Harry2 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Anybody any experience of this? I have a 26" Dahon folder and not sure whether to take it packed/folded or put it on as a 'normal' bike. (I ask because on the flight over, folded, the rear Derailleur got mangled & was a 2+ week wait for spares & repair) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdimike Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I took 2 bikes from Phuket to Udon Thani by Thai Airways Air Freight. It was not only less expensive but they handled the boxed bikes very well. The boxed bikes looked just like when I left them at the airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I am a big believer in detaching the rear derailleur mounting bolt and putting a baggie and some padding around the derailleur and then taping to the chainstay. It's fairly easy and quick and prevents the hangar or derailleur from getting bent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
