Store carbon bike
This is my first carbon bike. Can i store the bike hung from rear wheel safely? Also, will it be okay stored in unheated interior closet? Thanks in advance for any responses.

My Ridley stays in our garage in Tucson where it probably sees 120+ in the summer.
No problems in almost 5 yrs.

Your fine, store it like anything else. Just make sure you always do a spring lite tune up. but you should do that to any bike so nothing new here. I store mine in my basement hanging from the trusses. I keep my carbon bike and my other daily rider not carbon stored this way all winter and never an issue.
I keep another bike on the trainer all year round and my winter bike I store during the summer just like a rotation deal.
