Hanging up a carbon bike

So, the SecretSam new HQ has limited garage space for n+1, so want to suspend the best carbon bike on the wall. I'm going to do this so the bike is parallel to the wall - so is it best to hang it from saddle/stem or use two padded 'arms' to cradle the top tube? If it was the Alu or steel machines, easy decision - arms it is - but not sure about carbon.
Thanks in advance

It's just a hill. Get over it.

It'll be fine with arms under the top tube.
It only becomes fragile when you clamp

Have you got internally routed brake cabling on the top tube? Makes arms a little trickier if not.0

I hang mine from the front wheel.0

My guess would be hang it anyway you like. Seems a little paranoid to worry that a bike you ride, hit bumps with, and pedal hard would break simply by hanging it certain way. :roll:0

What do you mean, paranoid? Who's saying I'm paranoid?!?!?!?!?!?! They're all talking behind my back, I can hear them...
