Hi all,
Over the years I have aquired several wheelsets and need to know the
best way to store them when not in use. I see bike shops hang wheels
but is this the best way? Most of the wheels I have will be used a few
times a year. Thanks to all who help.
Cheers,

Seems like the best way to me, if you have the rafter space. It's
certainly not going to do any damage to them, if that's what you're
wondering. Bikes are hung by their wheels all the time without hurting
them, so just the wheels by themselves will be fine. The biggest thing
I'd be concerned about is ozone damaging vintage skinwall tires, but
modern blackwalls are mostly immune to that.
