Traveling with disc brakes

[donalrey]

What's the consensus on this one? Do you take your disc rotors off or leave it on when traveling / packing your bike?

I've never had my disc rotors off when traveling.

I fly with my Hunter all the time. I ALWAYS take off the rotors before packing the bike. There are two reasons:

- The rotors get in the way of packing.

- The rotors could be damaged by those lovely baggage handlers.

It takes about 5 minutes to unscrew all 12 screws. I then put the screws back into the hubs and pack the rotors elsewhere. Never had a problem.

Rotors off. Super easy with centerlock.

I never have taken the rotors off. And never had an issue.

Centerlock makes removing rotors trivial....

[Matt-H]

Never thought of removing them. Never had a problem.

The consensus is clear: take your rotors off! Or don't!
