How To Pack A Mountain Bike For Travel | GMBN Packs The Douchebags Savage

[@leetaylor9368]

Tip for travelling with a cardboard box, wrap the things in a few layers of duck tape, adds structure and and resistance to the weather.

[@elvingtonred]

A Top tip for fork and frame protection, is foam pipe lagging sold at DIY shops, very cheap but perfect for bikes! Also bear in mind that your pride and joy might be stood on during loading and unloading by baggage handlers!

[@patricksheard1648]

How about making sure it’s clean because some countries (Australia I think) are tough on bringing dirt that could have bacteria etc into the country?

[@RobertSchuster68]

Patrick Shearing in case you forget to clean it, you will get your personal dirt shed show

[@Kapi.23]

really? it's a bit excesive in my opinion. Specially when almost anything can kill you down under

[@jamesdowney723]

But seriously if you threaten our biosecurity your own food supply will suffer.

[@leomolloy5067]

James Downey it’s funny how Aussies flip from there stereotype to their normal attitude when on the internet.

[@TimRobson]

Good call - New Zealand and Australia makes you show shoes and wheels at a minimum. I've thrown shoes and tyres out rather than deal with a grumpy Customs official in both Australia and NZ.

[@loftyfilius1792]

If you were coming to New Zealand (Australia is pretty harsh too) that mud/dirt would have cost you a lot of time and maybe even a fine at the border just another little tip.

[@itsme_2183]

Gmbn and my favourite youtuber's company working together. Two worlds collide

[@sorenkooke7884]

What about putting stuff like Helmets, shoes or a backpack into the bikebag?

[@TeodorKubena]

Bikes Trails Beer The helmet would probably not for in.

[@409nh8]

The new Mega looks so clean

[@freedomfactorymtb239]

What about letting air out of the dropper?

[@mjones3544]

Thanks for the video! Curious why you remove the derailleur from the hanger, and leave the hanger attached to the frame? Thanks!

[@alexnicolaou3579]

awesome and useful video. as for CO2 cartridges, it's possible that the ones used for lifejackets have been tested and tested again and gotten a seal of approval for aviation use. something that would probably not be the case for commercially available products. as with paintball equipment, no european airline allows paintball/airsoft co2 cartridges, could be the same for our tyre inflators.

[@rtmunro]

weight is a serious concern. my preferred airline treats bikes as regular checked baggage, and I get one free checked bag, up to 50lbs. more than 50lbs gets a $100 surcharge. My bike weighs 36lbs, the cardboard box & packing materials put me at 49.5lbs after I removed my chain and pedals. I couldn't put a pair of socks in there let alone stuff a 26lb bike bag with tools and gear.

[@urbanphotographer]

Very good! I’m planning to buy one but when looking at airline rules there are only a few of them that allow a weight above 23 kg. More or less everyone with an L frame and above must have a problem with this limit since most of the bike travel bags weigh around 10 kg.

[@newttella1043]

Airlines will still let you bring an over 23kg bag. They just add an overweight charge. This was what they did when everyone used those hard cases that weighed over 13kg.

[@urbanphotographer]

Newt Tella Great, thanks!

[@evgeniiselivanov8054]

Love your socks mate)

[@torquecanyon8424]

What was the weight of the bag itself?

[@mazenhakouz]

Nice bag from the looks of it. What’s the wheelbase on that bike. I wonder if it’ll fit my Stamina 140 (1300 mm wheelbase)!

[@stelioshz]

Thank you, that was really really helpful.

[@bbggakkba]

I hate the name of the company but that is a really nice bag

[@shark2075]

That is a long bike, thanks for the video doddy

[@nigelmelanie]

How much did this set up weigh? We're only allowed 23kg doesn't leave much room for anything else.

[@RobertSchuster68]

Lucky enough I don’t live in the UK. So where ever I go, Austria/Switzerland/France/SouthernPalatinate I can use my Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo 🙋🏼‍♂️ only Mallorca is a pain in the ass, so I prefer renting a canyon at the canyon-store-mallorca

[@mihneaiancu8753]

Super nice!

[@kevinking7733]

Who sells the savage, can’t find UK supplier.

[@aretoussa24]

Hi! Thanks for the video, very helpful! I have a hybrid bike with suspension. And I was wondering I f I should do what you did with your suspension(I don't know how, but I'll figure it out!). Is it really necessary to flat them out?

[@JogBird]

the name of the company is cute if youre 10 yrs old but limiting marketability

[@jonatanse3257]

JogBird you say that but all Europe know the brand thanks to the Swedish skiier and KZbinr Jon Olsson

[@TeodorKubena]

JogBird You are fucking dumb. The name of the company is amazing for marketing. They don't need advertising. Their name is just too cathy and funny forget.

[@itsme_2183]

Tell that to Jon Olsson, he wil disagree

[@ChrisandSohee]

Cool Video, Keep up the good work!

[@24OnBike]

Good Video!

[@urbanphotographer]

Another one... I travelled to Scotland some weeks ago. My friend brought her bike and it took up ridiculous amounts of space in my car to and from the airport! This time we rented a van over there but that felt like total overkill. A small or medium car can’t accomodate two bags. With a bigger car it would probably work but then you’re definitely restricted to 2 persons in the car. Any smart ideas?

[@willwt97]

Urban Rosenqvist get a bike rack lol

[@urbanphotographer]

Will Wilding-Taylor I’m now thinking mini bus... :)

[@Tchairdjian]

Check out the Orucase...

[@jarrais1120]

You already did a video about this . I know it's a different channel but still it is what i think . But as always good video.

[@archieelvin2917]

Love you videos

[@MattPayne1]

Whats the wheelbase of that bike?

[@natskis]

After spending forever taking everything off and cramming my bike into an azure hardcase. I really wish I just spent more money on the douchebag or evo

[@mortonfrankfire5400]

Man I’ve just had to put mine in a box. What a nightmare!!

[@adrianxc7512]

Its so cool😍😍

[@bradrushton3127]

how much does this weigh because my bike has to be a maximum of 30kg on my flight

[@TeodorKubena]

brad rushton It definitely fits in. I highly doubt the that the case is more than 17kg.

[@ashrafabdelhai6867]

Hello GMBN Team, I like your work and your channel. very impressive. The idea of packing this way is very nice instead of usual way. But I am wondering is it good enough to prevent bike from damage caused by putting many things above each other?

[@shadowv6794]

But will this particular bag fit in the boot of an SUV in vertical position? I'm afraid that it is quite tall and wide to fit in a boot.

[@Hoihaihei]

Not useful for me but entertaining still 👍

[@michi7603]

noice

[@th_js]

Great video, but not really relevant to me.
