Hooks are good, I hang one of my bikes up from the front wheel with the Davinci? hook similar to the crc one above.

I also close off the brake levers by pulling them back towards the bars with elastic bands to stop air getting into the caliper.

You can get good pulleys for cheap as well if it's only one bike you've got to store, (and if you've got a big cupboard).

I just bought 6 of these, less than £12 for the lot! On a 3 for the price of 2 offer.

I think the trick isn't to hang the bikes but to alllow the bikes to sit on their rear wheels and the hook to stop the bike from falling backwards. That's how mine are anyway. Made up with them.
