@dbr hooks to go up at the weekend (nice to meet you Saturday and thanks again)

Just re reading this thread and looking at a discussion between @jakemcree and @giofox, did you find out why mounting them lower on the wall is preferable?

3 bikes so 2 sets of drop bars at the top of the 2 other hooks. Easy to measure how much space they need, but how shall I measure how much space to leave for the middle road bike which is upside down?

If you can space them out vertically, then you can put them quite close. If you want them all in a line, assume that the handlebars will hit the saddle of the neighbouring bike, so space by half the width of the widest handlebar + half the width of a saddle.

I think I might have to do that as running the maths on the widest handlebar + half the width of a saddle doesn't work in that space.

How much room if mounting middle one higher up and upside down in the middle do you reckon? And how much higher up?

Cheers!
