I don't mean to thread crap, but a couple of hooks works as well (as long as you don't have very high ceilings), looks less conspicuous, and costs just a couple of dollars. Just FYI.

u must have high celings for this to work, or ppl would just hit their heads.

I had the type of "J" hooks that screw into the ceiling beams and hold the bike up-side down. I finally got tired of hitting myself on the head everytime I went into the garage, (We are a family of 6) that I visited my local HD and picked a couple Crawford Flip Up Storage Rack. They cost about $5.00 each and allow me to mount the bikes onto the wall studs.

Yeah that drawing really sells the product - not... Jes...do you have any actual pics of the product in use so I can see how the bike is really stored?

FYI for those who might hang their bike upside down.....

If ya got suspension,you might think again.

Any decent suspension will use oil to damen, but they're designed to upright.

Turn your bike upside down and it might leak....or worse yet, leak on your shinny car and eat the paint.


My $.02 of caution....and experience of a couple of frients of mine.

This works if you want to get the bikes down for the wife and kids. The pully setup allows THEM to get it down. I have thought of these for a while. Target has them for $19.99.

Yeah, it happens. I had my bike hanging by the rear wheel from the vaulted ceiling center beam in my old apartment. The fork began leaking oil onto the apartment's end table after a few month living there.

I took it as the fork telling me that its seals had crud in them and needed to be cleaned. I let it go for a few weeks and then took it apart and cleaned it. No more leak. Bike happy. End table happy.

My 200lbs bouncing around and taking regular 3ft drops onto this fork puts a lot of pressure on the seals. If the seals aren't clean, the oil comes out no matter if it's up-side down or not. When mucked up oil and dirt begin to cover the fork arms, I know it's past the time to do maintenance on the fork.
