Bike racks, bike suspended or supported?

[Donamici]

Have always used a two bar mounted Maypole scissor rack. Never an issue with a 15kg bike, but concerned that having 25kg hanging off it will be too much stress on the frame. Worst case scenario is the frame actually getting dented in those areas.

Is there some kind of rule about when a bike is better supported under the wheels or able to hang?

Platform rack! With the weight of our bikes it’s really not an option.
