Road Bike Parts For Sale

What is the best way to store a racing road bike?

I just bought my first road racer. After years of riding mountain bikes and just hanging them upside down (by the wheels) from the ceiling (with no apparent bad effect), I was wondering if there is any reason I shouldn't do this with my racing bike. It has Mavic open pro rims, a steel frame, and the whole thing weighs about 18lbs.

As long as you keep the bike dry it will be fine. You might want to lube the chain and cables before you store it. It won't hurt the bike to be hung up.. its how they are stored at bike shops. In fact is actually the preferred method because as your tire looses air (and it will) the rim won't be sitting on the tire.
