Recommendation on Vertical Wall Racks for Garage
I've searched as much as I could handle and found no good resources on best methods and products to store about 6 bikes (2 Road, 2 Hyrbid, 2 MTB) on the wall of my tall garage. Is this possible without damage to rims? Any recommended racks?

300mm apart, 1.9m off the ground, alternate up/down, and you can fit a pile of bikes into a small space.

Dahanger makes some pretty cool solutions. Jurgen and Stacy are great people and the racks are all made in the US. https://dahanger.co/

Yep, Just went to the hardware and bought a bunch of bike hangers. Don't get ones with folding hooks though, they always fold up just as you are about to hook the bike up.

Lots of good recommendations, but can you talk about your concern for rim damage?

Just want to make sure hanging this way doesn't ruin the wheels...but my concern probably doesn't make sense. Sitting on a bike is more than enough pressure. Hanging on it's own weight should be nuthin'

Similar to daHanger, but I used $4 hooks from Home Depot

The weight at this point on the wheel should be negligible. I've stored my bikes this way for years without any noticeable effect.
