Any how-to on how to pack a p5 in a bike case for airtravel? How much does the bike has to be split apart? What about hydraulic breaks?
Recently flew with my P5 and used an Air Caddy box worked great but a bit bulky. No diassembly required just remove front wheel and angle aero bars down to fit in the box, approx. $150 with optional wheels, definately get the wheels. Check it out on AirCaddy.com. The other option would be a Scicon triathlon bike case about $500-$600, will probably go this route if I travel more. I wouldn’t recommend a box that requires too much disassembly due to internal cable routing and hydraulic brakes.
There is a good video on Cervelo’s site showing this. I flew with a p5-3 and it was dead simple.

There are 2 more more photos, too.

I guess some of that depends on what type of case you are using. I owned a SciCon soft case. All I do is remove the aerobar extensions, add the deraileur cage and some padding. Takes me 15 minutes at most. 5 minutes to reassemble. Flew twice with it like that.
