Our basement is over-run with bikes, and especially wheels I'm building a wall mounted bike
storage rack for the bikes but I's stumped as to what to do with all the extra/spare wheels and
rims. I need a way to get them up out of the way and to store tha maximum # of wheels in the
smallest amount of space.

The wife's car's trunk?

Do something similar to the car tire shops...

Run two lengths of pipe along the wall you want to store the tires/rims. Space them far enough apart
as to cradle tires/rims.

Go to local home store, Home depot or Lowes, and get pipe and 4 - 90 degree turns and make a
rectangle and suspend/hang it from the ceiling joists or run the pipe from wall to wall and attach
it right to those walls.

Then stack all those extras upright in the rack. Then go upstairs and have a beer and watch some
football 🙂

Throw all the crappy ones away and send all the others to me ;-)

I hang 'em on vinyl coated hooks, which are placed about 4" apart along a joist.

A majority of our bikes are on homemade wall mounted racks, it keeps them out of the way and
keeps them from falling over. As for our collection of wheels, we have them on wall hooks,
neatly arranged.

I hate football.. Never even liked it when I played it in H.S. Same with hockey, even though I
was damned good at both I hated them. (6 feet tall and a "buff" 180lbs @17 years old, and a
fast sprinter)

Lacrosse, on the other hand, now THAT is a sport I LOVED.

How about a whole-garge shot? My wife occasionally complains about the three bikes I have now and
maybe I can show her a picture to illustrate how lucky she
is....that is before I hang my soon-to-be-delivered (?) hard-tail.

John......Why are you selling the Xterra? I just started looking at replacing my '87 Toyota 4x4 and
was considering the Xterra. What do you think of it?

Thanks.

HAH! not likely.. it's a friggin' MESS..... besides my basement is mostly a woodshop which has been
over-run by bikes and several sets of volvo tires and the 31" offroading wheels for the XTerra.

Bruce said:

It is paid in full, and we hold the title.... The mortgage is NOT I'm unemployed, and the proceeds
from the sale of the XTerra could pay our motgage for a year or more.

WE Love it!

I'll give you a SWEET deal on ours..... 2000 model, only 40K miles, stock aluminum step rails
replaced with custom 3/8" steel rock sliders, Wet Okole neoprene seat covers front and rear,
Raingler interior X-Net, spare set of Interco Trxus 31's w/ plenty of tread left...... etc.
