• I store a couple of bikes vertically with clugs and the rear wheel on the ground. In the last few weeks, 3 bikes that have been stored there have all broken a spoke on their rear wheel. I'm beginning to suspect that it might be an issue with the storage method putting pressure on the rear wheel or something. Anyone else have this issue?

  • The static weight of the bike resting on the wheel is surely less stressful than you riding on it.

  • @Fox had spokes loosen themselves completely on a bike hung up from the front wheel for ages. That was more concentrated force for longer but it can do weird things.
