bike wall mount

Delboy007

Hi all,
Need to get some king of bike wall mount to hang up the bike to leave the space on the ground and some thing to hang shoe etc on the wall out of the way. Something nice and cheap and cheerfully like 20 to 50 ero all in. Any ideas welcome
Thanks

I did a lot of research here and nearly pulled the trigger on some expensive items...

Ultimately I ended up with two large hooks, pre-covered in rubber. Cost probably 10 euro. I needed 2 to stop the wheel/handlebars twisting when mounted. The back wheel still rests on the ground and the wall. Bike is held vertically by the 2 hooks, but not hanging from them, if you get my drift. Woodies, or even your local hardware store will have them.

B&Q have inexpensive wall brackets to hang bikes by the front wheel. I can't recall how much they are but it's only a few Euro.

If you're handy with the tool it's very easy to make one out of a 1/2 sheet of plywood that hold bike shoes and helmet.

There's a few examples on youtube.

That's a standard hook which isn't angled to take a wheel. The type in the link below are much simpler and more effective.

That hotizontal hanging might work with one bike but if you have several, it's more efficient to hang vertically and as near to ceiling/roof as possible

Hi guys, on a related issue for anyone who has their bike insured and keeps it indoors, for the policy to be valid the bike has to be securely attached, i.e chained or securely locked to a structure that is a part of a permanent fixture eg a radiator or a secure steel frame.
If you are including the bike in your household insurance it has to be named as a separate item and a value along with a receipt provided.
Dated and verifiable recent photographic evidence needs to be provided in case any claims might be made. Locking it in the spare bedroom against the wall is a no no.
My brother in law is in the insurance business and over the years a few bogus thefts were unearthed, what with the value of high level bikes gone into the thousands the insurance companies brought in pages of new criteria in order to unearth any skullduggery going on out there.

It depends on the policy. My house insurance just requires the place of storage to be secured, either house or shed. When I looked at bike specific insurance, they wanted it secured to a permanent feature, but only if kept outside the house (i.e. if in a shed). Might be worth confirming what they mean by "inside", as inside the house may not have the same conditions?

Back to the wall mount, I use several of the style below. I didn't pay near that price though!

Its no harm to ask, a guy I work with is big into proper racing and TT`s so as you can imagine his bikes are serious pieces of kit. His insurance stipulates what I mentioned above and that cost him a petty penny but each to his own.

Created this (with Lumen).

2x4 (4 euro or so for a 2,4m length, with only about half of it needed)
3 wall hooks (3.50 each from Halfords)

Couple of screws...

i use the pedal hangars. i have two bikes one above the other in the garage and still get to use the space below for boxes etc. it is quite difficult to get the top bike and wouldnt be wanting to be doing it too often especially as i have to mess around with locks etc to keep them safe. I think its the most space efficient way.

the wheel hooks are pretty good too but i think the ones below in the second link are better than the ones people have shared above. you could use a hinge with it to swing them out of the way if you wanted to be really fancy. and maybe loosen the handlebar

I’ve the hooks above works well in the shed. But haven’t the head room to hang off crowd so they can wobble a bit. I added the rack below to hold the wheel snd it’s much better
I’m sure you’ll get it cheaper.
