Due to the lack of cyclocross races down where I live I plan to do a few of the bigger 3 day races next year, which will of course require me to either drive 15+ hours or travel by airplane. I’ve seen quite a few carrying cases out there, but I’m not too certain what would be best for my situation.
What I plan on traveling with is my bike, wheels, and a spare set of wheels. While having two bikes would be ideal in case of a mechanical, I think planning for (at worst) a flat tire requires me to carry just an extra set of wheels. Does anyone have any recommendations on either a good carrying case and a spare wheel carrying case that they’ve found works best? or am I able to get an all in one carrier that would include the frame, wheels and spare wheels?
I’d like to stick with a hard case unless the argument for a soft case can be made that there really isn’t an issue with either or.
