Good travel case | |
| Rating: |  |
| Couple of previous reviewers had issues with the concept of taking the bicycle apart. However, this will be common to all travel cases and I review it as such. Disclaimer: I cannot provide a direct comparison to other brands - in the past I have only used a sturdy cardboard bike box from a local bike shop (one in which high-end bikes are usually shipped). The case is very sturdy, which makes it slightly heavy. If you have a larger frame bike, it will be tight. Don't be surprised if you have to locate a YouTube video to figure out how to put it in the box. Just an inch of extra width would help, but it is doable if the axles are removed (+/- derailleur). Once the bike is in, you can add some more equipment as there are pockets of space that are not used up. The wheels are sturdy and work great!I have used this box on several trips (air and ground) and was impressed with the protection it provided. When flying, do not check this in as oversized luggage - it is true, some airlines will not take a box of these dimensions. However, if you check it in as "sports equipment" or "bicycle case", virtually all of them will take it. In my experience, there was no weight limit when checking it this way. The prices for bike transport have gone up lately, but this applies to all bike boxes, including this one. I give it 4/5 stars for the limited width of the box. | |

Fits it all | |

| I borrowed this box to fly a mountain bike across the country for a race. Everything fit just fine and Delta took it for an oversized fee.On the return trip the total weight came in over 50lbs (bike is <25lbs) and had I to take out a bunch of stuff just to get it to 52 lbs at the checkin. Eventually they let the 2lbs slide and decided not to charge me an extra $90 for the 2lbs over weight.The good:I was never worried about bike survivingThe case is easy to rollThe not so good:Expect to be charged for oversized luggage ~$175Be prepared to pay $90 more if you're overweight | |

This case is great | |

| I have used this case for the last four years. I want to say the case is extremely durable. I have packed my cross bike with a rear rack in it and had no damage. I do take the derailure off the frame to keep from damaging it. Ten trips down and more to come, the case is great. The airlines do charge an oversize fee, but now they also charge for the second piece of luggage so it doesn't hurt as much. | |

Dissapointment from Thule | |
| Rating: |  |
| As a novice touring cyclist, I bought this case to use for finishing a cross-country tour. The idea is great: a sturdy hard shell to protect your bike in transit. The high price is even justifiable: my bike cost five times what the case did, so its probably worth the price for protection from rough handlers. However, if one followed their format and instructions for use, they would end up with a bent derailleur and a few broken spokes.By far the largest problem is the thickness of the case. If it were just three or four inches thicker (thickness being the smallest dimension of the case), it would work beautifully. But as it is, you can only fit a nice thin road bike with pencil-thick tires in it. I ride a Cannondale touring bike and it has thicker and wider tires than a road bike; this is standard for touring bikes. The Round Trip certainly does not accomodate my bicycle.In order to make it fit, I have to sandwich the bike between the two wheels and use none of the included padding/dividers (I'm left with just the two shells). I also have to take the axles out of the wheels to reduce their thickness, which means I have to take even more tools on tour to put it back together (even more weight). I understand if they were trying to design the case with a maximum cubic volume in mind[...], but I pity the mountain biker that tries to use this case. They should specify exactly what size bike you can use with it or at least comment that its designed for thin-frame road bikes and not touring road bikes.Again, good idea, but not worth nearly four hundred dollars for inadequate space. | |

Too Big for Airplanes | |
| Rating: | |
| I purchased this product to fly with my bike to Portland for the Pacific coast trail. However, it is to large to even qualify as oversized luggage on most carriers. I have not found a carrier that will accept it even paying for oversize container. It has nice wheels and would be ideal for luggage. [...] It is a very good way to ship a bike when properly packed although I used extra padding than they gave me. It performed much better than cheaper plastic and cardboard my friends used.Check the airline website and the dimensions for this product and you will see it is just a few inches too big. | |
