Hey George,
While I do not have the wall mount (mine's going on a very heavy work
bench; bench-top height of 32), I would recommend mounting it at the same
height you find most comfortable with your stand-alone bike stand.

I would think, if you're wanting it to handle torque, you want it up at
'working level', where you can get to it; maybe having the BB at
belt-buckle level, perhaps?
