I’ve been doing this for years, never had a problem

The bike supports your weight and goes over bumps. What do you think? 😂

The only time this is bad is if your rim is made with a shallow structural rim plus an aero fairing which I believe is still common on HED wheels but I don’t think Enve does it for any of theirs (most of the industry has gone away from this so it’s rarely a problem now).

Try adding some padding to the hook. Odds are good you will eventually scratch or chip the rim.

hope you got structure

Physics says yes. But I still cringe. At least spread out the load by cushioning that hook some. Take care of your gear and it will take care not of you.
Edit: I’ll add that yes the rim is made to take hits, but not necessarily from the inside. Hence my desire to spread the load on the inside. I didn’t engineer that nor have I seen any FEA on that composite geometry just a feeling as an engineer.

No, tri bikes are better stored at the medical or financial advisor office.

Its safe until you do a parking mistake 😉

Believe it or not, straight to jail.

I’m more worried about the car

The inner perimeter of the rim can be very thin material. If it doesn’t flex easily, it should be ok if you handle it gently. On another topic, for extended periods of time, it is not ideal to have the brake caliper higher than the lever piston. ( overnight, no issue, but trapped air could migrate into the system).

Someone told me not to hang bikes with hydraulic brakes upside down, but I do anyway.

That ceiling hook looks sketchy.

That hook could pull out of the dry wall. I wouldn’t do it.

Never liked hanging from a rim.
