How important is it to store your bike with the tires elevated off of the ground.

 

It's not. That's just one of the things that **** people think they need to do.

 

+1, my bike is almost 11 years old and during the winter it is parked on a cement floor in my garage and I haven't had any issues yet.

 

Winter storage? Whats that ??

 

Perfect answer! LOL, however we just moved from MN to FL.....no more worries about storage or flat spots on tires.

 

Well ...depending on how much moisture/humidity you have in the air in your tires, there is a possibility that they could freeze and not thaw before your first spring ride yielding a most uncomfortable ride. However, after the first stop for a "refreshment" the "problem" will correct itself. Trust me. Would I lie to you.

 

I have a lift, like prob most people. I would store it up on the lift, a little off the ground. Thats what Im gonna do.

 

When you lift the rear tire off the ground, the belt becomes stretched over a period of time because of the constant tension on it.

Replacing 2 tires is less expensive than replacing 1 belt.

 

Most people are NOT storing their bikes up on their lifts or jacks. It's not necessary. Really!

 

I plan to move mine a few inches every week or 2.
