Worth the money?

Will probably only use it for a road bike.
Do the wheel bags attach to the main body of the bag or go inside?

I have one of these - traveled to the US last year with it and it was great! Make sure when you pack it though, that you ensure the weight of the contents are balanced across entire base.

The wheel bags go inside.

I had NO DAMAGE to my bike whatsoever and will be using it again this year to repeat a trip to the US!

Great buy for the money IMO.

Should have also said....

There was enough room in the bag for a large full suss bike, parts, tools and riding gear (inc. helmet).

Cheers singer - at less than £50, it almost seems rude not to get one.

I've got the Brand-X version of this bag which is just a different colour.

As mentioned, plenty of room inside & the wheel bags go inside.
Best way to make is easier to handle is cut down a bike box (from Halfords or LBS) and stick it inside around the perimeter.
Stops it from falling over as easily when wheeling it around the airport.

I made a foam 'stand' for the BB/Chainrings to sit on that helps keep the bike stable once in there and don't forget you'll also need some of those braces that go between the stays & fork legs to stop them getting squidged.

plenty of room in it yes
Ive had two bikes comfortably in mine and it only just fits in the back of my car with the seats down
If anything it is too big!
