Your credit rating may be affected which will make it more difficult or more expensive for you to obtain credit in the future. One thing to bear in mind, you’ll need to be able to get hold of the Fidlock winch to feed it through the wheel, and if space is tight it can be tricky (even more so if your wheels have high spoke counts). Maybe experiment with height to get a good-enough hold below the hard mudguard on the exposed wheel section. 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. without employing the Fidlock there was lots of movement within the gripper, allowing the bike to move slightly both fore/back and sideways.

The original Clug does a great job of holding a tyre, but it's not foolproof – if a bike gets knocked the wheel could be pulled out, or if a tubeless tyre or latex tube loses air the wheel could end up falling out of the Clug. Hornit says the Clug Pro is able to hold 30kg, but this is referring to the magnetic strength of the Fidlock, not the Clug's ability to hold that weight off the ground.

At the wider end, initial fit is a little trickier and needs more persuasion to get the tyre into the Clug. For horizontal use, a mudguard protruding below the centreline of the wheel might cause issues – a soft flap should be fine, a plastic or metal guard would be likely to jam or bend. This time it took 55N of force to pull the bike free - so for a halving of PSI, the force required dropped by 15%.

The Fidlock function adds cost on top of the standard Clug, but for many, the extra security and reassurance this provides will be worth it. Those of you owning bikes weighing less than 7kg are explicitly advised not to try to use the Clug like a ceiling hook. Would using one of these on the front whel and also one on the rear wheel holding the bike slightly off the ground work? Obviously something based on tyre size is going to need to accommodate a wide range of widths, so the Clug comes in three sizes: Roadie (23-32mm), Hybrid (33-42mm) and MTB (43-62mm/1. 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.I've used the Roadie version with multiple different bikes and tyres, all above 30mm actual width and close to but below the upper limit of 32mm. I have two of these set up in the kitchen of my (very small) flat - they're great bits of kit, and keep two bikes up really well.
