For flying with my touring or hardtail I have the amazing Groundeffect Tardis but I although it folds quite small it still weighs over a kilo. I am cycling over the Alps and into Italy and to return by train the bike needs to be in a bag. I am super excited to find this MontBell bag. It packs to 16x8 and weighs under 300g. It’s really nice quality (although very light so it’s not going to be robust). For my bike i need to take the seat down a bit, wheels off and handlebars loose. This is fine. I will leave the rear dry bags and tool bag on, carry the front roll and seat pack. I am so stoked to find such a small light solution. Not cheap- of course- but as it means my bike is now hand luggage I won’t need train tickets so straight away it will save its own cost. So I wanted to share this with people who will understand why I am excited.

By my calculations … I’ll do a test next week and post the result

The little carry bag is permanently attached to the big bag - nice touch. Also note straps for securing the wheels, and the shoulder carry strap. Bike looks like it will fit but no time yet to test.
