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

The front wheel can turn, so the bike will drop if you hook it by the rear wheel.

Is the solution ever not zip ties?!

Thank you this has solved the problem!

Come see my custom cargo sized front garden Brighton Bike Shed if you’re looking. I’m 75% sure it’s against planning but I’ve made friends with my neighbours and everyone loves a sedum shed roof…

Was wondering if I could use two for front and rear wheel and thus avoid the front wheel turning, or alternatively fashion a bit of nice wood to do the same thing!

That’s very kind, I’ve PMd you!

Thanks for all the advice from this thread.

Me and my partner took down an old rotten shed and put together 95% of a 6 bike Asgard in one day.

We were sent one wrong roof part, but Asgard sent a new one out on next day delivery.

Having two drills would have made the whole process a lot quicker - next time I’d borrow a second as there’s so many screws.

Looks good. Do you chain the bikes up inside as well?

I’ve just done some floor anchors and bought a big chain - but we’re in a pretty small town so am not massively worried. I also think we will maybe put some hanging hooks on or re-arrange somehow. The first job was getting 6 bikes out of the lounge after living here for a year.

It would take a decent amount of noise to break into one - but I def can see that it is doable, I do think quite unlikely though. I wonder if Asgard have stats for in city break ins.

@elra is there enough height to hang bikes in there on the left wall from the wheels?
Would make it easier to get them in / out.

Any suggestions for decent storage options for 3 bikes at the front of a house that cost less (and preferably less ugly but that's not a deal breaker) than an Asgard? Needs to be reasonably secure as the area isn't exactly crime free but nothing that expensive will be going in there.

Had these for about a year and a half. Finally got round to fitting them with some help. From @dbr (ps thanks for the extra advice. just ended up using super long dot and Dab fixings and adding another hole at the top so 3 mounting points)

Spaced out in such a way I don’t need to twist the bars

The door isn’t needed from this room so it’s fine where they are in terms of blocking it

Looking clean!

That's the kind of thing I want to try. Just not sure about the roof...

Loft joists should be designed for 25kg/m2 so as long as the track is fixed into and across multiple timbers, hanging a load of bikes will be fine

Are they M8 dia Park Tools hooks that just sort a screw in direct to the little carriages? All compatible and no faff?

The carriages have a bracket, two nuts on the Park hook and you're good to go. I'll get a photo at some point

Wall-mount pedal hook style things off EBay/Amazon:

How do they cope with wide handlebars? I’m looking to hang a bike with 820mm wide flat bars, as close to the wall as possible, without having to rotate the stem.

82 cm bars!? This is getting beyond a joke

I am a caricature of myself, and I want to hang my clown bike on the wall like a dickhead. Now please tell me what to buy, thx

"loft"

I'm in a flat so I guess more concerned with drilling through someone's floor @_@

So far so good. New paint, room rejigged. Clug.
