Where is your storage going to be, inside house, garage, shed ?? If you have the space, I can't recommend these enough. A little pricey, but they are fantastic and do not regret buying them

Steady Rack, I have 2 of the version for fenders as they handle fenders, but I think they work much better for the road\gravel tires. The other 4 are the standard Steady Racks. One of my bikes is at the shop , but these things swivel side to side and roll right on and off, no lifting. I originally bought them, as my wife hated lifting her bikes off the hooks or the racks. so I just hung some 1 x8x12 across the wall attached to the 2x4's and then spaced them out based on handle bar type. Flat bars about 2 ft spacing, drop bar, roughly 16" if I remember. The fender version will easily accept up to a 42mm tire hard pack type gravel tire, a slightly knobber gravel up to maybe 38, possibly 40. Anything really knobby will need the standard type, like a Mountain bike type knobs. Keeps everything off the floor, they sit about 1.5 to 2 inches off the ground. When I need to replace the AC filter, I just swivel everything to the left, replace and move them back... no fuss, no muss. They sit pretty close to the wall as well. I used to have one of the 4 bike stands, and it took up so much space with the bikes on it, so I opted for a better plan and this was it.
