Storing Suspension Forks

[sam_white]

Has anyone got a good solution to storing forks? Not sure how many pairs spare I have, but something like 5/6 sets of Bombers with the steerer tubes attached and 4/5 sets of rigid forks, road and MTB (just moved house and they are all packed in boxes carefully wrapped).

Problem is that they're an odd shape, tall and thin so not many drawers or boxes fit them very well.
Anyone like to share their methods?

Cheers, Sam

I store odd shaped stuff in the garage rafters. Have surplus sheets of ply and mdf that live up there anyway. They straddle a couple of beams and no need to secure them. Nice and wide for storing things you don’t need access to all that often.

all my forks a laid over rafters, before that they lived over a bar in the loft with their legs hanging down.
I have 3 sets of Marzzzzzzzocccccchi forks 2 of which are bolt on legs, so I flipped the steerer and crown over so the steer hangs between the legs now, much more compact and easier to hide away.

I stored all mine in other people's houses, by flogging them on ebay.

I stored some upside-down once. It's one way to see if the seals leak, I suppose

If your Marzocchi's don't leak when they are upside down, they are probably empty.

Hang em from the rafters in the shed. Got some peg things with a wood screw thread on one side and a m6 on the other. Since all my forks are ahead and most have a star nut in there it works a treat for me.

Keeps them from leaking anyway!

Buy a few of these and hang them up by the bottom of the steerertube/crown.
