    Question Advice on wheel bags for spares?

    This year I'll be hauling a set of rains mounted on spare rims with the rest of my gear. Does anyone have a favorite brand of wheel bags (and a tip on where to find 'em) that'll make them easier to store and load/unload?

    I've seen them with ballistic nylon and padding covering the sprocket area - pretty good, but only online via the US. Would prefer to keep my business local.

    Thanks!

    I've seen something like that for car wheels, not bikes. Do you have a link to the ones you found in the states?

    Nice, think I'll swing by... was considering my only other option would be blue IKEA bags... they'd probably fit in sideways!

    Perhaps you should consider your rotors.....if they'll be mounted....the bags wont protect them
