The rear dropouts bolt on to this support that adjusts between 130mm and 135mm, and includes a chain guide, plus a lower jockey wheel stop to prevent the derailleur from being bent inwards - Robin Wilmott/Future Publishing
The bike bag zipped up is reasonably compact, with the wheels dropping in to long zipped pockets on each side, and all running on four large steerable castors - Robin Wilmott/Future Publishing
PRO, Shimano's component and accessory arm, has a new bike travel case called the Mega. Somewhere between a hard and soft case, it uses a rigid metal frame as its base, with fully adjustable mounting points for the fork and rear dropouts. It also has a chain guide and rear derailleur protector.
Inside are numerous Velcro straps and adjustable protective pads that cover the most vulnerable areas, plus zipped pockets for pedals or spares. The wheels slip into external, zipped pockets, and the whole thing is easily transportable with chunky handles and four tough, steerable castors.
