Wheel storage for winter?
Any tips?
I've got the wheel bags that came with them but other than that I haven't got a clue.
Keep 'em in the house or put them in the garage, tyres on or off, if on inflated or deflated?
I'm right in thinking suspending them is better than standing them on terra firma, yes?

Yeah, suspend them in the wheel bag and try to release a bit of pressure inside the tire first...0

Because that way, anything touches the rim and the tire, and also the tire will be more round at the beggining of your next season (no flat spots over years)... Same thing for your car tires and rims...
It's the same as some people hooking their bike by the front wheel... Tens to put force on the fork, revealing headset problems or fork premature failure.... But over the years only0 -

Your tyres last you years?
ps Forgot to ask: I keep a spare tyre in the back of my car - it's been there for 3 years, untouched. Do you think I should take the pressure out of it in case it gets flat spots too?0
