Sorry guys, I know its not the most interesting of topic but, is it ok to hang a full suspension mountain bike by a wheel? If so which is best the front or back wheel.

New to full suspension and have have always hung my hard tails by the rear tyre and never had any problems. Will this also be the case with a full suspension or not?

Mine has hung from the front wheel for the last 5 years when not in use. Never had a problem yet.

I do remember reading something in the handbook that came with my Kona about inverting the bike periodically (preferably not whilst riding) to allow the oil in the fork and shock to run down to the seals - both are Fox.

Don't think I ever do invert it until fixing or cleaning something, shock has been fine, fork required a service/re-seal after a couple of years or so but that could have been wear and tear

Wall bike hangars are designed specifically for this. Friend has a respectable number of bikes stored this way including a few full sussers. nay problem.
