Canyon bike bag / case

Has anyone used the Canyon bike case called the BikeShuttle before? If so I'd be grateful for your feedback/comments. Thanks.

Hmmmm. No. I haven't used the Canyon BikeShuttle. BUT, I have used other hard side bike carriers, and I'll bet I can tell you the pertinent points to look for.

First - will your frame fit the case? Are you extremely tall, and do you have a tall frame? Then beware! It might be advisable to give the case a trial run, and see if your frame and wheels fit inside.

Second? Well, past #1, I can't think of much. You might check how well it fastens together. That could break. Certainly a concern would be how will this package get treated when you show it to the airline counter? If you were travelling by train or auto, you wouldn't be using this. So it must be by air.

Hi, Thanks for your comments.
I have used many different soft & hard bike cases and I have a Scicon hard case and I like it. It's just that I live in on an island in Europe and there isn't much of a choice in terms of equipment/accessories here. Canyon, as a on-line only retailer, is a good option for me as their equipment & accessories seem to be of good value. Hence my question about their case in particular. From their web-site the case looks nice & sturdy and it appears to be of a good design & specification. I just wondered if anyone has first hand experience of it before I get one.
