Thule RoundTrip Transition Bike Case Review 

I dont have a Prius anymore, but i honestly think i could fit one laid down in it i can not remember.

i made a jerry rig spacer set. (head tube spacers and zip ties) haha but yeah you need an adapter of some sort. not sure if they sell one or not.

I have slashes. I sold my remedy recently. I prefer the 29er life now.. haha

@@WesGood thanks bro for the heads up, I would get on that 29er life but I'm to short lol feels like a monster truck

yeah im 5'9 ish. but i ride a set up for someone 6'1. i feel way faster when im stretched out.

well, i should say i am faster. feel slower and more comfortable.

I would contact thule. I want to say no, but its possible. In the original product description it says it fits up to an XL mtb frame, but based off of how mine fit... i would be worried about the frame getting damaged even if you got it in.

I did remove the derailleur. However I left the Derailleur hanger on to protect the frame from damage. I would rather replace the hanger than the rear triangle. The case is lockable however you can not fly in america with locks on any luggage.

Wes Good thanks for the response! How do you think this case would hold up strapped down to a van roof?

If it's inside a cage to keep it from sliding probably great.

27.5 and 27.5+ for sure. Im not 100% sure on a fat bike. but i would assume so if you air down the tire. try calling thule!

@@WesGood Im bringing a mountain bike to Thailand, so I hope this case is sturdy enough for that 23 hour plane ride.

plenty sturdy!

So most airlines don't include the same insurance for a soft case vs a hard case, so that's one thing to consider. at least for southwest, hard case is free insurance up to $10k value. soft case you have to pay $100 for that same insurance on your bike. also i have many carbon frames, so the hard case was just an easy sell to me, made more sense. I think this case is just more user friendly and a better overall protection system. the issue was not the width with the derailleur hanger, it was actually the overall length. in order to fit my frame in i have to remove the derailleur from the hanger and the hanger actually pokes into/rests on the inside of the box. the best advice i would give to thule to combat this would be to allow the forks to move up and touch the front, because that would be less harmful in the long run. unfortunately they can't make it bigger, per airline regulations, so as bike frames and geometries change i guess they somewhat have their hands tied.

Wondering if you ever made a decision? In the same debate now and would love to hear your experience

yes. these are always gonna be $50-$75 to fly with. regardless of weight, the size requires the upcharge.

@@WesGood I am confused here, what do you mean by regardless of weight?

As in inspecting the bike? Already done. Ran through a full service check, frame check, all in all everything is great, no adjustments need to be made, all parts are intact and working properly!

Wes Good I mean make a video showing off your bike build aka a bike check.

ahhh sorry im not hip with the times I guess. haha I will def have to do that! I have a few builds I am really proud of!
