Travel Case?

OK, I've used the search and did not find what I was looking for. What I
need is a guitar type carrier for airline travel. Its got to be able to
take a beating and be fairly compact. I have a Nimbus ISIS Trials.

Thanks,
Cody

Are you taking about a hard or soft shell case? The only carriers I've
seen are custom soft (nylon or canvas) shells that zip closed. There
should be some thread in the archives that describes how one is made.

Incidentally, I've never seen a carrier for a trials uni. If you took
off the seat (w/seatpost) and pedals, you might be able to fit your
Nimbus into a duffle bag.

Don't worry about damage... your uni will see much more abuse being
dropped off of high ledges and thrown down stair sets... the baggage
handlers can't do nearly that much to your uni... you'd hope

Have you actually tried a soft shell guitar case? You might be able to
stretch one around your Nimbus... just a wild idea.

I've had good luck in the past flying across the country and packing my
26" and 24" (on seperate occasions) wheel with the tire, pedals and
seat post removed in a fairly simple pull duffle bag. Checked it right
in and got it back in perfect shape. I don't know about a 36er
though...
