Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Hung my bike by the rim on this bike rack in my office. However the chain ring rests against the bar at the bottom, and the bottom tire isn't resting on anything. Will this damage my bike? by ken81987 Bicycling Bike Bike Commuting Biking Commuting Cycling
