Most of the top teams use these bags.....you don't have to take the bike apart so it makes it a lot easier ........

I like the idea of not having to take bike apart. Some of the reviews say quality of materials is poor however. That putsme off, it should be the dogs bollocks for that price.

Have to take bike apart but hard case so should be well protected.

I have their own brand bike bag, which has served me well so far and is only £49 or £65 with wheels.

Happy to bring it to chain gang or club run if you want to take a look

The box looks v similar to mine which has been fine so far as protecting the bike goes.The only caveat I'd make tho is that,with hindsight I'd have bought one with wheels at both ends rather than one end,meaning you have to lift one end to wheel it along

It wouldn't take much to fit extra wheels

Trucks + wheels + glue

But unless they are recessed they will get knocked off first flight!

Bet you could bolt some on.

Anyway for all round ease, value etc you can't really beat a bag. Also handy to be able to fold up and store away at home or on holiday.
