Vertical cycle storage.....help please

[gelfy666]

A while ago i saw a vertical cycle storage thingy advertised on the internet somewhere.... basically you put the rear wheel in then push the bike vertical and it was kept there by part of the holder supporting the bike via its seat stem.

Anyway cant remember its name or where to find it...... any ideas?

Is it not possible to place a hanger on an outer wall? I would think the outer walls of the house whatever could be brick or block under the plasterboard.

The studs should be every 400 or 600mm

You don't need wooden studs.

Screw the wall hanger to a bit of wood/mdf about 300mm x 600mm, drill four holes 30mm in from the corners and fix to the wall with plasterboard fixings, put some adhesive on the back of the wood before hanging ( no more nails or similar).

We live in a house that was thrown up in the 70s with a very small amount of blocks downstairs and just the bikes are stored upstairs where's there's even less lol... I'll try the MDF approach with the plaster board fixings

My house has no wooden studs in the internal walls, just plasterboard and there is 40kg plus radiators hanging on the walls from 4 fixings , as long as you are not fitting to a ceiling and the plasterboard is fixed properly then they can take a good weight hanging off them.
