I'm heading over to France in a few months with my carbon road bike and need a sturdy bike suitcase that can withstand the punishment of careless airport baggage handlers. My requirements are;
- Must be extremely sturdy and hard
- able to fit frame, wheels and everything else INSIDE the shell
- must take into account my dreadful knowledge of bicycle assembly!
I'm dreadful when it comes to bike mechanics. Basically I can remove wheels, unscrew pedals, unscrew the bolts on the stem to make the handlebars fit inside - and that's about it! I wouldn't have a clue touching the rear derailleurs or the brakes. It's quite pathetic as I use my LBS to do almost everthing for me. So I really need a case that is big enough for me to do the bare minimum in terms of dis-assembling the bike.
Thanks
