Wheel and frame storage ideas

Looking for wheel and frame storage ideas

Basically I need a pole about 1.5 - 2 feet long which bolts onto a wall. Allowing me to slide multiple frames and wheels onto each one.

Any ideas what I can Use?

You can use some wall mounted brackets like these



...with a curtain pole between the two, but if you slide the frames onto it and you want one of the frames in the middle you would have to remove the other frames first so you might be better handing them on rubberised/plastic coated S hooks

Thanks for the suggestion. Because of the layout I need them to come away from the wall rather than in line.

Basically a scaffold pole but thinner sticking out of wall attached by screws

I'm with you.. in that case, screw one of these to the wall



The galvanised tube which fits inside is £5/m

Maybe wrap with a bit of innertube or helitape to protect the frames

Yes something like that. Pipe needs to be thin enough to go through spokes though

I need 3 or 4 mate but I’d happily pay and collect from Shef if you could come up with something?

I'd be very worried of it pulling out the wall or bending with a static load applied.
the idea above with a gallow bracket is good but needs modification to suit.
flip it over so the gallow is above the jib then use the hooks underneath it to hold wheels and frames.
still isn't ideal, but it's more likely to take the load.

3 sets of wheels on each one would be max so I doubt that it could pull it out of a wall

Maybe 3-4 frames also don’t weight that much

Rafter hooks hold the front wheels In the attic. Downstairs pulleys to lift the current bikes I’m riding up to the ceiling. AC hoisting winch upstairs attached to a beam that slides out the door on old skateboard or roller blade bearings. Collapsable attached folding ladder and trap door to get into the attic and a rope with carabiner that clips across the open door when I have to reach out the door.
