So my bike is semi-permanently mounted to the Kickr setup and my wheels are sitting against the wall taking up space. I want to mount the wheels to my wall parallel to the wall. There are lots of options for hanging normal carbon fairing wheels but I haven’t found much for mounting a full carbon disc wheel. I’ve tried looking for a three point mount with two points on the bottom supporting the wheel from below and something on the top to keep it from tipping forward, but this seems silly and a solved problem, or at least a product out there that covers this need. The closest option I found is a thru-axle mount for MTB wheels, but my bike isn’t a disc-brake so the through axle would not fit. Any ideas?
I use these:

I can mount any wheel on them. I have gravel wheels, 404’s and 808’s and even a Zipp disc.
For the disc I drilled a hole in the bottom of the hook part to allow the valve stem to slide into it so don’t even need to take the tube out.
It’s tight on the disc wheel valve opening but does fit the Zipp. Other disc’s might not.
Cheers

I came across these earlier today, thanks for sending. The issue with my disc wheel is there is not cutout for the stem. It’s solid carbon on either side. I might get this hook for my standard wheels though.
I used a stem and bars on a plaque. Would need to reconfigure a bit for a disc. Bike shops use something like this: https://fixturelab.com/5672-2/
Ah ok. That would be an issue.
If there is no cut out then how do you pump it, out of interest?
You should drop him a line and see if he can come up with something for you.
He has always been happy to help and approachable when I have contacted him.
Good luck with your search.

This is what i use for my disc

both will work great for what you are looking for
not sure why the hyperlink isnt working?
and i guess i should have read your post better, if you are looking for something parallel when just a shelf that is deep enough where you can lean the wheel back on the wall should work just fine. i do like the handlebars that the other guy posted. looks slick.

I have the Premier Tactical bike with the included rear disc: https://www.premierbike.com/products/80-cm-deep-carbon-clincher-front-wheel
There’s a carve out where the stem sticks out but it doesn’t go through the entire wheel.
Understood.
You could bay be still hook it with the foothill but you would need to add some protection to the edges for sure.

I have my race wheels in wheel bags that are just hung from a wall hook. It helps keep them from getting any dirt/grease on the floor/wall, and keeps them from getting dust/cobwebs in the off season.
