Garage side. Various wheels and bikes. Hooks are cheap ones, just screw into the wood. I put a 2x4 across because I wanted control over how far apart the hooks would go and I also didn't want to crack any wood holding the house together.


Hallway to bike room in basement. Black thing at top of picture is corner of bike bag.


Off of the handrail next to the steps up to the house (inside the garage). These hooks are much thicker and require a drilled hole to prevent cracking the wood.

No pic of bike room or the shop area because it's such a mess. Suffice it to say that I have wheels and tires there. All my good tires are in the shop area.

I prefer to hang wheels. I prefer to have a tire on them, but sometimes that's not possible. Just one careless drop and you can ruin the rim. It's like a helmet - you don't plan on hurling yourself headfirst into the pavement but you need to be prepared in case it happens. My good wheels, when lacking tires, hang from hooks.
