Wall mount for bike with crossbar wires

Hi guys,

I just would like to ask some ideas how can I hang at the wall my bike with the brake wires under the crossbar. I attached picture of my bike, I'm planning to make a wood wall mount a triangular in shape or a rectangular but I'm concern about the wires. maybe at the beginning nothing will happen but for sure later on the wire will damage. any suggestion? Thank you.

I wouldn't worry about the cables damaging the finish. Have you considered how far from the wall you are going to have to spacer your bike to clear the handlebars and pedals?

You could just hang it upside down from the wheels.

hi @Retrogrouch yeah I got that measured already. 1 1/2 ft plus little allowance away from the wall.

The other option is to hang by the saddle.
