This is my review of the Evoc Bike Travel Bag + Stand.
Im flying my Nagasawa Track bike from Australia to London. I thought people on here might be interested so i decided to document it.
The black bolts/road skewer that came with the stand did not fit my track dropouts or front forks. So i had to improvise with some nuts bolts and washers
You can adjustment the hight in 3 steps and the length the full size of the stand. I also removed the pedals, chain and chain tensors.
A little extra tip: Mark off with some masking tape the hight of your stem and seat post. This will make it is easy to put them back to your preferred hight at your final destination
I had spare bubble wrap so decided to wrap the frame and one crank arm.
I attached the handlebars with stem to the included Frame Pad onto the frame backwards (it fit better backwards with bubble wrap).
Inserted the stand and frame into the bag. Clipped in the forks. Bubble wrapped the pedals and clipped them in. Tied in the saddle with seat post attached. Added the chain, tools and small parts into the zip compartment.
I expect the pressure in a plane could pop the tyres, so remember and let the air out of them.
All packed up and ready to go.
The bag fit easily into the back seat of a taxi. Manoeuvring it at the airport was easy, the wheels on it are solid.
The moment of truth, I opened it up in London and everything was perfect. No dings no dents.
The bag itself had no scuffs and looks fairly clean.
Now I can fold the bag down flat and stick it under the bed or something similar.
I highly recommend this bike bag. I was very impressed with it.
(For a little extra peace of mind, I would buy 3 TSA Approved luggage locks.)
that post is a bit like how I wish my life went, but it never does

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
