Re: [RBW] OT: Bike Storage
I had good experience with Racor PBH. I have 6 bicycles hoist with that method and is very convenient.

[RBW] OT: Bike Storage
There are lots of different hooks, bike-specific and non-, that you can find at HD, on amazon etc. In almost every case, the vinyl tool dip or neoprene coating is the weak point. it never lasts through more than a few on-and-offs. Probably makes sense to wrap whatever you buy with a strip of old inner tube under some extra bar tape or twine (un-shellacked) right from the start. No reason your bike storage shouldn't be as Riv-ish as your bike! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
