HISTORY

Alan is a road and mountain biker with an engineering background in plastics; so when a SCI-CON box came up for sale he jumped at the chance.

The caster wheels had broken through the bottom of the box and 3 of the plastic catches needed replacing, along with the caster wheels.

The repairs were completed satisfactory and it later transpired that most of the local bike shops also had SCI-CON boxes with similar problems.

So whilst fixing them, it occured to Alan, that he could possibly make a better, stronger and cheaper box than the SCI-CON version.

That was back in 2001. Alan is now making bike boxes and stil repairing SCI-CON boxes to this day.

 The bike box is manufactured in g.r.p. Glass Reinforced Polyester. Essentially it is a durable plastic, however unlike our competitors the, skin is reinforced with 2 layers of woven glass matting to give class leading protection, and durability.

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.
