Can I store my bike upside down on hooks?

SURE…Kinda. You can't hurt your frame or wheels BUT depending on what kind of brakes and shocks you have you may need to keep the bike orientated like you ride it.

Bicycles that have Hydraulic Disc Brakes need to have the brake levers stay higher than the calipers (near the wheels). If you flip the bike over for long periods of time small air bubbles in the brake levers can make their way into the lines causing unsafe brakes. The suspension is another piece of equipment that you want to not store flipped over. Inverting a fork will cause the oil to leak out.

If you are not sure what you have or you need storage mounts we can help you find the perfect solution.
