Just decided to hang all of our bikes using these [url= http://postimg.org/image/k0tftoh4x/ ]Link[/url]

They work just fine but I had a mild panic that the weight of the bike bearing down on the hook might dent the rim!! This is nonsense right and I'm just being daft?

Right.

Correct..... ๐Ÿ˜†

The rims aren't an issue.
Squidgy brakes from any trapped air moving around (ahem, Avid) and forks leaking their oil would be the things to worry about.
But, I'm sure it'll be fine ๐Ÿ˜‰

Being daft, your bike is under far more strain while being ridden than hung up.
