[Yak] Traveling by air with the BF

[Geof Gee]

I think that the main problem is with the big chainring being relatively close to the edge of the suitcase.  A styrofoam block with a slit for the big chainring wedged between the chainring and suitcase edge works well for us.  No bent chainrings so far!

Subject: [Yak] Traveling by air with the BF

My wife and I took our new Fridays from Chicago to Wash. D. C. on Amtrak in
the BF suit cases and it all worked great.  D.C. has lots a great paved
trails and you can ride all over the mall and museum areas.   From past yaks
I have seen that some people have had some bent cranksets when traveling by
air.   I have ordered another set of crush protectors since we plan to do
some travel by air later this year.    Will this be enough?   Am I just
paranoid?   What have been the experiences of those that have traveled by
air?
