It all started with compact bike bags for flying. We didn’t set out to create a whole new category in bike travel cases - we simply saw bike fees as an obstacle that stood in the way of reaching our goals in cycling. Ten years later - now we're ‘recovering roadies’ and more about the experience of riding rather than our performance.
Now don’t get us wrong - high performance gear is what we do - all products have a lifetime guarantee and use the best materials available. But we’ve come to relish the experience of riding, seeing nature's sights, and meeting people around the world. In fact we think performance and experience combine synergistically to form an axiomatic truth - by having long-lasting gear you can travel, meet more cultures and see more sights, which only reinforces your commitment to making the world a better place for current and future generations, and flows right back into sustainable, long-lasting gear for your adventures.
You guys are due for an updated video on this (please). I used the case to transport one of my bikes to Spain, where I left the bike, then checked the empty Orucase to fly back home. When I "dissassembled" the case, to be checked at the airport, I felt like I had open parts of the case that would snag on something in the luggage carousel. I know people probably rarely check an empty case, but a detailed video on how to prepare the case as checked luggage would be great. Thanks.
It would be great if you created a more detailed or at least a better video of the instruction. How did you secure the handle bars and fork to the downtube? You just cruised right past the point.
There are too many combinations of bike cable routing, bar shape and size, stem length, and hydro/electrical cable lengths to make any one-size-fits-all approach. When flying with my personal bikes, I'll either not secure the bars/fork, or you can use a ski strap to attach it where it makes sense to.
@@orucase Understood, but i think providing a couple of examples would be helpful. I wrote that message the night before travling to Spain, so I was a little frustrated. My bike made it to/from Spain without a scratch, and I even had a baggage handler at the Denver airport compliment the bag (specifcally the wheels), so I am definitely happy with the bag!

Using my Orucase was easy with my externally routed rim brake frame because removing the fork was easy. Now I have an internally routed Trek Emonda road bike with hydraulic brakes and it's nearly impossible to remove the fork. I had to remove the left shifter (and bar tape, etc.) to give the hose enough slack in order to pull out the fork. At first I tried disconnecting the hydraulic lines but I stopped that idea. Is there an easier way to remove the fork? Any ideas or videos? Thanks a lot
This is a good bag, but you guys are all marketing and no instructions on how to actually use the product. Walk us through each and every step please. If someone can’t take the pedals off they’re not figuring out these other questions here in the comments.
The best thing about this case is you get your mechanic’s certification getting your bike pulled apart and packed in. The worst thing is if you’re already not a mechanic it takes four hours to get it to work.
Just got a Smuggler bag for Christmas and looking for mounting instructions, especially how to secure the head tube strap. This video doesn't show any close up detail! The bike is blocking the view.
I love this video: it's not a well rehearsed "speed run" style pack video in a studio workshop with everything lined up to prove that it can be done quick. It's messy, windy, and you forget things like taking the derailleur off, drop and pickup your top cap and _still_ it takes less than 7 minutes!! Honestly, this is the video that sold me on the Orucase for my long travel 29er MTB.
My Diverge has an X-Fusion Manic Dropper installed - I have NEVER taken my bike apart and I know I should learn...but how do I pack it with the x-fusion dropper? I don't want to take it apart, as someone who is newer to this and will only just have learned to disassemble it for packing, I do not feel comfortable messing with the dropper cord or assembly. Do I have to take the seat post off? I see the seat was left on in this video, is the dropper compressed. (I read not to keep it in the compressed position unless using it.) My last question is, would you recommend I get the B2 MTB version instead of the road bike one if I leave the seat on? My bike is a specialized S-Works Diverge, size 52, and the tires I have on right now are 42s. Thanks in advance!
Why do you use this bike for a video on “internally-routed” brakes and cables? This bike has an external hose at the front! What would be the appropriate procedure for a bike that has the hoses and cables going though the head tube like a Specialize Tarmac SL7? Also, shouldn’t the fragile top tube not be protected from the handle bar dangling over it like that and the RD removed?
They don't mention it, because it won't work, and they know it. There is nothing I have seen that fits a bike you describe, other than a great big huge cardboard box - short of removing the brakes and rebleeding later.
Would have been nice to see a detailed video how to use this padding system with a disc brake bike and how to fit the bike into the B2 Bag with the fork and the handlebar removed. With special attention to how to position the fork and the handlebar while packing. Your packing video quickly skips these important steps.
These instructions gloss over the most critical detail of how to orient the handles bars and fork. Simply cannot figure out to make a size 58 frame fit.
There are too many variations on cable routing into the frame, the length you or your mechanic cut your cables/hydro, and bar/stem shape and size to make a one-size-fits-all approach to how to position your bars. The best is to pop the stem off the steerer tube and then rotate the bars in different directions to find the position that puts the least strain on any cable/hydro/electric that allows the bars to not protrude past the edge of the case.
