Bicycle Storage

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I’ve got two bikes in the apartment that are starting to get in the way (Trek 6700 and Klein Quantum Race).  I was wondering which would be the best way to store them.  I’ve seen several storage systems from wall mountable to single pole designs.  Is it better to hang the bikes by the wheels are by the top bar?  If by the top bar, will extended periods of hanging have any effect on the frames?

I would say remove the wheels and hang the frame by the top tube. I don't fancy single brackets. If you use a 2 bracket design, let the one bracket be close to the seat post and the other close to the headset. This will distribute the weight evenly.
