I’ve owned a lot of soft cases but I’ve gravitated toward hard shell cases because of the protection offered and because most of the airline rules today say that a hard shell case is required to keep the airline from tagging the item as “fragile.”</p><img src="/articles/images/6/184656-largest_finished.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>According to B&W, this isn’t the case I should be showing you all. This one, the Bike Box II, is its best selling model. But it’s not what triathletes buy. Because B&W is a German company and has a close relationship with Canyon, I suspect its opinions are somewhat colored by Canyon’s exhortation against not removing the pursuit bar on its Speedmax SLX (the shipping of which is discussed in <a href = https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/?post=6096947>this Reader Forum thread</a>). But I wrote B&W back with pictures of a <a href = https://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Tri_Bike_by_brand/Cervelo/Making_a_Cervelo_P-Series_Your_Own_7415.html>P-Series Cervelo I’d just built</a> slotting pretty easily into this case. I’m going to write about the case in the context of tri bike travel.<br /><br />Why do I like this case? First, it costs $299 ($265 on Amazon as of today). Do I have your attention? Second, it’s rather smallish; and third, the case weighs about 23 pounds, depending on what all you count in the weight. We’ll get to why those last 2 points are important.</p><img src="/articles/images/5/184645-largest_unassembled_shells.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>The Bike Box II is called a “box” instead of a “case” because, I guess, it’s less substantial than their cases. But there’s nothing insubstantial about it. It’s a rugged, hard shell case. But it is unique, I’ll say that. It’s got 2 robust wheels on the back and 2 steering wheels on castors in the front (or the other way around, the castors in the back, which is my preference). The case is made of a pair of disconnected halves. It only becomes an actual case when assembled. Of course you could say that about, say, a Tri-All-3, but that case (a fave of mine) has a separate top and bottom. This case has a left and right.</p><img src="/articles/images/1/184651-largest_wheels.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>The wheels need to be assembled on the case, if you were to buy it unassembled via mail order. The whole assembly process took me about 20 or 30 minutes. Here are the parts and the tools I used, though an electric tool is unnecessary.</p><img src="/articles/images/5/184615-largest_tools.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>The case comes with a bunch of protective aids which I believe (if I recall correctly) I’ve seen on Canyon’s bikes when they arrive in boxes. These are handy foam blocks with Velcro-like closures that will protect the tubes from contact.<br /><br />This case also comes with a pair of wheel bags. I have a lot of wheel bags and thankfully these bags are made slightly larger than my others, so that they nicely accept a 700c wheels with inflated <u>gravel</u> tires! There are also 3 foam pieces, layers, like lasagna layers, and you put the “filling” in between the layers. Finally, ther’es a hard, like a Styrofoam, block inside of which sits your big chain ring. You’ll see this in the image below.</p><img src="/articles/images/1/184621-largest_layer1-2.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>I hope you don’t mind if I share a few tips on how I pack bikes as I discuss packing this P-Series in this case. We’ve always had to use devices to keep the airlines (or Fedex or UPS) from smashing our fork ends or dropouts in compression. The P-Series is a thru axle bike, and I cut a couple of pieces to length out of a piece of 3/8” aluminum conduit, and when I take the wheels off I put the thru axles back into the frame and fork, thru the conduit. That protects the frame and it keeps my thru axles from getting lost.</p><img src="/articles/images/8/184598-largest_interior_tube.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>I always take the RD off the bike when shipping. You can tape the RD to the frame if you want or wrap it in bubble wrap but, screw it, I’m lazy, I just leave it sitting there inside the rear triangle. I take it off because this is the most likely bad thing to happen in shipping: a bent derailleur hanger or dropout. Taking the RD off (5mm Allen Wrench in most cases) inoculates your bike against this problem.<br /><br />I promise you, your new disc brake bike came assembled to the dealer with a couple of shims inside the calipers. Ask your LBS to give you those, and shove them back inside the calipers when you travel. Otherwise you may find your calipers sort of closed up upon reassembly.</p><img src="/articles/images/5/184655-largest_RD_brake_calipers.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>You may find that it’s inconvenient, when you take the stem out of the steerer, to put the top cap back on the fork and have that fork flopping all around inside the frame. I know I do. It offends some sense of appropriateness in me. So, I travel with a pair of 20mm headset spacers, and when I take the stem of the fork I put those spacers in. Stems are almost always about 40mm in height as they pass over the steerer, so any combo of 40mm of headset spacers does the trick.</p><img src="/articles/images/4/184644-largest_spacers.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>Speaking of discs, you may want to remove the your rotor from the wheel. This is why Shimano’s Centerlock standard is so much better than 6-bolt. I <a href = https://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Tri_Bike_by_brand/Cervelo/Making_a_Cervelo_P-Series_Your_Own_7415.html>wrote about that here</a>, so, read there if you want a little more info on that.</p><img src="/articles/images/8/184638-largest_layer2.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>There’s one layer of foam on the outside, against the shell. Then I put in a wheel and then the frame and a second layer of foam. I also put my handlebars – I didn’t need to disassemble any wires or cables when shipping this bike – on this “layer.” Then the other wheels and here’s a bag (not included) inside of which I put the seat post/saddle, and the front hydration bottle, and my pedals. Then the last layer of foam and I’m done. Ready to close it up.</p><img src="/articles/images/1/184641-largest_must_overlap.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>Now for the genius of this case, and why it can be so strong while remaining so light. You might think that you simply place one side over the other. No. The two sides overlap several times. It’s very clear where they do overlap.<br /><br />There is a guide, on each shell, where it’s clear that one shell slides inside the other. That’ll get you started. From then on it’s pretty straightforward.</p><img src="/articles/images/0/184620-largest_inside_clip.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>It took me one bike packing exercise to figure it all out. Now, when I use this case, I lay one shell flat on the ground, and it’s the shell with all the straps attached. Strap are laid out, extended out, like your snow angel arms. Once the bike is packet, the other shell goes atop, and the top shell slotting into the bottom shell’s guide.<br /><br />Once the top shell is on, appropriately overlapped at every interval, the straps from the bottom shell are affixed (with Velcro). Then it’s pretty much ready to roll and I place the Bike Box II upright on its wheels.</p><img src="/articles/images/9/184639-largest_handle_vecroed.png" class="img-responsive" />

Then it’s pretty much ready to roll and I place the Bike Box II upright on its wheels.</p><img src="/articles/images/0/184650-largest_stretch_to_engage.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>The last thing to do is close up a big strap that spans the entire case. There’s a pin, around which the clasp pivots, that you must insert into a receiver with which it mates. Then you flip the clasp over, it locks, you’re done.<br /><br />If you find the clasp not sufficiently tight, there’s a pin on the clasp that you can remove with a Phillips screw driver, and the placement of that pin in 1 of 4 holes makes strap yet tighter, if need be (I didn’t need to adjust it).<br /><br />Now, let’s talk about size and weight. My first use of this case was last month. I and the wife flew to Rome, gravel bikes inside, rolled our cases to the train station, took a couple of train rides to Florence, threw the cases into the back of a taxi, drove to the airport to pick up a rental car. Now came the moment of truth. The car was a <a href = http://www.fiatpress.co.uk/press/article/new-fiat-tipo-hatchback-and-estate-debut-at-the-2016-geneva-motor-show>Fiat Tipo</a>. Go ahead, click that link, look at that car and tell me if it inspires you with confidence, if you’re traveling with a pair of bike cases.</p><img src="/articles/images/7/184647-largest_bw_cases.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>As you see the cases slid right in (one was this Bike Box II, the other a B&W Bike Guard Curv). This case barely cracks 90” inches when you measure length + height + width, and the airlines variously require a case not to exceed either 115” or 126” or thereabouts using this measuring system.<br /><br />Second, this Cervelo P-Series, when loaded – and this was no small bike, it was a size L, or size 58cm – weighed 47.6lb. I had room for, and could’ve placed in there, my helmet and shoes. For this Italy trip I had all of that plus my floor pump and it came in at exactly 50lb. That’s the magic number.<br /><br />It isn’t that the airlines will fly your bike as checked luggage. It’s that it’ll fly as checked luggage <i>if it doesn’t exceed 50lb</i>. This is the tricky part. You may get an extra 20lb if you’re flying in a forward cabin. Or not. If you’re flying coach on an airline that grants you this new same-as-checked-bag benefit, 50lb is the max. This is where the weight of the case becomes paramount.<br /><br />The cases were extracted from the back of the Fiat Tipo in the Strada Bianche region of Chiante, and rolled over cobbles and gravel. Back into the car and to a Schwable tire launch in another part of Florence. They were packed in and out of the cases several times. Then, finally – long story of bad navigational principles – they were muscled over 4 bridges spanning Venice canals, placed on a bus, then the airlines lost both cases for 3 days before they were finally delivered home, cases intact, bikes fine.<br /><br />A couple of notes. First, the case B&W most sells to triathletes is the Bike Guard Curv, the other case we took to Tuscany. It sells for about $800. Great case. I’m just struggling to find the extra $500 in value over the case reviewed here. Frugal by nature, I just... can't... find a good reason to spend more than the $200-and-something this case costs.<br /><br />Second note: The overlapping of the shells might be a bridge too far for TSA. Mind, I didn’t even think about this on last month’s trip and the Bike Box II was disassembled, checked, and reassembled (properly) by TSA. However, you may want to ask TSA to check it in your presence at the point of departure. (I do this with every bike case, though I forgot to do this on this recent trip and all went okay anyway.)<br /><br />And finally, if you look at the bottom of our pages you’ll see B&W is a Slowtwitch Partner. I first saw the bike cases made by B&W at Interbike last year (which was the last year of Interbike). I admired the cases, spent a lot of time in this company’s trade show booth, but I argued against any sort of partnership with Slowtwitch because I just didn’t intend to write anything about these cases editorially. We just left it there.<br /><br />What changed? I sent an email back the day after I read about <a href = https://www.slowtwitch.com/Tech/Airline_Bike_Box_Fees_2019_7360.html>American Airlines’ change of posture on checked bikes</a>. (Airlines don’t generally announce they’re making travel better, cheaper, more comfortable for us.) “Now I have a narrative,” I wrote, “and I expect to be writing a lot about travel.” They recommended I try their cases and they sent some out. I asked for the lesser expensive cases not because of the price, but because their light weight works in conjunction with these new bike rules.<br /><br />This is the first of a number of bike case reviews forthcoming, including the Trico Ironcase, Tri-All-3, and others. Here’s <a href = https://www.b-w-international.com/>B&W International</a> if you want to read more about the case, tho this company has a U.S. office and warehouse, so cases purchased will generally be shipped to you from the continent in which you live.<br /><br />Note that we have a new “superthread” on the Reader Forum, <a href = https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/Slowtwitch_Forums_C1/Triathlon_Forum_F1/Ministry_of_Travel_P7033811/>Ministry of Travel</a>, which will be a curated thread designed to inform and answer any questions you all may have about anything related to travel (you or your bike) that relates to this sport we’re in.</p>

<p>Delta Airlines announced a change in its airline rules that brought it to parity with American Airlines: Checked bikes will travel simply as a checked bag, no extra fee. We <a href = https://www.slowtwitch.com/Tech/Airline_Bike_Box_Fees_2019_7360.html>reported Delta’s near-conformity</a> with American’s new rules.<br /><br />Were we premature? A <a href = https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/?post=6982657>thread sprung up on the Slowtwitch Reader Forum asking about this</a> and, indeed, the language was confusing to some. While most readers are now reporting bikes-same-as-checked-bags, a few were charged $150 per trip and had to appeal to Delta after their travel for relief.</p><img src="/articles/images/1/184671-largest_in_airport.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>Baggage must be less than 62” (length + width + height) to be considered not oversized. Are bikes an exception to this? “Bicycles… are allowed as checked baggage on most flights and fees … apply.” Seems straightforward. “Bicycles weighing over 50 lbs. will be charged the applicable excess weight fee,” which is in keeping with American’s new rules. <br /><br />However, the policy goes on to say that when dimensions, “exceed 115 linear inches (292 cm) or exceeds 100 lbs item not accepted.” The policy as written does not explicitly say that bicycles between 62 inches and 115 inches travel as regular checked baggage, with no oversized fee applied.<br /><br />Delta Airlines has a department that handles questions from the media. I placed this question to them. "The 'Standard baggage allowance and fees… apply' argues that bicycles go as regular checked baggage," I wrote. "But the policies on the website are not clear about whether an item (bicycle in particular) between 62” and 115” are simply allowed on the plane (but subject to an oversize charge) or whether it travels as regular checked baggage. Are bicycles, under 50lb, hard shell case, charged as regular checked bags? Or are they subject to oversize fees?"<br /><br />The Delta media representative wrote back with the following: “There are no specialty fees for bicycles. Bicycles are charged as a standard checked bag, and standard baggage fees (including overweight and oversized fees) can still apply.”<br /><br />Nevertheless, ticket agents can be confused by language that isn’t 100 percent clear. Wrote one Slowtwitcher, “I flew at the end of July before I knew about this updated policy and it was a tale of two. Leaving Los Angeles flying to Michigan, was charged $150. Leaving Michigan for Los Angeles, was charged $0. So, I got home, found [the Forum thread referenced above] and called Delta to tell them about my $150 charge. They refunded my money and apologized. So, the policy does exist!!”<br /><br />The tricky part isn’t the size, it’s the weight. Read today’s review of <a href = https://www.slowtwitch.com/Travel/B_W_Intl_Bike_Box_II_7422.html>B&W’s Bike Box II</a>. With a tri bike (especially) the case itself places the travel in peril of exceeding 50lb, when the case itself weighs more than 25lb and many cases do. Weight of the empty case was never that much of a consideration to me when making a bike case purchase. It is now.<br /><br />Note there is a new "superthread" on our Reader Forum, as of today, <a href = https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/Slowtwitch_Forums_C1/Triathlon_Forum_F1/Ministry_of_Travel_P7033811/>Ministry of Travel</a>, which will be a curated thread answering any questions you have about travel in the context of swim, bike and run (whatever "Travel" may grow to encompass).</p>

<p>We have an evergreen, curated superthread on our Reader Forum called <a href = https://forum.slowtwitch.com/forum/?post=7033811>Ministry of Travel</a>. It’s a week old, it’s already busy, and it’s there because of American Airlines’ bike policy from earlier this summer, followed by Delta’s near match in its policy.<br /><br />When we ask you, 44 percent say you’ll bike will travel underneath you, in the plane’s belly, more often than before because of these new rules. More to the point, if you’re an airline, 1 in 3 of you say you’re likely to change carrier loyalties because of this new policy. And of those who do are loyal to a carrier who doesn’t have this new liberal bike policy (e.g., United as of this writing), 73 percent of you say you intend to change your loyalty. (Even if you clicked that radio button out of frustration and not stark reality, if I were a non-conforming airline I'd be concerned.) Many of the remaining 27 percent say you just can’t change your loyalty because of the airport you use.</p><img src="/articles/images/5/184945-largest_183127-largest_Airline-bike-box-luggage-fee-update-2019-delta-american-Slowtwitch-7.jpg" class="img-responsive" />
<p>On the Ministry of Travel thread the issue has come up, and unique bike cases like the B&W Bike Box II (below) I recently reviewed is a – pardon the pun – case in point: Is there a way to inoculate yourself against the TSA agent who doesn’t repack your bike correctly? I had a conversation with TSA’s media liaison, Lorie Dankers, and BrookHunter Whelchel, a transportation security manager at Sea-Tac Airport (Seattle).<br /><br />My specific question for Mr. Whelchel was, “Is it appropriate - is there a convention known to TSA agents - that we as travelers ask TSA for an inspection of our bikes in our presence?” The answer is yes.<br /><br />The protocol is, “Let the air carrier know when your bag is checked that you want the bag to be screened in the traveler’s presence,” according to Mr. Whelchel. “Let the air carrier know, they’ll direct you to the on-site [TSA] station; there may be someone from the airline present, assisting the TSA officer. If the passenger says ‘I’d like to be present,’ that’s perfectly fine.”</p><img src="/articles/images/3/184943-largest_finished.png" class="img-responsive" />
<p>“For the actual screening process, the officer will open up the bag, do a sampling of the inside of the bag, move around items in the bag, sample the toiletry bag, the bike repair kit, if there are no alarms or security threats, the agent will repack the bag while the passenger is there.” Mr. Whelchel added that, “For security the passenger can’t repack the bike, however the passenger can guide the officer when repacking the bag, same as we do with passengers with firearms and pets.”<br /><br />I asked if this was limited to certain airports or universally available and Ms. Dankers said, “Because every airport has a unique config, sometimes you’ll encounter something a little different, but what is across the board is the access to make that request. TSA will try to work with that traveler within the limits and the airport and its footprint.”<br /><br />These TSA folks asked that I relay to you all a particular limitation to this. Every piece of baggage on a plane that originates outside the U.S. that connects to a flight inside the U.S. will be subject to search, and that won’t be done in the presence of the traveler. This includes flights from U.S. carriers. For example, last month I flew on an American Airlines flight from Madrid to Ontario, California, changing planes at Dallas DFW. My bike case was, presumably, inspected at DFW. I asked if TSA has pre-screening in any foreign airports, such as is the case with U.S. immigration, and the answer is no. I asked if there are any countries that have screening relationships with the U.S., where if a plane originates in Ireland or Israel that by virtue of their comprehensive, qualifying screening that baggage is not TSA screened at American hubs. Nope.<br /><br />I asked about guidance on the lithium batteries that are used in bikes with electronic shifting – both the batteries installed on the bikes and spare batteries we might take in either checked or carry on baggage. And, while there is <a href = https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/packsafe/more_info/?hazmat=7>watt hours guidance already listed</a>, I was surprised to find out that TSA has nothing to do with batteries. “It’s a safety issue, not a security issue,” said Mr. Whelchel, “so the FAA will need to provide that guidance.” Ms. Dankers kindly offered to help me find my correct liaison at the FAA for this, and when I know you’ll know. I'll ask about CO2 cartridges as well.</p>
