BlackSnow Posted April 19, 2016 Share I'm to embarrassed to post pics of mine...one word: chaotic Anyway a tidy bike room is a sign of a crazy mind.....You are 100% on the money there. I am loosing my mind because bike upgrades are way to expensive and I can't feed the ever growing addiction to add bling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted June 16, 2019 Share I figured that I'd revive this and post here, in stead of on the Latest Purchase thread every time I buy more materials and work on the bike shed/garage. Here's where I'm at so far... The Bike Wall... Before: During: The current "After": It's a work in progress. I'm only about half way on linking the wall with ply. Then the plan is to drill some 18mm holes into the ply, insert some 18mm dowel, and organize things like helmets, hydration packs, etc. I'm a novice builder/DIYer so it's been a big learning curve.

patches Posted June 17, 2019 Share Awesome! Where do I find Steadyrack in S.A.? Hmmm, that is a good question... A quick search showed that there are a few options Want it All - Absolutely ridiculous pricing (so not rally an option). Seriously, over R5000. They must be high!Chain Reaction - Fortunately they sell to SA. CRC doesn't sell them to AU/NZ though, probably because of local distribution etc. But at R934 it's about the right price.Here in NZ they fluctuate from $70 - $120 (R672 - R1152) depending on who has a sale. I got mine for $80 (R768). Another few options are the the Topeak Swing-Up, Swing-up EX and Feedback Velo Hinge racks. Similar concept and a cleaner simpler look. The main differences are that they hook the rim as opposed to cradling the tyre, and you cant "roll the bike in" on the back wheel. Some lifting is required. The Velo Hinge also only moves in a single direction. The Topeak will set you back approx. R1000 in SA.https://bicyclegarage.co.za/products/topeak-swing-up-bike-holder Not sure on the Feedback Velo Hinge, but Paragon are the SA distributors. Topeak Swing Up I looked at all 3 of those options and I settled on the Steadyrack based on tyre width & rim depth. I wasn't sure of the Topeak or Velo Hinge could accommodate a 30mm rim with 2.4 WT tyres. Hope that helps! jdwet1980, Andrew_Smith and ChrisF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccc whippet Posted June 18, 2019 Share Looking at these pics above... i ask has anyone had any issues with storing the bikes at this angle...with regards to fluid in the brakes...suspnesion etc...considering the suspension and brakes should be sealed...there shouldnt be a problem. I do know you cannot store a bike with fluid brakes upside down (hanging form the garage rafters) ...i saw the results on the levers...it wasnt pretty.
