Yes! This is a common concern for many bike owners with these types of brakes and suspension. When your bike is hung up vertically, the fluid in your forks will run towards the seals and keep them lubricated. This will prolong their use, so it's actually good for your bike and forks to hang it vertically on our bike racks. If you have hydraulic brakes on your bike the fluid will run down when the bike is hung, so we advise pumping the brakes a few times when you take the bike off the rack if it's been there for a while. The shocks shouldn't leak when the bike is hung up, however if they do it's a good indication that the seals may need replacing. Read our blog post for more information about storing bikes with hydraulic brakes in Steadyracks.

Hanging a bike in a Steadyrack will not cause any damage to your frame, forks or wheels. No part of the bike frame touches the rack, only the front tire, which is cradled in the steel arms.

It really depends on the width of your handlebars and the pedals. It will fold until the handlebars touch the wall but not quite 90 degrees or flat to the wall. For a normal road bike bar, we would allow about 400mm or around 16 inches, and for a MTB with wider bars probably around 1m or 39 inches (give or take).
