Dave.O May 2018 9:14pm, 25 May 2018 25,747 posts	0 Dave.O My theory is if you have spent a few grand on a bike why skimp on a bag thats going to get thrown around by baggage handlers.

tiamo69 May 2018 9:48pm, 25 May 2018 598 posts	0 tiamo69 If you’re looking for something for transporting bike in car; rather than flying bike to Majorca (etc), then the Vaude or Lifeline would be best (biggest discount on Lifeless be!). I’ve been using this Avenir Bike Bag since 2013; used it to take my bike to London on Train, for every single RL100 and to transport bike in back of car. Bought bag originally through Wiggle & also bought 2 reduced price ‘Chain Reaction’ wheel bags for a bit of extra padding... Been used quite a lot; including getting across London from Euston to ExCel & just a couple of small holes appeared last year, caused by the gear sprockets... freeborn.co.uk
