Hi wonder if I can rack your brains folks, I need to fix a bike hanging bracket to a breeze block wall but everything seems to pull out when a load is applied to the bracket. My question is whats the best product to fix a load to breeze block wall? And where can I get it from?

Many thanks

Should be able to use rawlplugs, just remember to use the correct sized drill and plug for the size of screw you are going to use.

I had exactly the same problem and tried all sorts of fittings, including the frame ones. Nothing worked so in the end I binned the holder I'd got and bought a double-height one (bikes are on two levels) that rests on the floor and is attached to the wall at the top with two screws. It's been up for about 5 years now with no movement at all.

I swear by double glazing frame fixings, the type the pro's use... Basically a 4'' or 5'' Torx headed screw. Drill 6mm pilot hole, the screw self taps into it using a drill with a torx headed bit. Only cost about £20 for a 100 from double glazing suppliers & very very strong. I hung all kitcken cabinets with these when changing kitchen recently. No faffing about with rawplugs etc etc
