I need to store a bike in my apartment, and this looks like a great solution:

I realize storing hydraulic disc brakes upside-down is often problematic, but has anyone tried storing a bike with them vertically, like in the photo at that link? The front caliper and cylinder are at about the same level, and the rear caliper is still far beneath the cylinder, so it seems viable. I have Juicy 3's, FWIW.

It's only a problem if they're not bled right to begin with. If your bleed is ok there's nothing wrong with it at all.
