flyluis Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 So what's the story with hanging a mountain bike on one these hooks? Some say you can't others say you can? help? http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/icetoolz-two-way-storage-rack
droo Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Bicycles in general take a whole lot more abuse than being hung by their front wheels. I've been hanging my bikes like that for years and never had a problem. If anything it's good for the fork. Cassie and MTBc 2
Kritzie Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Go buy the exact same thing at Builders wharehouse (the screw in one with rubber coating) for about R30.00. I hang my bikes on these hooks and have been doing it for years without problems. dirtrider and flyluis 2
Cornerz Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Worst that will happen is you'll have some oil leaking out your front shock - which it shouldn't - so if it does - get it serviced!
NotSoBigBen Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Why not just hang it from the back wheel? Meentb and Chro Mo 2
Chro Mo Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Why not just hang it from the back wheel?I did just that!
dirtrider Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Why not just hang it from the back wheel? It's easier to pick up the front !!! You don't wheelie a lot ? Claudio 1
Meentb Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Why not just hang it from the back wheel? Exactly.
ichops Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I think this is better than haging them upside down from the rafters as I do - sometimes I need to piump the brake levers to get them working again - feels like the an air bubble has gone to the caliper ??
NotSoBigBen Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 It's easier to pick up the front !!! You don't wheelie a lot ? No I don't 'wheelie' at all unless it's by accident and then I normally end up on my a$$ SwissVan and Tumbleweed 2
SwissVan Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Why not just hang it from the back wheel? Coz it's downhill and the bike will get lazy... Actually I need to start hanging my bikes from the wall to make space in the dudgeon.. at the moment they fighting for space on the floor with the golf clubs and other bits

Wayne Potgieter Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I hang mine by the saddle. Those red plastic covered hooks from builders for R30 for a 2 pack, and a piece of foam to protect the handlebars. See.... Tumbleweed 1
