Anyone had problems with storing bikes upright or upside down? I'm thinking oil in damping cartridges, or brake fluid?
Mine have been hung from both the front and back wheels without any problems.
I hang mine vertically (by the front wheel) and I have heard that it helps lubricate the fox forks.
From a previous place, 6'x4' shed with some racking.

Current place has an old wash house for the mainshed, bit of wasted space in the corner where the tub is filled in, but still plenty of space.
My stumpy brakes (elixir) objected to being hung front wheel up. They are fine if the back wheel is up. They went spongy. My SLX brakes are fine either way. Front wheel is better for forks as IIRC you are better off storing them upside down to lubricate the seals.
I know the avids that used to be on wor lasses bikes didn't even like being laid flat in the car to get to the start of the ride.
Exactly, no wonder so many bikes get stolen
My wooden floors and carpet cost more than my bike to replace, by an awful long way - storing bikes inside would pretty quickly trash those.
finally got some photos of the new shed internals up

Looks a bit incongurous Stoner - the poshest of sheds filled with er On-ones.... 😉
Im want to see the look of disappointment on a burglar's face 😉
😆
ive got a set of dual air rebas which piss the rebound oil out of the floodgate/compression knob if they are stored by the front wheel
seems they need an O ring
the easy fix was to fit a set of rigids, its only the commuter after all.
No shed here, but use garage for bike storage, as well as eveything else-coal/log store, tools etc
It would appear that the sheds shown here are for single purpose, ie bike storage. does this mean that you have a seperate shed for all activities!!!
Other activities? There's only bikes round here chap!
That's my 6x4 shed that you showed in the first couple of posts. Whilst the bikes in the picture have changed then general layout hasn't. Still working really well although it is getting tighter in there due to a recent purchase of tyres! 🙂
other sheds? oh yes
as well as the bike/camping gear shed, there is;
oil tank/lawnmower/bins shed
log shed
log seasoning shed
shed for a car
and a lean to so I can walk from house to bike shed without getting wet
