Which inexpensive hard travel case
I'm looking to buy an inexpensive travel case. I expect to use it once every 2 years or so. I've seen positive reviews of the B&W International Bike Box II. The PBK Bike Travel Case also looks interesting. Links below. Please let me know your thoughts on these and if there's something you've used and recommend other than these in this space please let me know.
Thanks

That second one has some bad reviews re: being too complicated for TSA employees to re-close. That is not something you want. When I flew with a bike I used a CrateWorks plastic box. It's pretty simple. One time a TSA agent was so inept that when I retrieved my bike I discovered that the relatively easy strap system had been tied in a knot rather that buckled.
These days I ship my bike to and from the start of tours. You can get good pricing from BikeFlighs and ShipBikes.
