I am flying to Cozumel for the late November Ironman. This is my first event where I will need to bring my bike. I know Tri Bike Transport is available, but it is pricey (I think around $450). Here is the dilemma: should I buy a travel case and pay the airline fees, or just pay Transport? Clearly, this depends in part on how many other times I will use the case. Assume I will do so multiple times.
Is it simple to reconnect the handlebars, seat, petals, etc.? Will I need to pay a mechanic to do all of this for me in Cozumel? Does the disassembly involved in using a bike case screw up the gears and brakes. I have aero bars.
I apologize for the remedial questions. I am pretty new to cycling and bike mechanics.
