Introduction
Hanging your bike on the wall is the ideal solution to save space and enhance your interior. But many cyclists hesitate for fear of damaging their walls—especially when renting. Good news: with the right tools and supports, it's entirely possible without leaving a trace.
Choosing the right type of fastener
Everything depends on the nature of your wall:
- Concrete or brick wall: expansion anchor fastening. Very strong, ideal for permanent support.
- Plasterboard wall: toggle anchor or stud mounting. Check the maximum load.
- Tenant: opt for reversible fasteners or self-supporting racks.
Steps for a clean installation
- Locate studs or solid areas of the wall with a detector.
- Mark the fastening points with a pencil.
- Drill with a drill bit suitable for the material.
- Insert the anchors and screw on the support.
- Check for sturdiness before hanging the bike.
Tips for not damaging the wall
- Use a drilling template to avoid positioning errors.
- Choose quality screws suitable for the load.
- Place a washer between the screw head and the support to distribute pressure.
- When moving, holes can be easily filled with plaster.
