Moving house next week into a house with an integral garage.
I’ve always kept my bikes (3) indoors but that’s about to stop.
Therefore, they are now to be hung horizontally in the garage. Anyone got any suggestions as to what’s the best hooks ,bars etc?
Two are sloping and one horizontal top tube.
Thanks

    i use something like this...

    use an expansion bolt for at least the top mounting hole, as a screw/plug will pull out over time due to the leverage

    a plus is that if you get the height right, it's good for woking on the bike
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    I use these which work very well. I needed to add wooden blocks to the wall under the front wheel to keep bikes level.
    There is a US version which is far more expensive but includes metal bars to install under front and rear wheels.

    do a search on here - this was the subject of a massive thread about 3 months ago.

    majority answer eeemed to be either B&Q plastic hooks or similar

    I went for these as they keep the bars off the wall. I have six and am happy enough with them

    Agree with OnTheRopes.

    I use these type of hangers. You can hang your bike horizontally by the cross bar (as per the illustration in the link above) but if you attach it to the wall high enough, you can also hang the bike vertically from the bars, wheels towards you, saddle against the wall. Saves space - I have three bikes in a 6ft wide shed all alongside each other. If you have quick release skewers, removing the front wheel frees up even more space and the wheel can be stored alongside the bike.

    Also, these work well as a quick and easy workstand for jobs such as indexing gears, adjusting brakes, bike cleaning etc.
