Squasher asked if suspending the bike upside down was bad for the fork. It turned out there's no problems...
My complementary question is: "Is it alright to suspend the bike on the ceiling with the front wheel only for several months". i.e.: can there be a long term negative effect for the fork? My bike would not move for a 4-5 months (criss d'hiver Québécois...ooops) No wonder MMike and Acadian don't live near here anymore. How many of you would be willing not to ride AT ALL for 5 month? And to ride at temperatures below 10C for another 2 months? (ok I'm goin' off topic...maybe I should start a new thread on that)
Back to my question: I know bike shops suspend bikes like that all the time...but is it ok?
If this can change anything, my bike is a sub-30 pounder.
Thanks!
