Anyone know where to get the straps that I see around the outside of the 30" Samsonite that everyone uses for their folders. I got one of the cases for my BF but I would like the added security of the straps also.

I bought mine at Target. I used two small bolts w/washers to attach the strap to the bottom of the case.

What department at Target? I will swing by and pick some up.
Along those lines is there anything special you do when packing the bike in the case?

I found them where they keep the suitcases. They have a buch of travel accessories.

The most important thing to remember for packing is to use a crush protector. Mine is a simple PVC pipe with a flat disk on each end.

I went to home depot but didn't find any disks.
Would you mind telling us, where you found them? what are they made of?

Thanks

Found this on google
You can get a crush protector from BF for $6 or you can go to Home Depot and
make your own for about $5.50. It consists of 2 single hole lamp-holder
covers (made by Red Dot), 1/2 inch PVC tubing cut to whatever width your
suitcase is, and two 1/2 inch PVC male adapters, threaded on the male side
and unthreaded on the female side.

Thanks. I knew that BF had them for $7 plus shipping, but thought I could make a couple of these for $5-$6.
