  1. Can anyone recommend a travel case for a full suspension
    mountain bike. I'd rather not have to dissassemble (seat,
    handlebars, etc. ok, but no fork/shock removal). I've looked
    at Bike-Pro's, and I like everything but the price. Anyone
    use a Trico case?

    BikePro is worth the price.

    Mine has served me well on many trips.

    Having said that, I'm going to be borrowing a Velosafe II (
    triall3sports.combike.html ) for a trip
    overseas next week. I figure I can get two bikes and the
    case just under the 99 lb airline limit by putting a fork in
    my "normal" luggage.

    I've used the Trico quite often. With my bike and the case
    plus stuff like a helmet, camelbak, shoes, and some tools it
    comes to about 65 pounds but it has wheels built in. It fits
    everything very nicely without crushing it. I have small
    frame bikes so I don't know what would happen with larger
    frames but I only need to remove the wheels (they go on the
    second layer) and remove the bars from the stem (not remove
    the stem from the fork). The whole process of reassembly
    takes less than 5 minutes and you don't have to worry about
    reseating the fork again.
