can anyone recommend a wall mount, for storing bikes? ideally one i can buy from amazon. cheers

In reply to Matadoors:

How many bikes? Flat against the wall, end on, or up on the ceiling? End on is easiest, any number of front wheel hooks available

In reply to Matadoors:

For upright on the wall I have been using Clugs (road, cx and MTB) and they are cheap and small and have been perfect. Currently the bikes all slot neatly into an alcove beside the fireplace

Wiggle etc all sell it

Artivelo do a really nice wall mount but it is pricey and I ordered mine from Holland. Not as useful in the new house hence the move to Clugs

In reply to Matadoors:

We've got a row of these in the garage;

Very cheap and simple!

In reply to Matadoors:

I'm waiting for somebody to ask whether it will harm their bike to be hung up by the front wheel.

(Answer: no; a bike designed to carry a 100 kg person isn't going to pull itself apart under its own 9 kg weight.)

In reply to Matadoors:

Have a couple of these and they are excellent, if a little pricey!
perfect for carbon frames/wheels as they don't touch the frame or wheels.

I did a google on "Wiggle Clugs" and the first hit was a lapdancing bar in Bournemouth - take care if at work !

I've got similar hooks to those linked by Dave (albeit from Evans at twice the price). It's a good idea to offset the height of them so the handlebars don't get tangled with each other. The only problem I've had is that the plastic coating gets damaged by the spokes. Fortunately I have a substantial supply of old inner tubes - just one of so many uses for them.

In reply to Matadoors:

thanks. will have a look at all of those links! 2 - 3 bikes, flat against the wall ideally

In reply to Matadoors:
i wont be looking for wiggle clugs or steady racks in work though

In reply to Matadoors:

I use one of these - http://www.maxxraxx.co.uk/Racks/wall_storage.html
Bomb proof but might be ott for what you are looking for.

In reply to Matadoors:

Just to be safe, the actual website, no lap dancing bars

I've got 4 of the 'mottez' bike storage hooks on my garage wall. Simple effective and very cheap. £ 2.99 each from Halfords!

In reply to Rigid Raider:



I confess I have always wondered about that! (well, damaging the wheel at least) The load distribution is quite different in the two set ups so perhaps it's not totally daft to question it. (he said hopefully)

In reply to Matadoors:

Looking down the thread this isn't the answer to what you're looking for !

But if anyone's looking for a smart solution for flat to the wall storage of their road bike indoors then I recommend checking out a Cycloc.
Far from the cheapest but effective and looks great.
