EVOC Travel Bag Pro or something else?

Those SW dimensions are odd, because of course if they are linear inches nothing would work. It would seem odd to say that you can ship a bike, but then publish a size limit that no bike box would meet. I wonder if they might mean max length/width dimensions?

I have an older Scicon hard case, that I use for my 58cm trek Emonda (with seat mast, which is the tightest factor). I’ve done a dry run with my 58 checkpoint, and it looks like it won’t be an issue even though the frame is a bit longer, but the seat post is fully removable.

I would love a way not to remove the bars, but I would rather deal with that than go with a soft sided case. I think if I got a new one I’d look hard at the Pakgo as well, it looks good. But I would definitely stick with a hard sided case.

And I speak as someone who works around planes all the time, and did my time as a baggage handler many years ago.
