9 Things I Wish I Knew Before Flying With My Mountain Bike

Mtb Trail Hub Season 1 Episode 20

Here's 9 things I wish I'd known before flying with my mountain bike! 

- Leave yourself plenty of time to check in. It can be stressful. Be prepared to be searched. 
- Take a spare roll of tape
- Choose your box, cardboard, zip or solid. 
- Use your pads as padding for the bike. 
- Pack helmets and shoes in hand luggage.  
- Check size allowance for boxes(some don’t forget through conveyer)
- Pedal removal 
- Gas canisters small ok, large not. 
- Don’t overpack the box, it will be too heavy. 
- Loosen everything on the bike. Put your axle through for strength.
