Looks like the same ones from work as well.

Same, they're cheaper on ebay

Mines tucked up in my cycling themed downstairs loo, along with other cycling related trinkets
Ah, so it's not just me that does that then.
4 of these used in my garage, great bit of kit would hold a 50mm deep section, but not a 90mm, as well as mountain bike (2.1" wide tyres)

I'll show you mine if you show me yours
I ordered one of those from Wiggle and it wouldn't hold the bike on the wall. Mounted the bike and it pulled it straight out. The 4 hole ones work fine.
I've 3 mounted to 18mm MDF and then fastened to the wall (single skin brick) with similar fixings and have hung 3 bikes without issue. One of them a very heavy & old disgrace for an excuse of a bicycle! (not mine
)

They look a little nicer but I dont think they'd be worth the extra over the other ones we linked.
I havnt properly used the ones I bought yet, I stuck 2 on the wall and test fitted a couple of bikes. They do work but that's not really a proper test yet. I quite like how the hook rotates as it'll fit other sized rims better.
Needs better screws than the pos that gone with it unsurprisingly.

What a glorious morning, can't beat the British weather!

You forgot the gale force winds too. NOT looking forward to the ride back home 
They're great tyres so if you like them stick with them. There are cheaper options that are good but I don't see the point in switching (despite me being a Pro4 fanboy) 
My Powertap C1 arrived yesterday but I had a long training course and didn't get back until 8.20pm so not fitted it yet.
Did an all out lap at ~320W to take the top of the OcUK leaderboard (but only 4 on there!
). Was 5th/4th fastest online at the time (someone dropped off) and that's probably the closest I'll ever come to a Zwift jersey when riding the system determined map/location.
Weirdly my Zwift didn't auto-upload the ride to Strava at the end so I manually added it from the .fit file. Weirdly now I seem to have a corrupted ride alongside my uploaded ride, but I cannot open the 'corrupted' ride as a separate entity (as it doesn't display or open as a different ride) to remove it. Just means I see doubled segment efforts.
He'll love it, beautiful bike!

Jumped on and couldn't miss the temptation of riding the Volcano for the first time so just chose laps of it, did a couple of lap efforts and the rest of it looking around (while watching some walking dead).

Edited for you.

Glad mostly ok, hope the driver wasn't too annoyed and no damage that side!
We have another power/weight thread with a load of peoples FTP in, wouldn't the two be better consolidated or are they separate subjects (one for details, one for advice)?
Awesome, but one of your bikes is the wrong brand!A few wall hooks and my garage bike storage is complete
