Came up with this design for my flat, brief was wall mounting for 4/5 bikes, and be as compact as possible. I was mounting on plasterboard so had to make sure I was spreading the load correctly.
I ended up going for Topeak Swing-up hooks, a little pricey but the big plus is that they swing, which means I can fold the bikes to the left and right for easy access and also make them sit closer together.
The hooks are then mounted to 2 t-slot profiles, the slots mean that the hooks can be loosened and then slid along to another position, good for precisely positioning bikes to handlebars saddles nicely fit together.
Overall, really pleased. Super easy to get bikes in and out, doesn't intrude too much into the room. Hasn't fallen down yet!
