Bike Cases/Bags Big Bikes
Hi All,
I am looking for some feedback from people who use Bike Boxes/Bags for transporting their bikes, particularly by air. I'd be really keen to hear what solutions people with larger framed, full-suspension bikes have, particular 29ers. I have a Cannondale Scalpel 29er in an XL frame and am searching for a bike box/bag that I can get it into with out have to break it into its component pieces. I think I would prefer a hard/semi hard case to offer a little more protection for the bike.
Ortlieb products no longer available from Wiggle
I happened to notice on Wiggle last week that their usual fine stock of Ortlieb products had suddenly disappeared. I received an email response to my question about this stating that Wiggle is no longer able to ship Ortlieb to Australia for "... legal reasons... " They are still selling Ortlieb within the UK, so it would be possible to re-direct them with a 3PL.
If anyone happens to come across the next best priced store for Ortlieb products please share this on the forum (that doesn't involve a 3PL).

US shipping facility available
If anyone is wanting to purchase items from the US, I have a facility setup with MyUS in Florida.
You can use this to buy any items that require a local address. This includes eBay and shops.
Any number of shipments from multiple sources can be consolidated and sent to Australia as one package.
It's only cost effective for larger items - minimum shipping cost is about US$50, but a complete frame is only $120 ish.
