I've got three bikes stored by hanging from the front wheel - been doing that for 10 years. Each rides perfectly when taken down from its hook.

The only problem with hanging a bicycle is the stuff it hangs on. I have lots of bikes and the plastic covering on the hooks has a tendency to wear through. Once worn through, the metal of the hook will damage an alloy wheel rim. I prevent this by wrapping the hooks with strips of inner tube and PVC taping it into place.

I have my bikes hung up, but they are not by the wheel. I have them on the wall supended by two hooks (for each bike) that come out and cradles the frame. The bikes are horizontal too.

Here at my house, my wife seems to think the support beams on the main floor are going to give way and bring the house down from all the bikes and frames hanging down in the basement.

They deserve a fair trial before you hang them.

I've wondered about this too. Especially on the Tourist's. My Tourist weighs 43 lbs.

I started hanging my bikes by the saddle nose. I did it by accident once, just to get it out of the way for a minute. Then it made sense, if it can support my 200+ , it can certainly handle 20-30.
