multiple bike storage!

[caligurl]

Really efficient way of storing bikes Cali, but I am wondering about the pressure on the wheels... how are they attached to the wall? Do the wheels have much weight/pressure on them?

Just thinking, wheels are made to have pressure on the rim/spokes from the road up and the rider down... if your bikes are hooked up by wheels wouldn't that put "un-natural" stresses on them? I think your mtbike wheels would be robust enough... but I wouldn't put my $1000 ksyriums anywhere near that if any weight went on the wheels...

Any chance of a close up shot of how they are locked onto the wall? Cheers.

i can try to take a picture of them close up this weekend... (i'm at work now) but i don't think there's too much unnatural pressure.. heck.. people hang them upside down from ceilings! that puts the whole load of the bike on the wheel (not that either of the two carbon bikes weigh that much) i think there is probably less pressure on the wheels the way they are hanging than if they were sitting on the floor leaning on something...

i know when i was asking different forums (including this one) about ways to store... it seemed that these style of hangers were very popular with people....

here is the link to what the leonardo's look like: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/....cfm?sku=17340

here's a pic at another website that shows how they hang: http://www.rackoutfitters.com/store/...?idproduct=447

and delta's site (they are the manufacturer): http://www.deltacycle.com/product.php?g=57

(actually.. i think the last two are the same picture!)
