Bike Storage - Hanging from wall?

[Reefcat]

With our new bikes arriving next week, we're about to have a bit of a storage problem in the garage. Been looking around the web and there seem to be any number of "solutions". With the space we have available, the wall hooks that hang the bike vertically against the wall look like the most efficient.

Does anyone use these, are they any good or will they damage the wheel & spokes.

Thank you

Your bike is designed to carry a rider weighing up to 100 kilos and it weighs about 8 kilos. Is it going to destroy itself by hanging from a wheel?

Yes, yes, no. and no.

They're great. No problems with them at all. I've got 5 bikes hanging up like that.

I think it would all come down to the method of hanging the bike. Using a hook form that you can pad and then sit the frame on would be okay. I have a stand that I got from Aldi that I've put my summer gloves over the hooks and stuck my racer up on it no problems. hanging from the wheels could only really be a problem if you've not got the wheels tight enough to prevent them separating from the frame. properly hung and cared for shouldn't see it being a problem unless knocked off

Looks awesome for a winter storage unless you have some way to clean them before they touch the nice white wall. Also works best with the small bars. put drop bars or mountain bike bars it's suddenly not as organised

The trouble is, that you can get more bikeS in the shed,
Here are my 8 bikes,.

My motley crue, I have hung bikes for years . I buy the hangers from ebay at about £9 for 3.

That's rather minimalist, but I like it!

Turbo corner.

The only problem in hanging vertically is that I won't be able to park the car on the garage.
By hanging it horizontal, I can still park the car under them.

You just have to get a larger garage

To be honest my shed looks more like your garage, so I am far from super tidy. That heater is the one I should have brought rather than the noisy blower one I do have. The next build is going to have underfloor heating in the garage, like the house has.

The correct answer to this question is that we had a fairly long discussion on this subject back in September in THIS THREAD so this one is redundant!
