yeah I was wondering about that as I was drilling and screwing the hooks in listening to the sound of expanding compressing wood fibers ... don't know if they are 8s or 10s. I should measure just for kicks. I won't be putting any others in that particular joist. I had thought about one hook pr joist with the bike perpendicular to the joists but this was easier
