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 dierent 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 aordable 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 notication. 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 notication, 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 oers protection in the lower section in contrast to the

bike box and the bike case. The top section remains susceptible to pressure and impacts.

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.

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-

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

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 dierent wheel bases. Do not turn the screw connectors very tightly otherwise you will need to readjust the setting when you pack the bike.

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.

bike case

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

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

manual and the chapter on “handling quick-releases” and “removing wheels”.

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.

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°.

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.

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.

bike case

B&WB&W

1.1 Place the assembled bike in front of the

upright bike case and make sure that no components protrude beyond the dimensions of the bike case. Optimise the alignment of the frame on the ASF if necessary once you have loosened the screws of the ASF. Tighten the screws again with 10-12 Nm. Should this still not be sucient, please dismantle the seat and seat post if necessary, remove the rear derailleur and turn the handlebars.

Removing the rear derailleur:

1.2 Turn the gears back slightly and continue

to hold them in place with one hand so they do not fall uncontrolled due to the spring tension when you release the screws. Unscrew the connectors fully. Protect the chain bar either with air cushion lm or foam tubes e.g. hot water tubes. Pack up the removed rear derailleur and bind it to the middle of the protected bar with copper wire.

Removing the handlebars:

1.5 Open the seat post clip on the clamp or

on the frame by one or two turns. Pull the seat post out. This should be possible without too much force and without strongly turning it back and forth. Never apply force. If necessary, read your general instruction manual or ask your bike retailer.

1.6 Turn the seat post clip using little force on

the tool and only as far as required so that it just securely holds the seat post.

Turning the screw connector on the seat

post clip too tightly can damage the actual clip or the frame.

1.7 Protect the whole frame with insulation

tubes or with air cushion lm

1.3 Release the front screws on the handlebar

stem by one or two turns and turn the handlebars down until the smallest possible construction width is achieved. Only turn the four screws with little force so that the handlebars are only just held in the stem.

Removing the seat and seat post:

1.4 Mark the insert depth of the seat post

with sticky tapes. Stick a second piece of sticky tape to the same point on the frame and draw a vertical line. This makes a big dierence when setting the seat height and aligning the seat at the destination.

1.8 Place the bike and the ASF in the opened

bike case. Clean the seat post and protect it with insulation tubing. Store the seat and seat post on the base of the bike bag so that they cannot cause any damage.

bike case

B&WB&W

1.1 Push the plastic hub protectors onto the

axle ends. These are relatively reliable in preventing the axles pushing through the packaging or causing damages to the frame.

1.2 Place a cotton cloth over the sprocket and

slide the ends of the cloth towards the spokes on the back. This prevents the packaging becoming dirty and the cloths are useful for taking care of the bike later.

1.3 Put the wheels into the wheel bags.

1.5 Wrap the

tool used (pedal and Allen wrench)

•

torque key with bits (for proper assembly)

•

carbon lubricant if necessary

•

chain and penetrating oil for care (no

•

spray cans!) air pump

•

saddle bags

•

individually in cotton cloths.

1.6 Store all of this together with this manual

and your general bike instruction manual in a little box at the bottom of the bike case.

Insert the bottles into the holder on the

frame so you do not forget them.

1.7 Place the wheel bags on the bike in the

bike case. The sprocket on the back wheel should point inwards and the width should be as small as possible.

1.4 Wrap the pedals in cotton cloth and store

them in the little pockets on the wheel bags.

If there is any space left in the bike case,

you can slide a well packed helmet and even packed cycling shoes into the cavity.

1.8 Close the lid slowly and carefully. If the lid

on the bag cannot be closed easily, check whether the wheel bags are not positioned well, whether the handlebars are too wide or whether the seat is protruding too high. Dismantle as described above if necessary. Align the wheel bags better if necessary.

Close the lid slowly and carefully again.

Make sure that all lock bolts cleanly slide into the counterparts.

bike case

B&WB&W

1.1 Close the locks by pressing the keys.

1.2 Open up the rotating ap and turn it until

the closing anchor is open.

1.3 Tilt the whole mechanism inwards. Turn

the ap in the opposite direction and pay attention that the anchor pulls the case closed. Fold the rotating ap inwards.

1.5 Insert your business card or a note with

your address in the little address pocket.

1.6 Lock the bike case.

Please generally check before travelling by

air with your bike in the bike case whether damage to the frame or other components can occur due to vibrations or gravitational forces during transport. Therefore, please do not place any loose objects or tools in the bike case and you should decide yourself whether it is necessary to use additional padding material.

Please note that a bike case weighing

more than 30 kg may not be transported by the airline. Inform yourself in good time before departure.

Assembly on arrival

Assemble the bike in the reverse order to dismantling.

2.1 Turn the rear derailleur back slightly and

continue to hold it in place with one hand so it doesn’t fall uncontrolled due to the spring tension when you release the screws. Unscrew the connectors fully.

2.2 Protect the chain bar either with air cush-

ion lm or foam tubes e.g. hot water tubes. Pack up the removed gears and bind them to the middle of the protected bar with copper wire.

2.3 Insert the shorter plastic spacer into the

drop end of the fork. Slide the longer spacer into the wheel axle mounts on the rear assembly. Fix the holder with plastic coated wire or cable binders to the chain bars or the drop ends.

Please note that there are dierent spac-

ers for racing bikes and mountain bikes.

Alternative:

2.5 If your stem cannot be opened at the

front, loosen and remove the above Aheadset® adjustment screw plus the cover. Open the side clamping screws on the stem by one to two turns. The stem should now be able to be moved and can be taken from the shaft with the handlebars.

2.6 Slide on spacers in place of the stem,

which you secure with the cover and the Aheadset® adjustment screw. The frame and fork remain as one unit and you thereby reduce the packing size.

2.7 Insert the bottles into the holder on the

frame so you do not forget them. Protect the whole frame with insulation tubes or with air cushion lm. Lift the frame up slightly and place it with the chain wheel into the supplied foam support for the bottom bracket. This is how you can prevent the chain wheel and/or bike case becoming damaged.

2.4 Loosen the front screws on the stem of

your handlebars. Remove the cover and take out the handlebars. Pack the handlebars in a bag made of lm.

2.8 Place the prepared bike in the B&W bike

box. The handlebars or handlebar stem unit should not collide with the frame tube or fork and the bowden cables should not be bent. Protect the critical areas with additional foam.

and pack them in the supplied wheel bags. Make sure that you do not lose the two little springs per wheel. Also pack the pedals in the wheel bag compartments provided. Close them.

2.6 If necessary, push the plastic hub protec-

tors (available from your bike retailer) onto the axle ends. These are relatively reliable in preventing the axles pushing through the packaging or causing damages to the frame.

2.7 Place a cotton cloth over the sprocket and

slide the ends of the cloth towards the spokes on the back. This prevents the packaging becoming dirty and the cloths are useful for taking care of the bike later.

2.1 Place the packed wheels in the B&W bike

case, the sprocket pointing inwards in the frame triangle section where it cannot cause any damage. Close the case while it is lying on the ground and make sure that nothing gets caught. Pressure must not have to be applied; otherwise you will have to move the freight around slightly. Close the locks.

2.2 Place the case upright and tie the lashing

strap around the bike box. This means that if the locks fail, the B&W lashing strap still holds the freight together.

2.3 Insert your business card or a note with

your address in the little address pocket.

Please note that a bike case weighing

more than 30 kg may not be transported by the airline. Inform yourself in good time before departure.

Assembly on arrival

Assemble the bike in the reverse order to dismantling.

2.4 Read the information in your general bike

instruction manual on setting the relevant components and especially the information on correct xing of components (screw torque).

3.5 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.

3.6 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.

3.7 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.

3.4 The mounting elements for the most

widespread quick-release systems are included in the scope of delivery.

Should you require adapters for the full-

oating axle systems 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

adjustment of the ASF. Ask someone to assist you otherwise damages may be caused.

3.8 In contrast, the left pedal has a left thread

and is therefore opened in a clockwise direction.

3.1 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).

3.2 For mechanical calliper brakes (cantilever

3.3 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.

3.5 Open the quick-releases 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 quickrelease slightly and remove the wheel from the locks.

3.6 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

brakes if you are transporting the bike without wheels.

3.7 Pull the brake lever and secure it with a

strong rubber coating if you are transporting a bike with hydraulic disc brakes.

3.4 For disc brakes (hydraulic or mechanical),

If necessary, read your general instruction

manual and the chapter on “handling quick-releases” and “removing wheels”.

3.8 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 per wheel.

bike bag

B&WB&W

3.1 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.

3.2 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.

3.3 Guide the drop ends of the front wheel

fork to the front mounting element.

3.5 Then x the frame onto the ASF; use the

3.6 Turn the crank parallel to the chain bar

and x the right pedal eye with a plastic coated wire or a cable tie to the chain bar protected with insulation tubing or air cushion lm.

3.7 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.

3.4 If the fork doesn’t t, you must adjust the

mounting element by loosening and sliding on the front cantilever.

3.8 Switch to the lowest gear with the right

gear lever so that the rear derailleur is fully on the inside.

bike bag

B&WB&W

3.1 Protect the whole frame either with insu-

lation tubing or with air cushion lm.

3.2 Place the bike with the ASF in the opened

bike bag.

If the bike gets stuck on the rear derailleur, it needs to be unscrewed.

3.3 Turn the gears back slightly and continue

to hold them in place with one hand so they doesn’t fall uncontrolled due to the spring tension when you release the screws. Unscrew the connectors fully.

3.5 Push the plastic hub protectors onto the

axle ends. These are relatively reliable in preventing the axles pushing through the packaging or causing damages to the frame.

3.6 Place a cotton cloth over the sprocket and

slide the ends of the cloth towards the spokes on the back. This prevents the packaging becoming dirty and the cloths are useful for taking care of the bike later.

3.7 Store the wheels in the side pockets. The

sprocket on the back wheel should point inwards. Close the wheel compartments with the zips.

3.4 Protect the chain bar either with air cush-

ion lm or foam tubes e.g. hot water tubes. Pack up the removed gears and bind them to the middle of the protected bar with copper wire.

3.8 Close the bike bag with the zip. If the zip

on the bag cannot be pulled easily, check whether the handlebars are too wide or whether the seat is protruding too high.

bike bag

B&WB&W

3.1 Initially release the front screws on the

handlebar stem by one or two rotations and turn the handlebars down until the smallest possible construction width is achieved.

3.2 If this is not sucient, the handlebars

need to be fully removed. Protect the handlebars with air cushion lm.

3.3 Only turn the four screws with little force

so that the handlebars are only just held in the stem or the clamp collars are lightly xed.

3.5 Open the seat post clip on the clamp or

on the frame by one or two turns. Pull the seat post out. This should be possible without too much force and without strongly turning it back and forth.

Never apply force. If necessary, read your

general instruction manual or ask your bike retailer.

3.6 Turn the seat post clip using little force on

the tool and only as far as required so that it just securely holds the seat post.

Turning the screw connector on the seat

post clip too tightly can damage the actual clip or the frame.

Clean the support and protect it with

insulation tubing. Store the seat and seat post on the base of the bike bag so that they cannot cause any damage.

3.7 Wrap the

pedals,

•

tool used (pedal and Allen wrench)

•

torque key with bits (for proper assembly)

•

carbon lubricant if necessary

•

chain and penetrating oil for care (no

•

spray cans!) air pump and

•

saddle bags

•

individually in cotton cloths.

3.4 Before removing the seat and seat post,

mark the insert depth of the seat post with sticky tapes. Stick a second piece of sticky tape to the same point on the frame and draw a vertical line. This makes a big dierence when setting the seat height and aligning the seat at the destination.

3.8 Store all of this together with this manual

and your general bike instruction manual, if possible, in the pockets sewn into the bike bag and the rest in a little box at the bottom of the bike bag.

If there is any space left in the bike bag,

you can slide a well packed helmet and even packed cycling shoes into the cavity.
