WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
  • If your bike is damaged by the baggage handlers the maximum pay out for the total claim is £900.
  • Baggage manglers, constrained by time restraints, and a less than sympathetic appreciation of the value of your steed, receives the bikes at the top of the conveyor, he then literally skims the bikes in there boxes and bags in what ever order they receive them, to his colleagues up or down the baggage hold, they are then stacked 5 to 6 high, there is no time or desire to put the stronger boxes to the bottomof the pile, so the bottom bag or box will have at least 70 to 80kg resting on it.(This information was obtained from a baggage handler, and is not mere speculation)

    Bike box alan is the only lightweight box that does not compress even when stud on , further its the only box manufacturer that dare record on film,(see our web site recording) the box loaded with a £3000 Colnago carbon bike that is thrown out of a speeding car, which resulted in no damage to the bike , and only superficial scratches to the box.
    Bike box is designed and made in the UK by a life long traveling Ex International racing Cyclist with advanced engineering qualifications, Bike box we believe is the safest and most cost effective way of transporting your bike in style by air.

TECHNICAL

DID YOU KNOW? BIKEBOX CAN PROBABLY REPAIR YOUR 'SCI-CON' BOX. JUST SEND A PICTURE BY MOBILE PHONE OR EMAIL FOR A QUOTATION.

BIKEBOX IN DETAIL.

1.Case.

The bikebox is manufactured in specialised robust plastic. A highly durable plastic that will not crack or splinter.

2. Toggle catches.

Rival manufacturers boxes and bags use a variety of fragile plastic toggle catches and zips / straps to hold the sides together. Bike box believe in longevity choosing robust serviceable steel catches.

3. Wheels.

The most vulnerable part of any style of case is usually the wheels. Bike box use’s robust twin bearing rubber bound wheels. Mounted on energy absorbing rubber pads to ensure silky smooth, quiet operation. .The bike box is designed for smooth surfaces and trouble free operation, with the added unique advantage that the wheels, (unlike our rivals) have serviceable nuts and screws to facilitate removal in the event of damage.

4. Anti Slip Bosses.

These minimise the risk of the bike box slipping of airport trailers on transit to and from the airscraft.

5. Integrated Seat Posts.

Bikebox is one of the few manufacturers that can cater for the 6ft 2in rider with integrated seat post. Straps are provided to accomodate the bike. Usually by removing the seat top section of the slide over post. Taller riders may have to remove the chainset.
