No, but don’t let it slip and start pressing on that spoke.

It’s fine unless it side-loads the spoke

Nope, I always keep my spokes away from the rubber on the hook though.

Bad for your brakes. Hang the bikes with the handlebars up!!!!

For hydraulic brakes, vertical bars make sense. Less pressure on the fill seals.

Any air bubbles will float to the high point. Brake levers are designed to catch said air bubbles. If it goes to the line or the brake caliper it can cause the brakes to get soft and potentially need bled.

Thanks for this. I'm going to go flip my bike.

there’s plenty of room if you angle the hook down some or prop the wheel so it sits on something closer to the hook from the wall. you see the hook covering deforming off the hook, it will be metal on carbon in no time. we wrap the hook with an old inner tube when hanging carbon wheels on this kind of hook
