Congratulations on your
purchase of a B&W bike case.
The high quality bike cases and -bags from
B&W are particularly suited for safe transportation of valuable bikes. B&W cases are
practical and, above all, the best quality. This
means you can take your own, high-end bike
safely on holiday with you with ease.
To make sure you manage this easily, we
have provided accurate information in this
manual on how to dismantle your bike and
store it in the case. Furthermore, we have also
compiled useful information on air travel and
provide you with tips on what you should
take along with your bike.
We recommend dierent versions of the bike
case depending on the bike type:
1. bike case for trekking bikes,
full-suspension mountain bikes and
Triathlon bikes and equipment.
2. bike box for racing bikes (up to frame
height 62 cm) or hard-tail mountain
bikes.
3. bike bag, the aordable and easy to store
alternative (however the plastic tray only
protects the lower parts of the bike
such as the chain and gears).
4. foldon case for folding bikes from
Brompton Bikes and the Frog model from
Riese und Müller.
Should you have any questions on this
manual or on our products, please contact
us at info@b-w-international.com or at +49(0)5451/8946-0.
Your B&W Team wishes you a good trip with
our bike cases and lots of fun cycling.

Reasons for taking your own bike:
All cyclists know from their own experience: you ride your own bike much better and safer
because you know the sports equipment inside and out, the seat position is right and you are
thoroughly familiar with the brakes and the gears and know the condition they are in.
Available space in the case can be used to store your helmet, shoes, tools and bike rucksack etc.
Please note that the overall weight of the bike case should not exceed 30 kg.
Before travel
Find out before booking whether the airline carries sport luggage (bike in the case) and
•
how much the charges are.
Notify the travel agent directly when booking that you want to take your own bike. This
•
information will be passed on to the airline and you will receive separate notication.
There are costs associated with registering with the airline and we have listed them for you
•
(status as of December 2011). If you don’t receive any other notication, these costs are usually paid directly at the check-in desk.
Also think about transport from the airport to the hotel. For package travel deals: notify
•
the travel agent about bike transport from the airport to the booked hotel and back when
booking otherwise additional costs may apply.
Cycling event organisers: transport is frequently included in the travel cost. Inform yourself
•
in good time before departure.
Departure
You should generally plan more time to check-in when you travel with a bike.
•
For early morning departures, we recommend the check-in service the evening before to
•
save time on the day of departure.
Report to the check-in desk as usual. Once you have received your boarding card, you usu-
•
ally have to go to a separate desk for bulky luggage.
At the destination airport
For the bike box, the rear derailleur must be dismantled on all bikes so you should therefore measure the front edge of the fork drop to the back edge of the frame drop.
Please note that the bike bag only oers protection in the lower section in contrast to the
A
bike box and the bike case. The top section remains susceptible to pressure and impacts.
2
The bike case usually arrives on a special conveyor belt or is handed to you through a door for
bulky luggage. It is rare for it to arrive on the normal suitcase conveyor belt.
Damages to the case
Report any damages to the case immediately to the airline. The “Lost & Found” desk usually helps
you at most airports.

mountain bike, please contact us
at info@b-w-international.com or
+49-(0)5451/8946-0.
Anti Shock Frame (ASF) assembly
1.3 Place the bike case on the ground and
open it.
Take the accessories out and place them
on the oor so you have them readily
available as you prepare the bike for shipment.
1.5 Insert the right adapter into the mounting
element for your bike’s axle system.
The mounting elements for the most
widespread quick-release systems are
included in the scope of delivery.
Should you require adapters for the full-
i
oating axle system of your mountain
bike, please contact us at info@b-w-international.com or +49-(0)5451/8946-0.
You will need a helping hand for the rst
a
adjustment of the ASF. Ask someone to
assist you otherwise damages may be
caused.
Packing the bike
1.6 Switch to the large chain wheel at the
front and the smallest pinion on the back.
This provides some protection against the
sharp edges of the chain wheel.
1.7 Keep a special pedal key or a long Allen
wrench ready and unscrew the pedals.
The right pedal has a typical right thread
and is released in an anticlockwise direction. Please note that the pedals release
with a jerk. Therefore use an angled
wrench and position the tool so that your
hands move away from the sharp teeth of
the chain wheel when you turn the right
pedal to release.
1.4 Assemble the parts of the ASF as shown in
the illustration.
Please note that there are several posi-
tions for mounting the front wheel forks.
By sliding the mounting element in the
slotted hole on the extension, the ASF can
be adjusted to dierent wheel bases. Do
not turn the screw connectors very tightly
otherwise you will need to readjust the
setting when you pack the bike.
6
1.8 For pedals with an inner hexagon, insert
the tool from the inside of the crank into
the pedal axle. Make sure that the tool
is fully inserted. Apply the bike brakes
and step on the rear key until the pedal
releases.
In contrast, the left pedal has left thread
and is therefore opened in a clockwise
direction.

B&WB&W
1.1 Open the release lever on the brakes
(Shimano, SRAM) on racing bikes or slide
the pin in the gear brake handle on the
handlebars (Campagnolo).
1.2 For mechanical calliper brakes (cantilever
and V-brakes); you must initially take out
the cable on the brake arm. Hold the calliper with one hand and press the brake
pad or brake arm together. In this position, the mostly barrel-shaped nipples of
the brake cross-tension or tension sleeve
(for V-brakes) can be easily taken out.
1.3 For hydraulic calliper brakes from the
company Magura, you open the quickrelease lever on one brake side and pull
the brake out of the holder.
1.5 Open the quick-release or full-oating
axles on MTBs. If the front wheel can’t be
pulled out, it is due to the drop locks.
These are holding pins in the wheel
mount (drop end). You must open the tension nut on the quick-release slightly and
remove the wheel from the locks.
1.6 Remove the back wheel. To make removal
of the back wheel easier, pull the rear
derailleur slightly back with your hand. Lift
the bike slightly and then tap the wheel
so that it falls out.
Mount the transport protectors for disc
g
brakes if you are transporting the bike
without wheels.
1.7 Pull the brake lever and secure it with a
strong rubber coating if you are transporting a bike with hydraulic disc brakes.
1.4 For disc brakes (hydraulic or mechanical);
you should rst of all look where the brake
pads or the points of wear (metal lug/pin)
are. You can use them later to establish
whether the pads are still in the right
position after dismantling. Please read the
instruction manual provided by the brake
manufacturer.
If necessary, read your general instruction
i
manual and the chapter on “handling
quick-releases” and “removing wheels”.
8
1.8 Remove the nuts on both quick-releases
completely, remove the springs and
remove the quick-releases from the wheel
axles. Make sure that you do not lose the
two little springs for each wheel.
9

bike case
B&WB&W
1.1 Slide the quick-releases into the ASF
mounting elements. Guide the springs so
that the thin areas of all springs are pointing inwards on the quick-release that is on
each side of a spring.
1.2 Lift the bike with one hand and pull the
gears slightly back with the other hand.
Place the rear drop end into the rear
mounting so that the top chain section
runs above the mounting element.
1.3 Guide the drop ends of the front wheel
fork to the front mounting element.
1.5 Then x the frame onto the ASF; use the
quick-releases or full-oating axles on
your bike. Close the wheel xings as you
would on the bike. Once everything is in
place, tighten all screws on the ASF with
a suitable torque key and a torque of 1012 Nm.
The handlebars must be driven in 90°.
i
For bikes with double bridge forks on
which this is not possible, please order
a corresponding adapter at info@b-winternational.com or contact us on +49(0)5451/8946-0.
1.6 Turn the crank parallel to the chain bar
and x the right pedal eye with a cable tie
to the chain bar.
1.7 Also x the chain at the point where it
meets the chain wheel and where it leaves
it again. This means the chain cannot fall
and cause damage and the sharp edged
chain wheel is somewhat defused.
10
1.4 If the fork doesn’t t, you must adjust the
mounting element by loosening and sliding on the front cantilever.
1.8 Switch to the lowest gear with the right
gear lever so that the rear derailleur is fully
on the inside.
