I received my Widle Honde Bike brackets from Extreme lights.

 

Installed them on Saturday. Really easy to install. But probably a two-person job if you are meticulous about heights and marking etc etc.

I have another two to install, but need to do a bit more space planning in the garage to accommodate the bikes.

I'm actually thinking of putting the Zeus in the Lounge, as it's such a stunning classic, but then the missus would want her Yeti in there as well...

 

Edit: Note How I install the missus's bike prior to my own...happy wife, happy life...

Drew up a similar bracket in CAD and had it lasercut out of Stainless Steel, works perfectly for me on my road bike and Full Sus 29er.

I put an appropriately sized Rawl Bolt/Wall Anchor into the wall, with the right size threaded rod to suit my road hubs, and then took the bolt part out, screwed the threaded rod in, slid the wheel over, and tightened with a nut and washer on the other side.

 

I don't know if that makes any sense.

 

Edit:

 

One of these (5x50mm in my case) drilled into the wall, tightened with the supplied bolt, and then removed the bolt.

 

Then I screwed a 5mm Threaded Rod into the Wall Anchor (cut to size in advance)

 

Then I slid the wheel over the threaded rod onto the wall, and then tightened with an M5 Nut and Washer.

 

I hope that makes more sense.

 

You can double up on the wheels as well if the skewer size matches.

Thanks Bertus, I took your advice.  Works very well indeed.  I used a milk bottle top as a spacer as I did not want metal on metal (Rust?) Also used heatshrink on the bar to make the threads smooth. They spin well in situ. and keeps the juice spread.  Its like the Himalayas prayer thingies, give them a twirl when you go past!

Ran out of threaded bar to hang all the wheels.  Did I say it works like a dream!

Awesome! Nice tips on refining the setup as well, will definitely implement on my end!
