NEZ: Fuzz is on the money with the measurements. I thought I could hang bikes alternating nose up-ass up to save space. But the big thing is that when you are taking the bikes down, your grip is awkward. The instant the bike is off the hook, it's hitting the ground whether it's snagged on its neighbor or not.
Shantz: you forgot to mention one major con of doing your own work. It's having to buy a new stankin tool every time a new standard is released (anyone want a threaded BB tool real cheap, btw?). I initially thought I could get away with a $120 Jenson house brand starter set... then came the bearing pullers for pivots, bleed kits for DOT, mineral oil for shimano and magura, 4 different weights of suspension oils/associated seals and slick honey type stuff, the claw thing to set your headset cup.... I personally am at a point where I'd rather take it in than buy the CEO of park tool another benzo.
