We have plaster walls and dealing with wall anchors is a pain. Has any one hung their spare bike wheels from a command hook? Any suggestions? I’m thinking a strong command hook with a loop of cord joining the wheel. I think I need the cord because I fear that the sweep of the hook on the command hook is not enough to accommodate the hubs. ---

Not sure if Command hooks will be strong enough but I do use rope and a carabiner to hang my wheels. It’s in a storage closet and the walls are insulated, so I drove nails into the wood beams near the ceiling and hung the tires. Not classy but effective. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/a/5/a576064141c3cca38ea76ca8a9cbc03d2bf9467c.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/a/1/a186398163d1d5d325a7c29b753e20b1e8fce94d.jpeg) ---

J hooks that screw into a stud are how i hang spare wheels, and bikes for that matter. Just make sure you’re going into a wood stud and make sure that the J hook you get is rubberized and the right size for the depth of your wheel ---

Yeah, big screws like that don’t work well on plaster. I’m going to try the command jumbo hook, rated for 7.5 lbs. ---

No way I’d use a command hook for something valuable. Anchors may be a pain, but they’re the right answer for something like this. ---

Not to be an anarchist, but we want to see before, and after pics! Hopefully still hanging in a week, month, 2 months…or find a stud. Could always evaluate a toggle bolt anchor. ---

Yeah I’m going to try it. We’ll see how it goes. ---

Wheel bags (double) are about £10, bit bulkier but usually keeps them out of harms way.
