Airline travel case recommendation

[Bernard Duhon]

 

 

Gang,

I'm looking for recommendations for airline travel case.

Hardshell?

Softshell?

Model?

Brand?

 

The case alone should weigh not too much above 20 pounds as my touring bike with racks is pretty close to 30 pounds and I want to keep it under the airline 50 pound weight limit.

 

 

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Bernard F. Duhon

What bike/size? There are road bike/dropbar specific cases, ones for long bike (aka new breed of Riv’s), etc.

I’ve been happy with the Evoc bike bag pro:

My airline travel case

the bike would be a 52 cm.

I would like a case that would accommodate both my dropbar and my touring bike with albatross bars

I use a cardboard box in case I need to ditch it.  I sometimes carry  my packing materials.  Once I shuttled a guys luggage and bike box.  The box didn't seem great.  The keystone piece was like the pizza box plastic thing that kept the sides from collapsing.  I use the rigid foam block for my fork that came w/my bike from Riv.  Make sure your box has something like that.

If you can remove the fork then the Post Transfer Case is a good one.

I am a fan of and have had good luck with the OruCase Airport Ninja. The new one has wheels on it which adds a couple of pounds. I found an older one without the wheels on ebay. Case is something like 12lb. Fork removal is required.

I second the EVOC.  I’m very happy with it.
