In theory, yes, but in practice, 700c will not fit inside the case.
559 will fit inflated in terms of diameter but the wide of the tire
can cause problem. Another issue I think about is the pressure inside
the cargo bay, I really don't want the tire to expand if the cargo bay

Atmospheric pressure is roughly 14.7 psi. If you have 80 psi in your
tires at sea level, the relative pressure at altitude can't exceed
about 95 psi. Hardly blowout territory for most tires and rims.

I'm not sure where I read it, but supposedly you could take a fully
inflated bike tire into outer space and it wouldn't explode. The
lower cabin pressure in the hold of an airplane shouldn't affect your

A touch of grease at the sleave could take care of the creak.
In general, Nitto handlebars are very well made and should last at

I look at $50 for a set of bars compare to medical deductible, it seems
cheap insurance. I dunno, maybe I'm a worry wart.

The thing that is scary about these kind of breaks is that they can happen
without warning. I watched a JRA type break on a friend¹s mountain bike
while he was descending a relatively smooth trail years ago. Not pretty.

The Trek frames are racier but the do feature nice low BBs and the rear

Nicer, IMO than what RBW uses. The remaining Trek lugs are fine, but nowhere
