Trip through space with your very own time machine. The Tardis transforms your ungainly treadly into a compact bundle - handy when smuggling it onto planes and trains. Unbolt the stem to release handlebars, whip off the pedals and rear derailleur, then remove the wheels and seat. The frame is cunningly placed upside down with the wheels loaded on either side to protect the fragile bits. Shrinks into a compact package when you get to where you're going. Doctor Who?

This is an outstanding bag. Fits my large travel 29er nicely. Bag is lightweight and you can add some of your gear as extra protection for the frame. With the right preparation bike will be safe on the travels, no doubt. Material is durable and looks like it will last for years to come. Folds up next to nothing during your trip. Don't waste your money on heavy, expensive bags. Buy this one, it even fits in the boot of a Prius. Shipping from groundeffect was super fast! Thank You!
Took my bike on a MTBO tour of northern Europe. Lightest bike bag available, important when travelling on public transport. The bag survived the trip but several holes. The pads providing protection for the wheel axles are still set at 26 inch, and only just reach for the 29 inch wheel - IF the bag is packed optimally and doesn't move much in transit. I added a set of wheels on the back, allowing the ability to "drag" the bag. This was helpful going through train stations. But don't expect any soft bag to protect your bike from crush hazard: witnessed my bag being laid on a plane luggage trolley and 3 layers of normal suitcases put on top. Baggage handlers seem to enjoy squashing bikes... So the next improvement for me is to develop corner crush protectors but keep the whole bag light... Taxi drivers were impressed that this bag would slide and fit onto the back seat! The lightest and protecting bike bag has not been invented yet...but this bag is a start. Cheers
Sure it takes a bit of effort to dismantle the bike and I bubble wrapped frame etc. They also provide fork protection against squashing them. Stacks of room for extras inside. Youtube shows you how to pack..... .
Needed a bag to travel to the Kimberley WA. And needed it fast. Order arrived in time and had more than enough space for the 29er and all the gear needed to get through 5 days on the Gibb River road.
Bought this as it came highly recommended by friends. It arrived in Auckland the next day (love that) and was easy to pack up my pretty slack, large frame, 29er. This bag is light, so I’ve been able to pad the bike with clothes etc. Have no doubts it’ll travel safely, would recommend
