@Sibreen asked about bags in another thread, so I figured I would throw up my review of what i have.
I bought a Tioga Cocoon bag when I first got to Japan.
I ride a 60cm bike and it just did not want to fit and it was a complete PIA to work with.
But the time I finished packing my bike, roughly 10 minutes seemed to have passed.
Riding with Half fast to Koga city, I Dean put his bike in a bag in a minute or two.
Since we actually had the exact same bike, i investigated.
It was then mentioned to me that MontBell sells a bag my bike would actually fit in.
7000Y is a bit pricey, however I can pack my bike away in less than 2 minutes and it fold up much smaller than the tioga. The bag folded up easily fits in my middle pocket.
My only complaint is there seems to be some wear on the back where the rear skewer is located. It seems on the train the bike has rubbed a little back and forth with that being the pressure point. It is nothing a small patch can fix if it ever rubs through.
