Cons: Each size is specific to a range of tyre widths, possible issue with deflating tyres over time, price The design depends on an amount of bulge in the tyre compared to the rim – a 'lightbulb' profile – for the Clug to grip. So if you are running 23mm tyres on a 23mm rim, it possibly won't have enough rubber to hang on to. I have three of these. Two mountain bike size and one road bike size. I can only add - make sure you have a good wall to attach it to, mine is a crunmbling old mess, and one of the units just pulled itslef out of the wall when I tugged on the bike to release it. Otherwise, cheap functionally perfect. printers are for prototyping and very complex pieces but they will never be as fast at manufacturing as injection moulding or forging and by their nature can't produce smooth surfaces.

I have two of these - instead of fixing directly to plasterboard I used a strip of painted wood with multiple plasterboard specific fixings then screwed these into that. Avoids any chance of pull-out. If you’re using this for long term storage then when you mount the Clug screw a strip of Velcro in behind and use that to wrap around the rim once the wheel is in the Clug. I thought initially that a toe-strap was the ideal answer, but then it dawned on me that you could do away with the Clug altogether and just screw a toestrap to the wall with apropriate penny washers, and have pretty much the same result. Maybe it would be a bit floppy from side-to-side I suppose though. What's wrong with a hook, you say? The problem with ceiling hooks is that they need to go into something as well, and unless they are supporting the entire weight of the bike they won't hold the wheel solidly, so bikes can swing around. With the rear wheel on the floor, the Clug is only bearing a bike load of a few hundred grams to keep it vertical/horizontal. The removal transient force approximates the weight of hanging a 7kg bike from a ceiling-mounted Clug. In other words, you can insert a 1-2kg wheel complete with tyre into a clug and it will stay put indefinitely – a good solution for storing a turbo wheel, or a spare set for different uses, like gravel riding or Sunday best.

No, the Clug won't be for everyone, for every application. That's the beauty of cycling being a very broad church – there's room for innovation and specificity all over the shop. If the Clug looks like it will meet your needs, you won't be disappointed. Verdict an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product

One thing to note: the size of the Clug refers to actual tyre size, not simply stated tyre size, so it's important to actually measure yours as this can vary greatly depending on the width of the rim and the brand of the tyre. A Clug can accommodate pretty much all adult wheelbases – a very small person's time trial bike paired with a strapping six-plus-footer partner's extra-large 700C audax machine will be fine, as Clug states a 'working range' of up to 8ft.
