About this deal

So whichever bike box or travel bag you choose, making sure you’re completely covered for any damage in transit will soften the blow should the worst unfortunately happen. I’m looking for airline that will take our bikes from Iran to India. Could you five me some info on which airline you took. I am going to France this summer, last time, in 2014, I used my bike case, but its a hassle finding a place to store it etc. This time I want to take it in a cardboard box and recycle that when I get to Paris. I will simple get another one for the return trip. Question, when I go to the airport (LAX), do I leave the bike box unsealed so that it can be inspected? Or do I tape it and the inspectors have tape to reseal the box?

If you’ve never removed your pedals before, you might find they’re quite stiff. Depending on your bike, you’ll need a pedal wrench or 15mm flat head spanner. If your bike is more modern, potentially an allen key. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the subject matter. It covers all the essential points and leaves the reader with a solid understanding of the topic. He’s made his living from bikes in various forms, from mountain bike guiding in France and Spain, Trail building in New Zealand and Canada, and working as a bike mechanic in the French Alps for many years. With a hard shell offering superior protection, the case is held together by a self-tightening strap system. PRO TIP: Before removing your seat post from the frame, mark your seat height with masking or electrical tape (you could do this with a marker as well, if you don't mind the mark on your post). When you get to your destination, there will be no guess work involved! Protect BikeYour front wheel should be able to slide beside the triangle of your bike frame. You may need a helper to hold the sides of the box out as you slip the wheel inside. Once everything is together, make sure no parts are moving and everything is well-padded. Add padding to the seat post and cover the seat (to protect the material). With all the will in the world, it’s worth remembering that baggage handlers have been known as ‘throwers’ for a reason, and a reason that doesn’t bode well for your beloved bike.

You can get a cardboard delivery box from your local bike shop and use that instead of a plastic bike box. Some people always remove the rear derailleur before travelling. We'd say that you're okay to leave it in place if your bike isn't resting on it (the frame is suspended) and there's no danger of the side of the box or anything inside pushing against it, which could cause the hanger to bend. Be particularly careful with disc rotors (they can get bent), chainrings and the rear derailleur, all of which can be damaged quite easily. Want to improve your mountain bike fitness?
