Garage bike storage

Sorry, only just saw your reply;

Amazon links getting messed up.  Search for “Reehi Large J Garage Hooks,Steel Garage Tool Storage for Organizing Power Tool,Laddy,Bulk Items (4pcs)”

I would have liked to find a way of cutting them in half and using one half per hanger, but decided life was too short and just bent it flat in the vice! Depends a bit on rim as well as tyres, 2.4 with deep section carbon aero rims would be more of a struggle!

The tyre in the middle of my pic before, the dirty one, is a 2.75in Dirt Wizard on Stans Flow. Would you believe it, it’s actually 2.75in exactly across the shoulder knobs. There’s space for more in the hook. prob 3.25, would be the limit, less with a taller rim, maybe more more with a very flat rim profile like stans Hugo.

I don’t think I want any of the bikes upside down anyway. Maybe I could tolerate the rigid MTB being, it’s effectively my gravel bike so the brakes just need to work.

To echo NBT, I’ve not had any issues, either, and storing suspension forks upside down (or at least at about 100 degrees from their usual angle) helps keep a bit of oil on the seals and foams at the top of the leg. I seem to remember Hope O2s or similar having a problem at Metabief one year a long long time ago until the lift ops figured out hanging the bikes by one wheel or another (I’m guessing back wheel – honestly it escapes me) on the teleseige stopped them sucking in lots of air as the (very, very hot) braking system cooled on the way back up the mountain. Other than that, I don’t recall it ever being a problem.
