Thank-you for choosing a B&W bike case
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 trans-
portation 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 [e-mail] 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.

This table only serves the purpose of providing initial orientation. For the actual possibilities of use,
please compare the applicable inner dimensions with the dimensions of the dismantled wheel
from the front edge of the fork drop to the end of the rear derailleur and the height of the seat
post to the underside of the chain wheel.
For the bike box, the rear derailleur must be dismantled on all bikes so you should therefore meas-
ure the front edge of the fork drop to the back edge of the frame drop.
APlease 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.
Airline Travel with your bike
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 usu-
ally 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
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.

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.
iShould you require adapters for the full-
oating axle system of your mountain
bike, please contact us at info@b-w-inter-
national.com or +49-(0)5451/8946-0.
aYou 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 direc-
tion. 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.
1.8 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.
1.2 iShould you require adapters for
the full-oating axle system of your
mountain bike, please contact us
at [email protected] 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 ship-
ment.
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.

bike case B&WB&Wbike case
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 cal-
liper with one hand and press the brake
pad or brake arm together. In this posi-
tion, 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 quick-
release lever on one brake side and pull
the brake out of the holder.
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.
iIf necessary, read your general instruction
manual and the chapter on “handling
quick-releases” and “removing wheels”.
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 ten-
sion 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.
gMount 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 transport-
ing a bike with hydraulic disc brakes.
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.

10 11
bike case B&WB&Wbike case
1.1 Slide the quick-releases into the ASF
mounting elements. Guide the springs so
that the thin areas of all springs are point-
ing 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.
1.4 If the fork doesn’t t, you must adjust the
mounting element by loosening and slid-
ing on the front cantilever.
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 10-
12 Nm.
iThe 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-w-
international.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.
1.8 Switch to the lowest gear with the right
gear lever so that the rear derailleur is fully
on the inside.

12 13
bike case B&WB&Wbike case
1.1 Place the assembled bike in front of the
upright bike case and make sure that no
components protrude beyond the dimen-
sions of the bike case. Optimise the align-
ment 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. Pro-
tect 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:
1.3 Release the front screws on the handlebar
stem by one or two turns and turn the
handlebars down until the smallest pos-
sible 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.
1.5 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 re-
tailer.
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.
ATurning 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
1.8 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.

14 15
bike case B&WB&Wbike case
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.
1.4 Wrap the pedals in cotton cloth and store
them in the little pockets on the wheel
bags.
iIf there is any space left in the bike case,
you can slide a well packed helmet and
even packed cycling shoes into the cavity.
1.5 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.
iInsert 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.
1.8 Close the lid slowly and carefully. If the lid
on the bag cannot be closed easily, check
whether the wheel bags are not posi-
tioned 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.

16 17
bike case B&WB&Wbike case
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.
1.4 Place the bike case upright and tie a lash-
ing strap around the bike case. This means
that if the locks fail, the B&W lashing strap
still holds the freight together.
1.5 Insert your business card or a note with
your address in the little address pocket.
1.6 Lock the bike case.
aPlease 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 gravita-
tional 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.
iPlease 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 dis-
mantling.
1.7 Read the information in your general bike
instruction manual on setting the relevant
components and especially the informa-
tion on correct xing of components
(screw torque).
gPerform the “before each ride” check after
assembly.
gThis manual cannot teach you the skills of
a bicycle mechanic or tter. If you are un-
certain, please contact a local bike retailer
or a training workshop.

applied. The brake would be ineective.
2.8 Turn the crank parallel to the chain bar
and x the right pedal eye with a cable tie
to the chain bar. 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 some-
what defused. This means it cannot cause
scratches and the sharp edged chain
wheel is covered a little.

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.
iPlease note that there are dierent spac-
ers for racing bikes and mountain bikes.
2.4 Loosen the front screws on the stem of
your handlebars. Remove the cover and
take out the handlebars. Pack the handle-
bars in a bag made of lm.
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 handle-
bars.
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.
2.8 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.

24 25
bike box B&WB&Wbike box
2.1 Wrap the whole chain belt in air cushion
lm so that the chain, which is always a
little oily, is isolated from the rest of the
freight.
2.2 Place the seat post including the seat in a
good position in the bottom of the bike
box.
2.3 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 and
• saddle bags
individually in cotton cloths.
2.4 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.
iIf there is any space left in the bike case,
you can slide a well packed helmet and
even packed cycling shoes into the cavity.
2.5 Remove the quick-releases from the hub
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 dam-
ages 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.
2.8 Pack the wheels in the wheel bags and
close the bags with the zips.
APlease generally check before travelling
with your bike in the bike box whether
damage to the frame or other components
can occur due to vibrations or gravita-
tional forces during transport. Therefore,
please do not place any loose objects
or tools in the bike bag and you should
decide yourself whether it is necessary to
use additional padding material.

Anti Shock Frame (ASF) assembly
Open the bike bag.
Take the accessories out and place them on the
oor so that you have them readily available as
you prepare the bike for shipment.
3.1 Mount the parts of the ASF as shown in
the illustration.
3.2 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.
3.3 Insert the right adapter into the mounting
element for your bike’s axle system.
3.4 The mounting elements for the most
widespread quick-release systems are
included in the scope of delivery.
iShould you require adapters for the full-
oating axle systems of your mountain
bike, please contact us at info@b-w-inter-
national.com or +49-(0)5451/8946-0.
aYou 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
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.
3.8 In contrast, the left pedal has a left thread
and is therefore opened in a clockwise
direction.

bike bag B&WB&Wbike bag
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
and V-brakes), you must initially take out
the cable on the brake arm. Hold the cal-
liper with one hand and press the brake
pad or brake arm together. In this posi-
tion, the mostly barrel-shaped nipples of
the brake cross-tension or tension sleeve
(for V-brakes) can be easily taken out.
3.3 For hydraulic calliper brakes from the
company Magura, you open the quick-
release lever on one brake side and pull
the brake out of the holder.
3.4 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.
iIf necessary, read your general instruction
manual and the chapter on “handling
quick-releases” and “removing wheels”.
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 quick-
release 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.
gMount 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 transport-
ing a bike with hydraulic disc brakes.
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.

32 33
bike bag B&WB&Wbike bag
3.1 Slide the quick-releases into the ASF
mounting elements. Guide the springs so
that the thin areas of all springs are point-
ing 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.
3.4 If the fork doesn’t t, you must adjust the
mounting element by loosening and slid-
ing on the front cantilever.
3.5 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 10-12 Nm.
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.
3.8 Switch to the lowest gear with the right
gear lever so that the rear derailleur is fully
on the inside.

34 35
bike bag B&WB&Wbike bag
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.
3.4 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.
3.5 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.
3.8 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.

36 37
bike bag B&WB&Wbike bag
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.
3.4 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.
3.5 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.
ATurning 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.
3.8 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.
iIf there is any space left in the bike bag,
you can slide a well packed helmet and
even packed cycling shoes into the cavity.
