Hi All

Can anyone recommend a bike bag that will take a Whyte 729 suitable to go on a plane ?

Preferably I'm looking or something that is light to avoid extra charges and requires minial dismantle of the bike

Thanks

    I'm in the same place as you. I've been looking at the Evoc one http://www.evocsports.com/en/bike/bike-travel-bags/bike-travel-bag.html.

    They say it will take 29ers. I think that you have to accept you have to remove wheels/bars and I think pedals....

    Has anyone tried the Evoc?
    MTB or Road - They are both good!

    Cardboard box. However, make some triangular braces (3 or 4) the same length as the width of the box and tape them in so the box does not crush.

    For what it is worth, I always let the the air out of the tyres and suspension a bit before taking the bike on a plance; I know some people say it is not needed, but I do.
