Are these hangers good? First time seeing them
(hexbear.net)
At least it's in a stud I guess
My worry is the unusual pulling force on the pedal. I don't have a fancy bike anyways but just in case wanted to ask since first time seeing them
It would be less torque than what you get just standing on the pedal at the bottom. Much less someone pedalling very hard, such as from a stop at a red light. Not like the bike is going to be perfectly vertical in those conditions either.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Vector shown is how you screw on pedals anways give or take 10-20° and the bolt and thread is pretty chonky. Imagine laying your bike flat on the ground, standing on it and trying to yank a pedal clean off, not happening.
The crank arm would worry me slightly more but then only if it's lightweight aluminum built and prone to breaking in half like some of the shimano duramax series. If you're riding proletarian heavy ass cast aluminium block stuff don't worry about it. The bolts can take it, too, again very chonky and those tend to be a PITA to come off if you want them to.
That's just a still frame of a bike doing some sick parkour moves.
that seems pretty solid but it's a bit rude to anyone else using that hallway
no one else uses that hallway right
you gotta remember that bikes are absurdly light, so they can cope with real bullshit condiditions that'd be fucked for other vehicles
It's gonna be the back of a park space for a car, so my biggest fear is either the screws or the pedal loosing themselves and the bike hitting the back of the car probably breaking the back window.
It sounds like a stupid fear, but in the last garage, the bike rack screws loose and my bike ended in the floor (not hitting anything expensive luckly) at least three times. It was a brick wall and I don't know who was the idiot fixing the bike racks to it but it worries me I become that idiot, but c'mon how hard can it fucking be?
if you're worried about falling on the car maybe you oughta perch it directly on the car if practicable
if you don't do it right it can be hard to solidly screw into masonry.
If your new place has solid wood to screw into I wouldn't worry about it much.
Nope, it's 40 yo masonry, classical type of brick, those solid small orange ones made of cooked mud
ah
the right size masonry bit, screws, and plastic sleeve anchors to grip the hole in the brick might do it, but the metal style anchors are much stronger if you're worried about it coming loose. either beefy masonry screw anchors or the expanding metal sleeve kind
Yeah I'm gonna exaggerate just in case
