Storing wheels?
Any pics showing how you store extra wheels? Just starting a cycling man cave, so any pointers there too would be of great help.

Whatever you do - don't hang 'em from a hook.

I prefer willy-nilly in the basement and shed, gathering spiderwebs & dust.

I've got all of my wheels leaning up against a wall in a closet.

These longer hooks would allow you to store multiple sets of wheels with less wall space.

I'd be afraid that if I ever attempted to sort out the plethora of spare wheels scattered about my garage that it might disrupt the smooth inner workings of the universe. So I just leave them be.

Whatever you do, make sure you store them out of direct sunlight and at proper humidity levels.
