    Aye. Just whatever cheap, plastic-coated hooks you can find. Putting them up high leaves room for storage underneath.

    excellent (mrs vader is sat next to me spell checking FFS!!!) thanks for these. hooks are added to the shopping list. will have to put some of the hooks fairly low as mrs vader is a short a**e (goes to find ice for minor bruising to ribs)

    I keep my good bikes in the house, a lot more secure. I painted the old coalhouse and made some wooden brackets. The bikes bungee cord to the brackets once the front wheel is off.
    I reckon i could’ve got 3 in there if needed.

    on-one do a single hook for £5, which I have two of. I’ll need to wait until I am finished work to dig out a photobucket pic

    Hooks and bikes nose to tail. I use old inner tube to cover the hooks because after a while the coating wears off and the rims mark. I hang two tandems this way and have had no issue with weight.

    Is storing bikes in the first 2 replies not generally advised against as it could deform fork bushings over time? Just being hyper-paranoid probably…

    a single hook for a 5er … wow – need to get in on that action.

    bnq were doing em for 1.99.

    mines are largely stored as above.

    note your wife might not be able to retreve mtbs – mines cant. road bikes not as much hassle but she tried to take down the mtb once and just about destroyed the garage. it lives on the floor now !

    Rented flat and not wanting to use a pit-prop style braced against the ceiling, so I’ve one of these bike-trees:

    http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/revolution-storage-free-standing-2-bike-stand?bct=browse%2faccessories%2fworkstands-bike-storage

    it’s pretty good, and removing the lower bike is easy enough, as it sits just off the floor.

    Dorset_knob, you’re nearly right with the Mongoose. It’s actually a new school BMX done in the same design as the old early 80’s mongoose. It’s done by a company in the states by the name of Knight Bike co. If you have a look in their galery you’ll see mine in red.

    The others are as follows:

    Orange Skyway Street Beat 1985
    Green Skyway Street Beat 1985
    Black Skyway Street Beat 1988
    Red Skyway Street Beat frame and forks 1988 (on the work top)
    Blue Skyway Street Beat 1988 (Hanging up)
    White Skyway Street Beat 1987 (Hanging up)

    2011 SE Racing Floval Flyer
    On-One C456 in the corner
    Wifes old Gary Fisher behind that 😀
