The good thing about BA is they are generous with the external dimensions of these - you don’t have to go for one of the smallest ones (like the original AlanBikeBox). This is a godsend for integrated aero road/tt bikes or full-suspension MTBs.
I have used a guy in Marlow that has a garage full of high-end rentable cases that are pristine, and super easy to pack. Reasonable too, vs actually buying one yourself and storing it.
