Good evening,
Just looking for your opinions on whether it is harmful to the rim of a
road bike when the bike is hanging from a hook for storage?
I somehow have it in my head that it will cause the rim to become oval...
Hmmm.....

Hang it inside the black ozone hole, if you really care.

Just an FYI,
I drove lag screws through the rims on my bike. It will now be mounted on
my garage wall forever....
Case solved!

I tried this, and on arrival she was not nearly as pretty as the
picture in her sales brochure. In fact, I suspect she is the model's
grandmother. What was is not as what is. On the other hand, my wheels
remain round, I just paid too much.

This question, as Andrew mentioned above, comes out once a year or so.
Obnoxious posters in this group, including myself, jump at the
opportunity to get creative with responses. We are all secretly
competing to come up with the most absurd, craziest answer.

That's easy to work around. Just reverse the polarity of the neutron

Stand on your head when taking the measurements, it all works a treat then.

Would rigging the hanging bike so the wheels were spinning counteract
the reverse gravity fatigue? Distribute it along an a-b-normal curve?

Then reports of an enhanced gravity wave effect when you buy a Russian
Girl to spin the wheels in opposite directions. All night long. The ad

This is nonsense.
How about the little-known phenomenon of reverse gravity fatigue?
If you reverse the gravity of a material designed to take weight, by
hanging it, you can get complex intermolecular interactions which
result in micro-crystallisation in a process which in German is known
as
Zupfleutzingenheit (don't know the English), and poof!!. First ride,
bike disintegrates.

Even the static load of an 80-100km rider sitting on a 10kg bike at
the traffic lights places more weight on each wheel than hanging the
10kg bike by one wheel.

You are right. However, after a few rides, the wheels will go back to
normal. On the other hand, if you keep riding your bike and you never
hang it upside down the wheels will also go oval. So, you need to
alternate to find the right balance.
I know that there is a formula for figuring out the right balance. I
don't remember it cause I am not an engineer or a physicist. I believe
that it is the time on bike x bicycle weight x rider weight should
equal time hanging from hooks x bicycle weight x gravity pool. Once
you have the components, you solve the equation for time hanging from
hooks and you'll know how long you should hang it. It is something
like that. I'm sure that the engineers will correct me if I am wrong.

Great answers! I don't plan on putting my bike away for quite some time..and
then I will resort to roller training for the winter. My oldest son left for
Iraq last week and my youngest left for college. I need to store their bikes
until they are needed again. Just wanted to make sure to do it right as I
have not usually let a bike sit too long. My biggest problem is that I have
lost my two riding partners.

Good luck to you and yours as your family disperses around the globe.
For long-term bike storage, the issue isn't the hooks, but the
proverbial "cool dry place". That's what you want. Also watch out for
ozone from the deep freeze compressor or other electric motors (some
people have 'em in their garage). Ozone eats rubber.

The standard unwritten protocol here at r.b.t. is to ask this in late
autumn as the snow begins to fly (sort of our 'secret handshake' as it
were). But we can get the jump on this winter 2007~2008 question early.
The static load of your 20 pound bike on one wheel is nothing compared
to the mass of bike-plus-pilot hitting all manner of road anomalies at
speed on that same rim. Hang with impunity! Keeps your bike off the
floor, where 'being underfoot' can be hard on the paint.
