How to Travel With Your Bike Wheels
Two wheels, one bag: how to pack your wheels for a trip with the Corbah padded double wheel bag.
In this post
Taking spare wheels to a race, or your good wheels on a trip? Loose wheels get scratched, bent and tangled. A padded wheel bag keeps them safe and apart, and leaves your hands free.
Packing your wheels
- Remove the skewers. Put them in the inside pocket with your valve extenders and small parts, so nothing goes missing.
- Leave the cassette on. It makes no difference in this bag.
- Check your tires. 700c road wheels fit with tires on. 29er wheels fit with the tires deflated.
- One wheel per side. Each wheel gets its own padded, zippered compartment, so they never touch.
What makes a good wheel bag
- Tough fabric: ours is heavy-duty canvas with exterior padding, not the thin windbreaker material many wheel bags use.
- Hub protection: round plastic reinforcements inside stop your hubs rubbing against each other.
- Somewhere for small parts: an inside pocket for skewers and accessories.
- Easy carrying: a shoulder strap and a hand strap.
