Travel bag - DIY wheels

Posted on
  • I have a bicycle travel bag without wheels, I experienced it was quite a hassle to carry it around so I want to build wheels under it..someone here might did this already?

    I can't find anything on google

  • +1 to this post. I recently had the same problem, luckily I just made myself look really weak and a London underground staff member helped me carry it.

  • I know it's for a bmx but I always thought this was a pretty good idea.

  • That's awesome.

  • I've thought about this too, I think a good solution would be to make uhmw (same as mallet caps) pucks that attach to the bottom so you can drag it along without damaging the bag.


  • "Samsonite Micro Mover Carry on Cart.

    just stumbled across this. pricey like.

  • What would be cool would be if there's any way you could use your actual wheels and attach them to the bag.
    If you didn't need to take the rear wheel off there could be a hole in the bag for the wheel to stick out so you can pull it along...

    Big bike bags with wheels are difficult to carry as they don't fold / roll up.

  • no need for bag.

  • GSport link is probably the easiest way to do it.

    Biggest problems are weight (that CRC bag weighs 8.6kg without anything in it) and support (if you were to just add wheels/pucks then the bag will sag around those high points and rip as you drag it).

    Using your own wheels is interesting but airlines will make you deflate before flying and you will still need to support the load in some way.

  • Could just sew a couple of straps to the bottom of the bag and strap a skateboard on.

  • i put swivel wheels from the base of a bed onto an amp i had before, you need a solid base like a bit of mdf or something, drill the right size hole and they just click in .. its just like pushing a shopping trolly around
