And the ceiling panels have not been mudded over for the ceiling hooks. So it is easy to find the studs. I think you should ask the question on BROL or try a small hole 16in from wall. I have never used a stud finder so can not answer how it works. Also I think that some macrame holders/hooks have a special end that splays out when pushed through a hole. BTW, I use two hooks per hanging, instead of just one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-26907017009750208692007-08-08T13:43:00.000-06:002007-08-08T13:43:00.000-06:00Thanks, LazyI was thinking about mounting hooks ha...Thanks, Lazy<BR/><BR/>I was thinking about mounting hooks hanging one of the bikes in the storage room, but I wanted storage for both bikes that didn't involve hauling the bikes across the white carpet. <BR/><BR/>I like the idea of a rack that will hold multiple bikes. And one that I can move around and not commit to drilling holes (yah- I have commitment issues, especially when it comes to non-white walls). The local road bike shop offered to order a spring- loaded pole that rests on the ceiling and floor and hold 3 bikes, but he thought the price would run closer to 300$.<BR/><BR/>I am going to head over to MEC this evening. You are right, leaving the bikes on the balcony is plain mean. Even for my old mountain bike. They deserve better. In fact, maybe I will let my cross sleep with me in my bed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-75795557504060415742007-08-07T12:52:00.000-06:002007-08-07T12:52:00.000-06:00I'm a un-handy person so if this is a dumb questio...I'm a un-handy person so if this is a dumb question forgive me - do you need to find a particular spot in the ceiling to drill into - like a stud in the wall and if so will a stud finder work?Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-14392985161856648062007-08-07T12:04:00.000-06:002007-08-07T12:04:00.000-06:00Put some $2.xx rubber covered hooks in the ceiling...Put some $2.xx rubber covered hooks in the ceiling. It will leave a hole no bigger than what is left when some on hangs macrame. I have a bud here in Ottawa who has left his couch aways from the wall. He has put a runner on the floor, and keeps his Catrike Road there. He did sell his Burley Nomad to me because he did not want it taking up too much room, which BTW I hang in the garage over my Burley tandem. I do not see what the problem of hanging bicycles in an apartment is, as long as you close holes when you leave it is fine. This way you do not have to worry about your bicycle or parts being taken from some bike room.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647801.post-23894184920747176332007-08-07T10:15:00.000-06:002007-08-07T10:15:00.000-06:00That bike on the far right is sure a nice one!That bike on the far right is sure a nice one!Jeromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984978420642327867noreply@blogger.com
