I was wondering if anyone could help. I’m looking to put up a bicycle hook onto a plasterboard wall in my kitchen. The total weight of the device is 2 kg and the bike 7kg. The instructions state that if putting up onto hollow wall ideally you need to ensure 1 of the 3 fixing goes into a wooden stud with a suitable wood screw. However the plasterboard specific hollow wall anchors I have purchased for the job specify a 50kg limit which the total load is well below.
Can someone please advise if it is necessary to fix onto one of the beams behind the plasterboard, I am limited to the area where I can hang the bike and if necessary that I have to fasten to a wooden stud I may not be able to proceed.
