  • I'd even bothered to install a rudimentary wedge under the rear wheel. Fortunately no damage, must have rocked back on to saddle then kept upright by other bikes. I think will cable tie in the short term, until I think of something better, it's not a frequently used bike.

  • New place demands more storage creativity, have too mich height for any pole option so will go the Point pedal route.
    Problem is, can´t find any (except ebay) so am willing to produce some.

    Anybody with the point pedal thing willing to measure it up so I can replicate?
    Angle and length of angeld bit seem most important.

    Maybe willing to make a whole bunch if anyone wants some.

  • re Point: length of long bit could probably be improved ... Seems like the length allows clearance for handlebars on a jump bike. No good unless you use a jump bike. So try making one a bit shorter (at least, that's how I'd improve it).

    I could try and measure one of mine on the wall if no-one can lend you one. Would like a new improved one in return ;)

  • Slow puncture + Clug = expensive bike on floor this morning.

    This is quite a consideration, wonder how many people have actually caused damage cos of this?

  • Only solution I can think of are big magnets that pull on the valves

  • This is a good suggestion. I re-angled mine slightly so the bike sits at a more acute angle. The platform that supports the pedal is also pretty big (designed for flats) so if you don't use them you could save some material/space here as well.

  • ^ let me think up something, I'll post a design here as soon as I have something usable.

    thinking angle cant be to steep as it would need a descent pivot point on the tires which would relieve downward force on the pedalplate. downward/gravitational force vs sideward force with pivot point on tires should be about equal I think.

  • Those racks made from an Ikea pole lok ideal for what I need however seems Ikea don't do them anymore. Anyone know where I can find something similar?

  • One of these kinda things for plasterboard:

    And some rubber munsen rings to attach an alu bar and hooks, is currently doing the trick holding a couple of bikes for me.

  • Velcro strap screwed behind the clug which can loop through the wheel.

  • Cheers, this is probably the answer I couldn't think of. To the haberdashery, clugman!

  • Interested in improved pedal hangar things, you should do a list

  • Will make list once I finalize a design and get quote from my supplier.

  • I've just fitted two gearup pulleys in the hall way. They're well made, and there's lots of fixing options.

  • I made a new thing...

    Bike hangar done!

  • Just uninstalled a pair of those Point pedal hooks because I need the wall for something else.

    If anyone fancies the pair for a tenner just let me know.

    Edit: Sold to @b&d

  • Is there a forum front garden bike shed of choice? Something that will keep them safe in East London but not cost the earth.

  • Anything labelled Heavy Duty from one of the online retailers should be ok but you will always need to add additional features - shed shackle, door hasps, ground anchor, tamper proof bolts etc.

  • I've used these to make pedal hangers in the past - just need a bit of dremelling and bending. I always just guessed the angle....

  • Does anyone know where I can get something like this, but with a closed loop/cross bar thing so that there's something to get a lock through.

  • Yeah, similar to that is my plan b, but I was hoping for something more integral for a sleaker look.

    Like the cycloc, but not as pricey, or the mama one, but still for sale.

  • I like that a lot. What's the ceiling height? Whats it like hooking and hooking one of the bikes from the middle?
