Quite like the look of this - it looks like it'll have plenty of adjustability plus it will make my spare room look like a shop. Can't find any reviews though. What do we think?

Looks quite good that. Just don't bolt it to a stud (plasterboard)wall.. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Hmmm, that's my only option really. I use proper hollow wall fixings though that have always been fine in the past. Got one bike up on a hook at the moment which is as sturdy as anything, so I'd have thought 4 bikes would be OK seeing as the load would be spread over a large area? Or is the wall going to fall down?!

if it's a plasterboard wall then just find where the studs are and attach it to those.

I have 3 of these http://cyclebasket.com/m5b0s264p942/KF_SH02_Folding_Storage_Hooks_ so I put them on 3 different walls around my garage, and use other cheap hooks that screw into wood or stone for helmets, tyres and tubes

I've posted this before but this is what I'll be doing to store the familys bikes in my workshop.

Yep I've got something virtually identical at the moment that works a treat:

just fancied something a bit neater as it's going in my flat!

Bit too DIY for my liking, make sure to post up pics after you do it though!

hmmm, hadn't thought about hanging them vertically. That would probably be more space efficient.

Very space inefficient to have them flat against the wall. Some gear hooks from B&Q and bits of wood and you could make your own, a la:

Halfords do one for about 3 quid that allows you to hang them from the from the front wheel and rest against the wall.

They are great, I have about 8 of them

Yes, those are the ones. you cannot go wrong with them for the price.

I have ordered a few more to take care of the last few bikes that are not hung up (garage is in need of a tidy up first!).

I have them on both sides (the RHS are obscured by the racking)

The problem i've got is that my workshop is quite narrow so I want to hang them & then lay them over against the wall as in the "velogrip" video.

The Halfords ones above will allow you to twist them at a bit of an angle (so that they are not perpendicular to the wall). It would make them a bit harder to get off of the hook though I reckon.
