flying? evoc, just unpacked and assembled the bike in under 30 mins, done more trips than I can remember. No faff, not need for pipe lagging or axle spacers. Easy to move and carry.

Maybe if you put a bit more effort into explaining what sort of bag you want and what you're going to be using it for you might stand a better chance of a reply?

Or use the search function?

I got a solar panel bag for about 20 quid, no where near sturdy enough for flying but fine for general stuff

The basics for me
The bike shouldn't move in the bag
Things shouldn't be able to rub
Pockets for pedals and rotors
Rigid floor to stop your drop outs getting crushed
Wheels in own place
Protection from crush
Easy to wheel, and carry handles in the right place.

Ditto Mike, possibly relocating to Canada soon so will be needing a sturdy and supportive bike bag as I'll now be doing a fair bit of travelling.

Have just looked at the Pro Mega Bike Case which looks good so going to look for reviews about that one.

i bought a couple of DHB bike bags for our fullsus's. much cheapness and they work really well, no issues at all. We now use them all the time instead of smashing the interior of the bus up. with practice it takes maybe 15 mins to assemble both. It also forces us to use the mobile jetwash before putting them back in too. it's much better, apart from the extra time, and also means when we go away we can easily take the bikes into the hotel without any hassle.

The evoc bike bags seem to be a bit cheaper on a couple of NL sites than anywhere else at the moment, I just got one for 280e which was about 100e cheaper than anywhere else.

Evoc all day long, quick to pack & reassemble - handle bars/pedals/wheels off, I even leave my rotors on - fits my codeine perfectly - superb bit of kit.

CRC one for me. I have put a camber 29 and an enduro 29 in on different occasions with no problems. Who ever designed it must have had a good nose round the evoc one first.
