In my world I can envision that little loop of twine wouldn't stand nicely open and perky while I fished around over my head with a wheel playing "loop the hook". The loop would pinch or shrivel up, or wimp out & fall over, and personal general-life experience tells me I'd never coax it over the hook without being able to reach the hook. If I could reach the hook conveniently then the tire wouldn't be hanging out of the way. If the tire were high enough to be out of the way then I'd need to climb on something to reach the hook, which adds another whole dimension of hassle & hazard (h&h).
I don't see w98seeng's method as being "harder", although it requires a more permanent dedicated installation. I'd rather just snap a tire into the spring-loaded rollers than try to loop-the-hook.
On the other hand, Amesja's plan will hang almost anything while I w98seen'gs broom clips maybe only work for road wheels(?). I question whether it would work for a fully-shod 29x2.1 complete with thorn-resistant tube - either for the weight or the girth.
