*Anything* larger than 62" will incur a hefty oversize fee nowadays and that is in addition to the checked baggage fee on most airlines. The point of couplers is to get your bike into a standard sized piece of luggage to avoid those fees. My single is a 59cm bike, but I can get it into the case. It's kind of like Tetris.
