700 Grams That Turn Your Cardboard Bike Box Into a Rolling Suitcase
Trail Borne Gear's RollPack Nomad adds wheels to any cardboard bike box for one-way trips. 700g, 50lb limit, installs in 2 minutes with a multi-tool.
Trail Borne Gear's RollPack Nomad solves a specific problem: you're flying somewhere with your bike in a cardboard box, and you'd rather not wrestle 50 pounds of awkward through three terminals. Two 3D-printed wheels with sealed bearings bolt onto any standard bike box in under two minutes using self-tapping screws and your multi-tool. Total weight is 700 grams. When you ditch the box at your destination—because that's the point of a one-way system—the wheels stash in a frame bag or bolt to a water bottle mount for the return trip with a fresh box.
The 50-pound weight limit should handle most road and gravel builds, though a heavy e-bike or loaded touring rig might push it. Two wheels instead of four means you're still lifting one end, which is fine for rolling but less ideal if you're managing a kid, a carry-on, and a coffee. At $30 the value hinges on how often you fly one-way with a bike—race weekends where you ship gear home separately, or point-to-point bikepacking routes. US-only shipping for now; international requires a special request form, which adds friction if you're planning something like a European tour. For the rider who regularly boxes a bike and hates airport logistics, this is a cheap, light upgrade to cardboard. For everyone else, a proper hard case still makes more sense.
