Planning a holiday with your Brompton bike? Protect it during travel with this top - notch hard case crafted by B&W. Specifically designed for Brompton Bikes, it's incredibly easy to move around. It comes with a pull - out telescopic handle and high - quality inline wheels. The hard case features a vacuum - moulded strike - proof ABS plastic shell in black, tough enough to withstand most airline baggage handlers. It has a strong aluminium frame, four free - running swivel castor wheels with reinforced axles for easy movement at the airport. The wheel mounting points have double - shell thickness. There are two hinges, two flush - fitting locks on top of the aluminium frame, a lifting handle at the top, and a telescopic handle for pulling. A riveted security strap with Velcro fastening adds to its security. The external dimensions of the B&W box are height 33cm, width 64cm, and length 70cm, and it weighs approximately 8.5kg. If your Brompton has a telescopic or extra - long seatpost, you'll need to remove the saddle. Bromptons with a rack can fit just fine, but a folding pedal is required or one pedal needs to be removed.
Using this B&W hard case for your Brompton bike is a breeze. First, if your Brompton has a telescopic or extra - long seatpost, take off the saddle. If you have a rack on your bike, it will fit in the case. However, make sure you either have folding pedals or remove one pedal. Once your bike is ready, place it carefully inside the case. Use the riveted security strap with Velcro fastening to secure your bike in place. When moving the case around the airport, you can use the telescopic handle to pull it or the four swivel castor wheels to wheel it. There are two flush - fitting locks on top of the aluminium frame to keep your bike safe. For maintenance, wipe the vacuum - moulded strike - proof ABS plastic shell with a clean, dry cloth regularly. Check the hinges and locks from time to time to make sure they are working properly. If the wheels seem to be getting stuck, give them a light cleaning. Remember to store the case in a dry place when not in use.
