Any issues with bike weight on derailleur cables in rack/stand?

If anything, be worried about the paint on your bike. Put some clear vinyl tape on the frame where the cables make contact.

The bike isn't heavy enough to damage cable, crimp a hydro brake line or flatten housing.

Good to know. Thanks, Nate.

2nd that. My bikes are stored sitting on the cables, so it will be fine :thumbsup:

Yep, good advice. If you care about your paint though, be careful to protect it.

If you don't want to put tape on the frame, consider vinyl coating the bare wires. Next time you replace the wires, slip plastic spaghetti (vinyl tubing) over the wire, cutting is slightly shorter than the gap so it can move with the wire not touching either end.

Spaghetti is available wherever electronic stuff is sold, and comes either as slip on or heat shrink, in a variety of colors. It works far better than the donuts folks are using.
