I use Lifeline wall racks for 26", 27.5", 29" & 700c wheels all successfully. MTBs have been used with a variety of tyre sizes, from 2.1 Trail kings to 2.35 Hans Dampfs.
I did enlarge the screwholes to accept M8 rawlbolts rather than the rather small screws included, just to be sure they stay attached to the wall. Bikes weigh up to about 32lbs.

These are monster hooks:

They're £3.50 each but they are twice the size of any other hook I've ever seen.

Old car boot cycle rack from a car boot sale screwed to the wall works well, it'll have the straps or bungie cord fixings in place already.

I use these
http://www.screwfix.com/p/hooks-black-mm/25264?cm_sp=Search-_-SearchRec-_-Area2&_requestid=291918
Basically the same as the homebase ones. Nice and gig easily take a 2.5 tyre.
I fixed a 25mm board to the wall and screwed the hooks into that. Front wheel hooked at 45 deg and rear wheel on the ground.
