I'd like to free some space in my bike room by storing my bikes vertically end on to the wall (if that makes sense).
Any advice about whether I should go for a [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=60754 ]simple hook[/url], a [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=60751 ]bike specific hook[/url]or a more [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mottez-Bike-Wall-Mount-Stand/dp/B001XURAJ0 ]substantial arrangement[/url]?
whatever it is, make sure it's fixed to the wall properly if you're going to put it over your bed, is my advice :/
Thanks for the advice jeff, but I tend not to sleep in the bike shed... Unless I've been really bad.
Does this advice come from a nasty incident.
I use reasonably heavy duty hooks from [url= http://www.screwfix.com/p/100kg-hooks-black-210mm/25264 ]Screwfix[/url], £2.50 each. I considered getting the bike specific hooks but I'm glad I didn't, there's really no need.
Hooks just over half a bar width apart, one high, the next lower, then high again and so on makes great use of space.
The wall material you're fixing into might make a difference, I screw the hooks straight into the breeze block wall (drill hole, no rawl plug needed) and they are very secure.
