![]() ![]() Packing pro bike hard case zip#With all the supplied foam pads and chain cover in place (adjustable depending on the size and dimensions of your bike), you can then zip up the side cover, using the outer body of the bag as another layer of support for the frame inside. It’s not totally free within the bracket – there’s a ‘pull-and-fix’ fabric tightener to help fix the skewer to the bottom of the bracket – but it does leave a little wiggle room with the bike fixed semi-securely to the base frame as a result. Then you can slot the skewer through the bracket and dropouts in order to keep the bike in place, with the weight of the bike resting upon the skewers themselves. The front accepts anything from 90-110mm, and the rear 130-150mm, with an extra chain guide handily placed alongside to keep it in check. Once prepared, you then slot the bike into the bag, with the dropouts in line with the higher of the two brackets that house your wheel skewers (the lower bracket is for mountain bike users). The pictorial instructions encourage you to remove the bars and stem entirely and attach them to the supplied bike frame protector, but I honestly found it unnecessary with my 56cm frame bike. In reality, the only things that need removing are the wheels, with the seatpost loosened and fully depressed into the frame and the headset loosened so the bars can be twisted under the toptube. One of the great things about the Mega bike case is it allows you to get away with the minimum of work in terms of breaking your bike down in order for it to fit. Internally, you’ll find an array of foam pads that attach via Velcro to the internal sidewalls to help protect your bike from impacts and unexpected pressure from the outside, alongside a couple of pads that tie to the frame to offer a little extra protection, as well as an included chain cover sheath and bag for helmet or shoes. The rest is built of a soft, foam-padded, tear-resistant material, of which the side panels house large pockets to accommodate removed wheels and accessories. The base is built using a hard durable plastic, but they are the only solidly constructed part of the case, unless you count two vertically-inserted plastic poles at either end that add a little rigidity and support. It houses an aluminium base frame to which adjustable brackets are fixed so that the dropouts of your bike can be fixed via a skewer. ![]() Packing pro bike hard case trial#Interestingly, PRO don’t quote a capacity figure, but they do claim it’s capacious enough to take road, time trial and even mountain bikes. ![]()
