Storage Hooks

My local Lidl has storage hooks in from Thursday. I was pleasantly
surprised by the accompanying picture:

for those that don't have a local Lidl, or if your local one doesnt
have the hooks (you have to enter your post code to see them), here's
the picture;

Tyler's hooks are great for hanging from the ceiling (or a beam or
otherwise vertically) but they don't work on the wall. Those bigger
hooks obviously work for unicycles on a wall.

The only downside of the "regular" hooks Tyler posted is that they
don't work with fat tires. I can jam my 29" onto a regular hook, but I
had to go out and find larger versions for my Coker and MUnis.

If you have the headroom, the easiest way to hang unicycles is upside
down. Only one hook necessary and it's easy to get them on & off
(unless you put the hooks too close together, which gets the pedals
always tangling on each other). In my experience, hanging unicycles
horizontally on the ceiling is always a pain, but can work if your
ceiling is low enough to easily reach up there, or for unicycles you
don't use much.

Iv'e been looking for a way to store unicycles in my garage for a while
as there are three lying arouind. I'd never thought of hanging them
upside down from one hook. Do you mean hooking it by the rim?

Thanks, I think I put a few too many in the video for most peoples
liking. In my next video I'm going to try doing some bigger stuff with
fewer crank stalls.

I'm rather lazy and a bit of a risk taker. I have three unis hanging
from the rafters in my garage and I use no hooks: I just put the front
of the seat over the rafter until the seat post hits the rafter and the
uni stays.

It's risky because if I bump against a wheel a uni could come crashing
down.

One day I'll install some hooks, but for the time being simply slipping
the seat over the rafter works great.

I just saw that too, I saw the price (£6.99) and the picture first and
then was disappointed that it was the hooks for sale not the uni!

Good recomendation jamessd. From going on this site Iv'e found that
other local unicyclists actually exist. I'm meeting up with some in
manchester next saturday. If you hadn't of left that comment on youtube
I'd still be in the dark.
