Vertical wall mount
Just got a really nice spoked rear wheel built and plan on having the bike hang from that wheel via a vertical wall mount in my studio. This may be a dumb question or me being paranoid about my new wheel, but I figured I would ask anyway; is this bad for the wheel? In terms of trueness, or just the fact that is suspended with all it's weight on the rear wheels spokes and rim? Obviously there's the option to hang with a horizontal mount, but I have 3 bikes and only 400 square ft to work with, so ideally I want to hang vertically.
Thanks

Only thing you should worry about(if it matters) is scratching the wheel, I had a vertical mount for a long while at my old workplace and eventually the rubber came off the hook and the bare metal of the hook was exposed and scratched my rims slightly, but this was a cheap 6 dollar mount and took around a year of use for it to wear off.
