Tribike transport is worth every penny. Its a drag that your bike costs as much as an airline ticket most of the time, but it sure beats racing on a borrowed bike, or not racing at all.

It's fine to do this but you are always limited by the Max liability the airlines pay out, which almost certainly won't cover your bike or come close and if your bike is either heavy or oversized you are unlikely to see anything at all
I don't put anything extra in with mine, I use a soft shell so its not used as a challenge to break it and where possible I fly direct. For 25-30k miles per year for last two years its worked

Apparently the race director knows about it and they have been scouring the bike shops and asking local mechanics if they know where bikes can be rented. Nothing available at this point.Rhymenocerus wrote:

Ditto -
every IM Expo I've been at there are at least half this many bikes sitting at exhibitor tents that could easily be re-purposed.
