no, please explain
Hang the bike in the upright position with one hook in the rear wheel and the other hook under the stem. I offset the hook to allow for the dropper post in the MTB and for the drop bars on the road bike. I can also remove the front wheels if they are in the way of me working on something in the garage. And yes, my water bottle holders are cheesy but they work great.

My question is why does a road bike needs to be hung right side up

it doesnt, neither does a mtb, regardless of brake type
It has nothing to do with the brakes.
Other than the vertical offset, the hooks are the same spacing as hanging them inverted. As such, I've had them both ways and found that I have less ducking with the bikes right side up. Sung is taller than me so I thought it would benefit him, especially if the front wheel is removed.

By right side you mean the top side? Who’s Sung?

Rode the Ragley today at Mahlon.
The bike felt good.... better than any other times. One thing I didn't mention was that I swapped out the handlebar to a 35mm riser. I really enjoyed the bike today. I hope this is not a fluke. It just needs a slight tweak and I think it will be good.

Is it a sin to install a riser bar on a XC bike?

Just got a feeling my neck and back will suffer on the Niner at my old age.
