[RBW] Re: vertical/wall-mount bike hanging hook for fat tire bikes?

[Bill Lindsay]

If you already have them, I would recommend bending it to accommodate your 
tire.  Buy a can of plasti-dip if you end up sacrificing the rubberized 
covering.  

The first bend I would consider would be pulling the hook more 
perpendicular to the wall.  Like this one:  different hook 


At the angle you show, I imagine with fat tires, that hook would get 
tangled up with the adjacent spokes.  Having the hook a lot more 
perpendicular to the wall would make it more parallel with the spokes, 
making spoke interference less of an issue.
