Given the photo...and the choice of lubricating liquid...I'll bet there's more than one story behind this!

I did leave out the part about hearing the neighbor's windows slamming shut as I hammered wildly on the upper end of the seat tube with the block of Trex and 2# hammer...

Love the ideas.
Now, I know SOME of you ride mtb's as well. How do you store those? I have always thought and heard to hang them by the front wheel so air in the brake lines do not go to the caliper and cause braking issues. Anyone have a clever way to store other then hanging a bunch just by their front wheel? |

This is an ever-recurring thread on most bike forums!
I was aiming for lowest-possible cost and highest storage density when I designed my sliding-hooks setup, and ended up with reasonable ingress/egress to the tune of 22 bikes along a 17' wall. Up-down-up-down was mandatory (not so strenuous once you've done it a few times in a deliberate way). Pictured room (1st picture) has only a 6'6" ceiling, so there's only room for short things under the bikes. The True-Value threaded ceiling hooks (H# 321220) snap onto the 1/2" iron pipe, while the sliding hooks I made myself using home-made tooling. An earlier version was stand-alone using 2x6 A-frame supports and thicker pipe, useful in the garage and at a storage unit I used at the time. |

Gladiator BikeGear Track system
So far I used a bunch of bike hooks screwed into a 2x4 that I attached to a wall to store my bikes.
This was alright in my unfinished basement, but since I am setting up a little dedicated bike shop (drywalled and painted), I wanted something that looked less DIY. Stumbled across a system from Gladiator at Home Depot. Basically a universal wall rail that can accommodate various attachments, one of them being bike hooks. Thought I'd give it a try and have to say it works really well and looks nice. Another benefit besides the look, is that it is easy to rearrange the hooks, e.g. to hang bikes that I ride less closer than the ones I use often. |

I spaced my bikes at about 30 cm which allows me to hang 9. Yeah, I got the CSI from Gothard here on the forum, wasn't too keen on it at first but it really grew on me Thanks! Last edited by Gsinill; 02-23-2020 at 09:22 AM. |
