Subject: RE: Bike Storage OptionsI assume you are referring to the rear brake cable that runs underneath the top tube. No, having the weight of the bike on it will not hurt that cable. Even if the cable gets kinked in that location, it would be unlikely that the function of the brake would be affected (although I would avoid that if possible as the likelihood that the cable breaks increases ). I hang my road bike in that fashion and it has never even indicated that any wear is taking place. I guess you could make an argument that over time it would stretch the cable if it placed significant pressure on it, but I don't think it's enough to worry about. |
