Evicted!! Bicycle Shed storage question!!

davidcambridge1

My parents have evicted my bikes from the house after making the carpet muddy, and getting rubber marks from the tyres on the walls! In exchange, they have built me a shed. It is actually built like Fort Knox, so I can't complain, as it's got massive locks on, concrete floors, hinge bolts and an alarm system. However, it is just an empty shed, and I really don't want to just lean them up against each other, so what options do I have? The shed isn't that big, so I would probably hang the best bike on the wall, and put the others in a stand.

I was thinking a stand like this:

Has anyone got one of these? Do the spokes lean against the stand if you're using road bike wheels (ie. 23mm tyres)? And if so, is it damaging, will it bend the spokes and scratch the paint?? Also, are they better mounted to the floor or to the wall?

3 MTBs 1 road bike hanging on the same as above. Cheap and handy

I was looking to ask the same question so thanks to te OP. Question to the respondents - how do the brackets above hold the front wheel? Is this safe for any wheel? Due to my increasing number of bikes, I need to start suspending my bikes vertically to fit them all in and want to use something like this. In particular is a deep all carbon wheel (Zipp 808) safe to treat like this?

The bracket is coated in rubber. I have my fulcrum racing 3 wheels in it. I Dont know if a deep section rim would fit. Its a squeeze fitting my mtb in with knobblies.

Plenty of choice here
