Bike storage

Can anyone tell me if you can damage suspension on mtb by hanging it from wheels? :?:

Vertically?

Oil in the forks can damage the seals apparently if it's stored that way for too long.

I also understand it can affect hydraulic brakes.

Yes vertically.
It only hangs from ceiling for about a week at a time.

something i considered, but was unsure about the same issues. Also wondered if it might put strain on the headset.

Going to hang mine upright when i get round to sorting the garage out :?

Can't see it being a problem some how. Look at the position of some of the rear shocks. They're positioned as if it was upside down.
Would also have thought brakes will be okay, its not like the fluid has anywhere to run.
