Hanging upside for storage
Opinions on hanging mtn bikes upside down when storing? Giant talon 2 and GT Laguna Pro, forks leaked on my old Gary Fisher being upside down. SR Suntour XCM and XCT forks we have now. By far would be most convenient but don’t wanna damage anything.

If the forks are leaking, it’s a seal issue.
Hang em high, hang em low.

Been doing it for years, sometimes with the bikes hanging for 12 months at time without ill effect. I work overseas and have bikes scattered about the planet.

Thanks everybody, I figure if they start leaking then I need to have service work done anyways so that’s where there at now. Appreciate the input
