Post by: LXIX on February 22, 2007, 06:06 PM: i have found the best way is with some chrome chain ,put ome hooks in the cross beams in the roof and drop some chrome chain ,you can then take out links to get the desired effect :daumenhoch:

modify the wall side pedal so it also accepts a prong

Post by: brass monkey! on February 23, 2007, 12:39 PM: already tried to hang bikes on the wall, but the wife says it's a no-no ! :(

i was gonna use some large hooks, that i saw in Wickes, they're about £9 for 2, and have foam to protect the frame...!

Post by: yoda on February 23, 2007, 02:08 PM: Ok here goes:- Approach wall with moderate speed from about a 45 degree angle......as you get within half a meter pull on bars and lean back keeping your eye on the wall all the time....as your about to make contact hop up and ride the the wall......spot your landing and dont forget to pull away as you come down.....as you land compress and soak the landing.....ride away looking cool! Oh yeah make sure your lass does'nt see you cos she'll kick your arse for riding your bike in the dining room :daumenhoch: sorry mate couldnt help myself.

Post by: Jonnyboy bmx on February 23, 2007, 11:02 PM: Or like this, just a adjustable strap atatched to the wall then round the seat post and a beam of wood. You could paint the beam the same colour as your wall for extra neatness :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: NathanRelton on February 24, 2007, 09:00 PM: Thanks guys, got rid of wife due to lack of TA on wall. New girlfriend is still on her three month probation so she is very accommodating at the moment....eh....eh!!! Like the idea of mounting the wall whilst riding will try that later. Will post a pic when finished. Thanks again. Peace and love.

Post by: SaMAlex on February 26, 2007, 09:35 AM: the bike used to be on his wall when he lived at home. His brother had the back half of the bike on his wall, in the room next door. Might have just been easier to put a hole in the wall!
