I used the block-and-tackle type shown by Marc with a tandem for 5

I have tall ceilings in my garage, and had both a bike storage and a
camping equipment storage problem to solve. I built this 4' x 8'
shelf hanging from the rafters, anchored from the wall, 7'6" high.
All the camping gear goes on top, and nine bike hooks hang below. So
far I'm very pleased with t
Love this idea, I am totally going to do that for a project soon. I
may just shellack them too!

15 feet, and i have a rafter that comes down a foot or two that i have
the hooks in, and I am 6'3. The bikes are too high for my 5'8 SO
Just an FYI, over time the rubber on those J hooks wears off, exposing the
steel. It will start marring your rims cosmetically over time. Not the

I'm happy with the inexpensive pulley type system such as the Racor

bike up to hang it on the hooks.
Works for me, and haven't had any problems with wheels be
