I am building another bike and want to keep it in the same small room as my current road bike. As a result, I would like to mount my road bike to the wall as shown in the sketch below high enough to place another bike against the wall underneath it.

I could fabricate something out of wood but I presume a wall mount already exists I could buy on line. I presume it would be best to screw the supports to the studs behind the drywall.
I would prefer the type that holds underneath the top tube as my cables run inside the top tube of my current bike.

Anybody have a recommendation?
Many Thanks

Can we get a picture of the drive side?

Just kidding I was looking at the other thread about storing your bike. You may be able to get some ideas from there.

I just picked up a hanger from Lowe's which would do exactly what you are asking. It was about $8.00 and the best part (as far as I was concerned) was that it folds up when you aren't using it. find a stud in the wall, two screws and done.

I'm looking a something like this as well. Have a pic? does it have some padding/rubber stuff on the arms?

Had one of these. Simple, cheap, works great. What more could you ask for?

I've got this:



And this:



Both work. The former is prettier. The latter is easier to install in that it only has to hit one stud and you don't ahce to worry about the spacing of the studs.

Both are available at Coloradocyclist.com

I have one of these in my garage. I hang my road bike on it, and my wife's bike sits on the floor underneath it. I think I paid about $7 for it at Lowe's. I love it.



Here's mine and how it's mounted.

Why the piece of wood in the first pic? Presumably, the wood is screwed into the same stud that the hanger would go into directly.

And for $17 more you get a couple of rows of shelving to put wheels, or someting else on!

I don't know about the wood. I just found that picture on Google before I realized I had some of my own. I just have mine screwed into the concrete block in my garage with a couple Tapcons. I can hang on it and I weigh 270.

You beat me to it. That's the same one that I picked up. I was getting tired of moving my bike out of the way to get to the door to the deck. Now it's up out of the way and if the need arises the hanger can be swung up and out of the way. I was thinking of making something as well, but for the price I couldn't beat it.

lowe's does have a pretty nice "home storage solution" section where they have a few bicycle typed hangers, like the one pictured above. as far as i know every lowes carries the same product line, so you should be able to find something like that easy.

Thank you very much everybody. Lowes looks to have the best bang for buck solution and is likely more sturdy than the wood model or crafting one out of wood as I like to work with wood a bit.

Will head to Lowes and pick one up.

Here's to spring and ride safe.

I doubt the Lowes model is more sturdy than the wood one. The Lowes hangar appears just about identical to the metal one I have, without the additional cross pieces.

The Wood one I have is definitely stronger than the metal. That said, both are strong enough for the purpose of holding up a bike, and the only reason I can see for the wood model is aesthetics.
