Evoc Bike Travel Bag Pro - Bike Travel Case for Airplanes, Trains, and Car Travel Without Bike Stand

In Los Cabos for a 70 mile bicycle trip, I took my bike by plane. It is a three-race event. As terrifying as it was to put my bike on the plane, my tri club had multiple members tell me THIS was their case of choice, so I handed it over and trusted them. In my opinion, it was a good solution. My bike may even go with me on short car trips to races instead of hanging out of the back of my car or putting it in the trunk. It was a simple set of instructions There are no words, only pictures. I was almost shocked to open the case (and not yet familiar with these) and see a case that's so minimal. There doesn't seem to be too many options there for securing your bike. However, there are plenty of videos online that will show you how to pack this beast some were helpful and some weren't. The inside of the case has two compartments for storing the quick release and the Having compartments on the outside is nice for wheels, though if you are going to spend hundreds of dollars on wheels you are probably going to need a separate case. The bike I have is a Trek Speed Concept from the early 2000s, and I have it fitted perfectly. You do not need the version with the stand as I watched an instructional video on YouTube that said you are supposed to use It might be a good idea for you. It's fine and you don't need it, but it's a waste of time. As someone who never uses all the straps that come with the case, I know it will keep your bike sturdy even if you don't use them all. With the fork in place, the rest of it starts to fall into place almost There was a sense of tightness and security about everything. Along with wrapping everything in bubble wrap, I wrapped some old towels around the edges, and repented for any sins I have I was able to make it work. There are no adequate words to describe what we need to do There are airport workers who will take care of you if you let it. As much as the case can do, there's only so much it can do. It's important to treat them nicely. You can trust them to do the job right. I was surprised to discover everyone knew I carried around a bike bag when I appeared at the airport. A special procedure may be in place to ensure the safety of items that are too large. The bottom line is, things happen. Insurance is a good idea. My heart stopped when I saw the bike lying on its side at baggage claim in Mexico it was on its side and I didn't know where it was Even so, everything was fine on the inside. That may not always be the case, but at least that will give you peace of mind knowing that you have done everything you can to protect your investment. Notes

A couple more items It cost me *130 one way to send my bag on Delta/AeroMexico. I either never received a charge from United or United charged me much less than expected. Unfortunately, I have no memory of that. Although I was under the impression that Delta did not charge for bikes, they said that since Aeromexico operated them, they did not I would like to hear from a man about his weight. The total weight was around 40 pounds both ways. Aside from the pedals, I also packed my carbon bike, towels, and I think I threw in some sweatpants. The benefit of a soft-landing is that A case consisting of a shell The weight a hardshell case comes with won't add a lot to your net cost. A bag wheel that accommodates a bag I had a problem when I was at an airport. My back wheel came loose. The rest of the way was fine after I used an allen wrench to fix it. * * * Handles I like the size of this guy. As you carry it behind you, carry it from the BOTTOM handle, tilting the thing back. It wasn't until I got home that I learned that. The bottom line Although it works great, you can never be sure that an "Act of God" won't happen to hurt your bike while it's being transported.

I consider it to be the best purchase You know this is the one if you are a mountain biker. I did the research and it is the best. It is so nice to hold the bike in such a way. It even allows me to pack my Scott Scale in the luggage and have it below 50 lbs without having to pay a penny more. There are people who take off their disc brakes and derailleurs when packing these bags, but my bike has never been damaged and I have used it on five trips (my other bike is a Yeti SB130 and it runs smoothly). I'm impressed with how well made and solid the item is.

Make sure you protect what you love. The standard bag cover is nothing like this. A protection plan is worth the investment if you want to keep your ride in good shape.

I did not receive a refund. I emailed evoc to point this out, but they failed to reply or provide me with the missing piece.

When I used the wheel for the first time, it fell off. Because it failed to tighten properly, the nut holding it in place fell out - we assume the bolt was not properly tightened. A similar system was in place on the other side. As a result, the bag is no longer useful.
