I'm flying with a dh bike with dual crown forks and it won't fit in my old Planet X bike bag. Is there a similar bag that will fit?
I could use a box but most of them require cutting down and I don't trust the baggage handlers with a cut down box.
The bike is a 26 inch Devinci Wilson Carbon.
Pull the spring out and compress the fork down, secure with a strap to stop it extending.
or take the fork off and secure it against the frame
The forks are Boxxer World Cups, so I could let the air out. I'm still not sure it will fit, though.
I have the CRC bike bag, and did exactly what Sir HC has suggested when I needed the bike in their- didn't fit otherwise
By dropping the forks you are also protecting the stanchions. Surprised it wouldn't fit in the bike bag.
I always drop the forks out of the crowns and bubble wrap the whole stanchion.
HC: I haven't tried yet as I'm not flying until August and just planning ahead. I don't really want to dismantle the bike at the moment, unless I have to.
I'm going by how tight my shorter travel and wheelbase Morewood Kalula was in the bag.
