Looking to hang your fat tire bikes in the garage? The simplest, yet effective method of bike storage is the use of wall or ceiling mounted hook, which is generally done to hang a bike vertically by a wheel. The most common hook used is designed to thread directly into wood walls, frames or studs. Park Tool has always provided bike storage hook options to bike shops and consumers and the Threaded Storage Hook has been the most popular with consumers. Now Park offers this 471XX Oversize Threaded Storage Hook, which is capable of accommodating fat tire bikes.

The 471XX Oversize has a larger hook shape with 4-7/8" max width within the hook zone, ideally for tires up to about 4". The inside depth of the hook is 7.25", so side access is very reasonable when positioning for hanging. Park coats the steel hook with a durable vinyl that will help protect your rim finish and structure. The threaded zone is not covered, and the wood screw thread is nominally 11.4mm outside diameter (15/32"), with 7 threads per inch. The best way to thread the hook into a wood surface is to use a minimum of 11/32" drill bit size to drill a pilot hole. Then, depending on the hardness of the wood, you can generally turn the hook by hand.
