Is it OK to hang a bike from one wheel?
According to Jim Langley, author of Your Home Bicycle Workshop, “it’s perfectly safe to hang most bicycles by one wheel. The only exceptions are bikes with specialty aero carbon rims that are so light the carbon will flex if you squeeze it by hand.”
Will hanging a bike by the rim damage it?
Does hanging bikes by wheel damage?
Hanging a bike up by its wheel is no problem at all. The wheel is designed to take loads far in excess of the weight of the bike. The only potential problem will be if the bike is held upright by the tyre and the tyre goes flat!
How do you put a bike on a bike rack?

Attach the clips to the top,bottom,and sides of the trunk. The clips hook into the spaces where the trunk actually separates from the car.
Tighten all straps so the rack is firmly in place.
Test the strength of the rack by shaking it side to side.
Pull up the bike arms and lock them into place.
How to make a simple bike rack (DIY)?
Carefully remove the wooden welding jigs.
Weld each joint fully. Because the rack is held together only with tack welds at this stage,the rack is not yet strong. Be careful.
Lay the bike rack flat on the ground.
Weld all of the joints that are horizontal and exposed.
Rotate the rack and repeat the process until all joints are fully welded.
