I thought this was worth a thread, as sorting out the bike fettling area is all part of the game right! Tip tricks and pics are welcome! Any ingenious home brew additions to the workshop would be cool to see. So I need to spend a bit of time sorting out the bike cave. Ive got my tool rack sorted out using some of this https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gravi ... f&tbm=isch which works well mixed with magnetic tool storage attached by tip ties. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=magne ... 12&bih=876 Ive got the bike stored on the wall using one of these https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gravi ... 12&bih=876 which also works great Stuff to do.. any tips welcome > I need to find a good way of storing tyres and wheel. I have a few ideas so will update soon. Any ideas welcome > Stopping lube and stuff getting all over the floor... maybe a mat for the bike stand or such like. > Keen to pick up a compressor for tubeless tyre action. |

Tyres and wheel - cable ties hanging from a hook. Bike Hook I wouldn't buy one of these again, holes were drilled with right size drill bit just couldn't hold weight! Top bolt popped out with a bit of brick, Bike lock saved bike from hitting ground.  Link should image not show Wall Mounted Foldable Bicycle |

 A panoramic of the messy cave at the moment, been a touch busy of late.  Wheel sets hang on a bike rack attached to the wall.  Bikes hang by saddle over computer and tool box area freeing up some space. Hand Tools on magnetic strips  Work bench and how the 29er tyres hang up on bungies, the 26" tyres are below in a box being unloved

I have my tools in a roller cab, tyres are on a hanging basket bracket My spicy is locked to a hoop bolted into the floor. My road bikes are hooked on the rafters by the saddle. I need to get some horizontal bike holders for the road bikes to keep them out of the way |

This is my humble little workshop. Keen to learn how to maintain my bikes properly this year! Amazing how the parts start to mount up, even after selling quite a lot!
