Storing wheelsets
Hi all,
Over the years I have aquired several wheelsets and need to know the best way to store them when not in use. I see bike shops hang wheels but is this the best way? Most of the wheels I have will be used a few times a year. Thanks to all who help. Cheers, Rick in Tennessee |

nice! there's two 'antique' spec racers leaning against the wall and
out of foot in the tool closet one with spare conti tt mounted on it, the other waiting. No tubes. without rims, tires are stored flat on a flat surface |

It's certainly not going to do any damage to them, if that's what you're wondering. Bikes are hung by their wheels all the time without hurting them, so just the wheels by themselves will be fine. The biggest thing I'd be concerned about is ozone damaging vintage skinwall tires, but modern blackwalls are mostly immune to that. |

Most of the wheels I have will be used a few times a year. Thanks to all who help. The purpose of hanging wheels is so they don't sit on a flat tire if left standing on the floor, besides getting them out of the way. Standing on a flat causes sharp bends in the tire casing and cracking from stress at these points, both in the tire and tube. Metal wheels with steel spokes are not affected by hanging under their own weight or several times that weight other than possible scratches if the hook is not padded. Hang your wheels... and bicycles. Jobst Brandt |

comes to mind best bet is building a wheel box: two adjacent sides
open, wheels stored on runners, wheels slide out? |

And that's better than a 95-cent hook in mid-air because. . .? FOOLPROOF! NO LIBERAL MORON'S GONNA WALK INTO THE 145 degree ATTIC WITH A TUBA4 AND BASH URINE RIMS WHEN DAZE BOXED! beyond that, whose sealing heights allow hanging rims? BRANDT'S CASTLE? ok let's measure Brandt's sealings! yawl could hangem from the garage sealing, wow! now there's a hot idea. do we have time for several hundred horoor stories on fragile equipment stored in accessible spaces? |
