Thanks ggg.. might have a go with some chunky masonry raws to start with and if that doesn't work look at the resin fixes.

Nice vid, some good ideas. If i am changing gear cables i tend to use the existing one as my guide though, much quicker. Just pull the internal out, leaving the housing in the frame, then push your new internal through. Once it is in pull the external out, leaving the internal in the frame and push the new one over it, job done. Don't forget to oil/grease/lube your cables when you fit them for super smooth shifting. Brakes and stealth droppers are a whole different beast, but that connector idea is great in the vid.

I am in the process of converting my girlfriends garage... I am not sure she realises what she has agreed to! Need to get some peg boards and speakers!! Creating space is key... Lots of S hooks for wheels and shelves for stuff... Building little garages for silly things like lawnmowers to create more table like space on top. That and clothes rails for muddy bike stuff

i have these type bike holders for a couple of my bikes and i find they handily double as rails to hang damp or sweaty riding gear on coat hangers.

Incidentally i trimmed and re-drilled mine to get the bikes closer to the wall so as to take up less space in the garage too.

Hmmm they look promising - do you know where you got them/what make they were?

Most of the ones I've seen seem to have a fairly short 'arm' part so I always figured that the width of the handlebars wouldn't let the bike frame sit in the holder part 'squarely'.

I just have simple hook device hangs front tyre. Works a treat, they're about £4 off inter web shops.

They are just off eBay no brand.
They are fine with most width bars.
For the wide ones you can just tweak the bars slightly
