Azonic Posted July 27, 2012 Share Here's my setup at home. We've got a duplex with not allot of space. The "cube" where the staircase comes up can't really be used for anything, so we did this. I can fit about 6 bikes into a 1.2m x 1.5m space. Only 4 bikes in the photos, but space for 2 more. Some wheels we store in here as well, others in another cupboard.

DIRT EATER KZN Posted July 27, 2012 Share Here's my quick fix We're in a 1bedroom granny flat, so space is very limited. I used some 8mm round bar, bent it in j hook, then welded that hook to the head of a rawl bolt. Drilled, secured, hung... Job done. Oh and i also covered the hook with some rubber piping to prefent scratching.... http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd156/rynovanz/20120725_172618.jpg my wife would kick me in the gooch if i trried that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you literally have to rebuild your bike every time that you want to ride it, would drive me crazy, but if you are spacially challenged, it looks good...

Vinnydabutcher Posted July 27, 2012 Share The old timer who lived their died of a heart attack - I almost did too the first time I walked in there. However - believe it or not - that was NOT the worst paint job in the house! We repainted EVERYTHING, in the house, before we could move in. I still get stick from my mates about the garage when they come visit! There is actually 3 bike up there now with the new addition - all out the way of Mrs da Buther`s wicked parking skills.

ibruegge Posted August 6, 2012 Share it took me 20 year of riding to figure out a quick, cheap, convenient way of storing bikes - after I read this thread I tried it too. it is amazing, you can set gears etc while bikes are on the wall: Decapod_Crew and DirtyFrank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
