Store Inverted?
I am looking at different options to store my five bicycles in a condo with no out of the unit storage space. One option is to hang a bike inverted.

One bike is Shimano and another is Magura. I have already considered turning the handlebars each time I hang it.see you on the road,ElwoodSee More
