Bike hard cases for traveling
I'm heading to Colorado in September for some riding with my old team and possibly a stage race, then Moab next April, and France next summer for rides around the TdF. I want to take my own bike, so I thought I'd look into a hard bike case. Does anyone have any knowledge about which to get and if any are more or less acceptable to airlines - though I will probably ship the bike to Colorado, I'd still like to get a case.
Can one rent them? |

I purchased this guy from performancebike.com: http://www.performancebike.com/shop...ategory_ID=4415 It was on sale, and I was moving to Korea from Indiana. I took Northwest and it was free. No damages on mine. Contact your airline. When I showed up at the airport with a big ass box, employees at the airport were making bets. Best luck, Soo-re

Re: Bike hard cases for traveling
It was my first hard case. So, I don't have any experience but my own and also never seen any other cases. I wouldn't stand on top of it, but it took the beating quite well. I changed the flight three times and it held up. Yes, the plastic was sort of thin I thought. Though, it got the job done. I can't say it's superb but much better than a thick cardboard box.
