[CR]Information on Traval Cases - Trico Iron Case

I'm very pleased with my Trico Iron Case .

The shell is quite strong . The straps are much stronger than they need to be ( that's good ! ) .

There are little rubber feet for it to stand on , and little wheels for it to roll on ( but the wheels are not where you might think ) . There's even provision for one of those little tiny luggage padlocks ( which would probably do nothing but put little dents in other peoples luggage ) .

The sheets of foam it comes with are cut to fit the inside of the case , and do a great job of keeping the wheels separate from the frame .

Take the wheels off . Take the stem off . Take the pedals off . Pack it up . It'll be about as safe as it can be .

I sent the empty case to a bicycle shop , to pack and ship a bicycle I'd just bought . Worked out great . They even used regular packing tape on the outside , to make sure that nobody opened it during shipment . I hadn't thought of that little idea ! I can't recall what it cost to ship it empty . But if you ship it empty , don't forget to insure it . It ain't cheap to replace !
