If you're planning to ride abroad then you're going to need to know how to pack an MTB bag. It's pretty simple, but there are a few tips and tricks that you're going to want to know about.
If you're going through all the trouble of bubble wrapping everything to protect it then why would you leave the bars against the frame? That's more likely to cause damage than the linkages against the frame....
I think the long padding at the bottom that has no use in this video is supposed to be on top of the rear axle block, and the velcro strap on top of that. That way it actually secures the rear end to the bag. ;)
Would advise not compressing your hydraulic seat post as the cabin pressure cause increased pressure on the hydraulic internals and destroy your seals. Also have heard about taking pressure out of your shocks, I have never done it and no issues.
For an extra 300$ you get a wider wheelbase.............LOL. I'd rather spend 15 minutes in the workshop and 15$ at Ace hardware widening the wheelbase.
Will the CRC bag take a downhill frame as I have always planned on going on holiday but never can find a bike bad that will hold a downhill frame with out being so pricy
i have sping suspension as its only the low range boxxers so cant do that and i have the nuke proof scalp in small bit it is a large size bike compared to most mountain bikes
@@ianrotherham9707 they are to accommodate all different types of fork and rear axle sizes that people might have. At 2:20 and 2:40 he shows hes using 2 of them
The start of the Mountain of Hell in Les Deux Alpes is at 3200 m and nobody lets the air of their shocks for the chairlift up. The maximum cabin pressure altitude of commercial airliners is 2400 m.
Catcrumbs the maximum cabin pressure is only relevant of you bring the bike into the cabin. Luggage goes into cargo which is a differnt pressure I wonder.

is this good for air travel?
Yes
Bar against frame!...
The bag it's compatible with a Cannondale Trigger 29er Tg L with lefty fork?
Thank you in advance.
Alfredo Bossi I doubt it would fit 29er wheels

will this case protect my bike for international travel?
Cardboard!!!
Could I fit my specialized demo in it?
The CRC site has a photo of a Nukeproof DH bike in it, so I guess a Demo would fit

Can you provide a link to the dedicated spacers that you used?
Is this the more expensive pro version of wheel bag or the basic entry level crc wheel bag?
Whats with the credits... The more MTB tech thumbnail has roadie stuff on it
Is it possible to buy spacers somewhere?
I lost mine...
what iftires were tubeless.? it would leak right?
is this a sponcerd video by crc its there bag and there bike brand vitus
Can I pack my MTB in this bag and get it on a plane with me?? will this be good or not??
What was that thing he put in between the forks called?
де можно купить такой велоангар??
I had no idea tempo made bike bags
i have the exact same bike!
Lo mejor que he visto
Nice video..
CRC bag using small wheel base, and thats bad. Evoc more stable in motion
For an extra 300$ you get a wider wheelbase.............LOL. I'd rather spend 15 minutes in the workshop and 15$ at Ace hardware widening the wheelbase.
Cool!
k
What if it has tubeless tyres? How can you let air out without wrecking the seal?
Ok mine may not be set up right :(
I think mine are wtb so my tyre must not fit well. :(
Its yellow but I'm not sure if it's a rim strip or tape. Least I don't need to put them below 26 psi (the minimum pressure)

Rowan holmes If you have a look at the bag on CRC, there's a picture of a Nukeproof Pulse fitting in. No idea what size it was though.
+Rowan holmes Let the air out/take the spring out of your fork and compress it and you should be able to fit the bike in most bags comfortably.

There's lots of metal pegs with my chain reaction bag ...what are they all for ?

+Catcrumbs Like we said: we don't believe it's necessary, but some airlines will insist.

you arent taking the bike in the cabin though are you. its going in the depressurised hold.
@@bensblues Hold's pressurised
If the aircraft suffers depressurisation, things will change dramatically, and your shock will go POP, making a bad situation worse.
