Hydraulic bikes that I hang this way don't like to be hung with the levers pointed down. Air creeps into the system. Levers up has never caused a problem. Levers down has led me to have to bleed the brakes to fix them. Road and mtb levers.
Hmmm... sounds like steep descents could cause braking problems..
