Bike Storage: Wall mounts, stands, lock-ups, sheds, etc.

Glad to help. I once found Cycliste eating breakfast while sitting on the stairs because all the chairs/sofas/seats were covered in bicycle components. Both her flats are sometimes the same, so no blame was involved.

Are they really that fragile?

Not really. I used to collect them for my parents when I worked in catering coming up 30 years ago. They probably still have over 100 of them filled with various bits about the house/shed.

Maybe just me then,or possibly they have been made cheaper over time.
I have plenty, if you can collect from St. Pancras daytime you are welcome to try a few.

Dibs rapha cut out :)

Gonna send you a pm

Thanks to these things and a plank of wood, I've managed to stack two bikes vertically in the shed, and get the others in there.

I'm slightly nervous the whole thing will collapse like a house of cards at some point.

I'm still a couple of hooks short / one bike too many.

Anyone know of any vertical wall mounting options with no drilling required? My landlord won't let me drill the wall and it's a very small apartment, my bikes are getting in the way now

I have 2x gravity stands that are surplus to requirements, similar to the ones @Coops suggested, if you're still looking for something. They hold 2 bikes each and I have attached a photo.

I got them for free from @cake years and years ago, who I think got them in turn from somebody else on the forum, and you, too, could have your very own forum-approved gravity stands for free, in the endless circle of gravity stand forum life. PM if you're interested.

Haha! Yes. Although with a dash of https://michaelkelly.artofeurope.com/karl.htm

I was thinking Christo

Looking at some sort of Asgard bike shed or similar (3 bikes) but everything I'm finding is a bit tall. My bike is about 105cm tall max but everything I can see is a foot taller than this. Any leads on less tall bike sheds? Cheers

A question on Asgard bike sheds. Is it also worth fitting an interior ground anchor?
I figure if they have tools to cut it open they have the tool to cut any additional locks...

Live in London n14. The box will also be covered by CCTV.

Ours is covered by CCTV and I don't really see the advantage of the ground anchor for our application. We have motion sensors on the camera and lights and it's front of the house. Sadly it's not about being impossible to steal, it about encouraging them to find an easier target.

Yep, agreed. You ever heard of an Asguard being broken open? I'm sure its happened but the general consensus seems to be that they are pretty secure.

No. IIRC there was a time when the rear panels could be removed but I think that weakness was addressed.

Has anyone seen or tried 'Forkfix'? looks quite handy for storing bikes in confined spaces.

Interesting ... but front mudguards.

Clever.

I don't think they exist! The only thing that puts me off is the faff of taking off and putting on a wheel!

Sorry for amazon link:

I have these. Fork fix now makes me want to mount them in fork fix style. However. Mudguards.

mud guards indeed, and modern MTB's!

ok, I've talked myself out of it!

Slight dredge RE: how close you can hang bikes - what's the width of the cupboard the two bikes are hanging in? Trying to figure out if I'm overly optimistic a 1m space can take 3 bikes with bars rotated...
