David - I had that happen on one set, and put some black gorilla tape over the rubber part.
I guess it depends on how high your ceilings are too - mine are like 15 feet, and i have a rafter that comes down a foot or two that i have the hooks in, and I am 6'3. The bikes are too high for my 5'8 SO to safely be able to put the bikes up or take them down. If there was a zombie apocolypse and she needed the bike though, she could probably get it.
