Ahh David the difference is you are using the SOFT case and I am using
the HARD case. Yes, of course I deflate the tires, but they still
barely fit and I had a problem with them going out of true (as did the
following poster) unless I removed the front tire. By the way I wasn't
using trick wheels - regular old Open Pro's with 32 spokes.
Perhaps the soft case is more "packing friendly" but I imagine it may
have some other issues vis a vis airline handling...
