I'm getting ready to pack up my bike again to hit the trails in California, and remembered this thread from the Suvarnabhumi airport forum. - Thought that it should be referenced here on the cycling forum.

if you can find a new Cannondale box they are wider and much better to ship with.... Same volume but easier to pack and more protective of the bike.

The new Cannondale boxes are 47" x 12" x 28"

Even if you have to pay a little to get one then they really nice... broader base so it doesn't fall over as easy also.

I have a padded SCOTT bike bag. Works great.

Here is a nice bicycle "suit case"!

Sounds good, 12" width would allow for padding at the rear axle where mine usually rubs through the cardboard. Any idea who's got a Cannondale box for sale?

When I checked into proper bike suit cases they were sweet but quite expensive.

would be a longshot here in CM but I have seen a few Cannondales out and about. Probably more possible in BKK. When you back in the US try to get one and hold onto it.... It's so much nicer.
