor, 12” Length, Epoxy in Ground, Includes Epoxy, Hex Head Bolt 3/8”-16 x 2.5” Length and Washer
Tamper Resistant Anchors
Tamper resistant anchors are recommended for surface mounted racks. When the substrate is concrete, we recommend stainless steel wedge anchors with stainless steel breakaway nuts, also known as shear nuts. These nuts make it much more difficult for someone to tamper with or remove an installed bicycle rack.
Breakaway Nut Pre Installation
The breakaway nut consists of a hex nut portion at the top and a smooth conical sleeve located just below. Install the wedge anchor using standard tools and then tighten the breakaway nut.
Breakaway Nut Installed
The hex portion of the nut will shear off when the design shear torque is exceeded. Once the hex nut shears off, only the smooth conical sleeve will remain. The tamper resistant anchor is now installed. The cone is shaped so standard tools will not be able to grip and remove the nut.
