I was looking for a wall mount to save some space and store my Rose Backroad FF on my bedroom wall. After doing some research, I found that you shouldn’t hang it directly by the rims or frame, as that can cause dents or even slight bending over time.
Do you guys have any good solutions you’re using? I’m considering getting this one here.

I use the wall hangers that hold the pedal. Search for “Da-Hanger” and you’ll see them. I specifically have the “Wallman 3-pack pedal hangers”.

Where have you heard that you can’t hang a carbon bike?
The only main issue I’m aware of is clamping carbon frames in work stands, it’s best to clamp the seat post.
But I can’t imagine a carbon bike will have any issue being hung up, after all most of them are capable of supporting up to 110-125kg of human, and a gravel bike will be expected to do that off road on rough terrain.
Carbon is stronger than aluminium in a lot of ways, it’s not play-doh.

Does not contact frame or rims
I’ve been using something like this for years – [https://www.steadyrack.com/products/classic-road-bike-rack?currency=USD](https://www.steadyrack.com/products/classic-road-bike-rack?currency=USD)
Buy some big rubber coated hooks from Hone Depot and:
1 Screw them into a stud
2 hang bike by front/rear wheel
3 worry about something else
I’ve been hanging my Bianchi on my wall for the past 5 years using this exact mount : no issues at all. [Wall Mount](https://a.co/d/3RRlRu6)
Regular hook would be fine too
Carbon can neither dent nor bend. That’s one of the selling points! It can crack or break with enough impact, but hanging a bicycle under its own weight won’t hurt anything. You just need to be gentle, or ensure the hooks are padded to protect the contact points with the bike.
I like my steady-racks.
If you have access to a 3d printer, I use something like [this](https://www.printables.com/model/499062-bike-wall-mount). I’ve had one in my garage for the past 2 years without any issues.
Steady Rack, or the velocirax that is similar to the one you posted here but it contacts the pedal instead of the frame
