Re: [RBW] Bike Hoist recommendation needed

[Roberta]

Ok, finally I found a handyman to help me install this and some other to-do 
jobs, so I'm ready to purchase.  

Is this still "the bomb?"  this is to hang my bike high in a narrow (3') 
hallway.

Re: [RBW] Bike Hoist recommendation needed

[Gina]

Hello, all!
I'm getting ready to receive my new Clem from the bike mechanic and trying 
to think through storage solutions in the garage. I searched the group and 
found this thread which has shown me something that I didn't know was 
possible but looks like the perfect solution for me so I wanted to see if 
anyone had purchased  the Tie Boss and could provide any feedback on its 
utility. Many thanks in advance!

 I was thinking of getting a bike hoist system for the top bike to

 saddle.  I could just see it poking holes thru my Brooks B68. Another 
 option is to just use the hoist system to get the bike to the hooks on the

 Does anyone have recommendations for a hoist that doesn't hook to the 
 saddle?  I do not have any other room other than parallel to the wall to 
 put the bikes.  I am not strong enough to lift the bikes to a ceiling 
 hook.  Not enough room to have them perpendicular to the wall with hooks.

 Bikes are anywhere from 28-35 pounds loaded and each gets ridden at 
 least once a week.  Budget is $50-100, but would spend more for a great 
 solution.  (Right now, my "top" bike is parked in my living room.).  I 
 have 
 one A Homer Hilsen (most likely for top position since its a diamond 
 frame) 
 Platypus mixte and another grocery getter/commuter mixte.

 Thanks,
 Roberta

Re: [RBW] Bike Hoist recommendation needed

[Roberta]

Or, perhaps Laing's suggest is a great one--hook around tire rims on both 
front and back...

I know accounting software...not so good at physics.

Re: [RBW] Bike Hoist recommendation needed

[Roberta]

Wow, such positive feedback on this item!  To me, all these pulley items 
looked the same.  I could put one around my stem and one on the seatpost or 
that area where all the tubes meet at the top of the seatpost.  Or wherever 
the group suggests.  Strength is not my strength and I'll need to pull and 
lower the bike by myself.  I'm looking forward to finding that video.  I 
did see some pictures.

Laing, I never thought of hooking it somewhere else (knock me on the 
forehead)! perhaps higher than the tire suggestion, like on the 
toptube/seat tub intersection so all the weight is below that point.

I'll be having an handyman install it, but I have to let him know what to 
install.
