emm.. those rubber hooks can hold the bike weight? cool..

You must have missed that part of the recent wheel thread. The spokes actually support the wheel when the hub hangs from the spokes at the top of the wheel when rotating not supporting the weight from the ground up.

We must be talking about different hooks. I am talking about these http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...-25&lpage=none
