I was leaning very heavily towards the Post case earlier this year for my trip back home to OH. The problem was I wouldn't be able to get one before my trip. I believe they were going through an update to the bag. Anyway, I found a Pika bag on Craigslist for $150...easy choice. I really liked the Pika and flew on AA so no extra fees. My only problem was the lack of wheels.

I would have a Post case if I could have gotten one before my trip.

I’ve flown multiple times with the Orucase Ninja and love it. No issues packing. No damage. Easy to get on the European high speed trains. Haven’t paid and additional airline fees since it passes as regular checked in baggage.

I used a Pika Packworks case for years (decent, but a bit big and tough to carry), then an aluminum Buxum Box (flashy, but unwieldy and difficult to travel with) to the Post Carry Case (nearly perfect).

I'd definitely recommend the Post Case.

Never seen that brand, I bought years ago the one that performance used to sell and wasnt bad but the darn box was giant compared with the one you use, the nice about the performance is that is 100% plastic you can jump over it and nothing will happen but IMO clearly yours is more flexible than mine in the sense of minimalistic design... awesome... man...

The frame in the Post case is metal or something?

Post frame is some foamy material. The cool thing about it is that it can be removed and you can make the case into a back pack almost and carry it or even just for storage.

The advantage over the Orucase is that it has wheels as well as straps. Also has wheel bags built in so easy to pack wheels as well.

My two bikes that I would travel with both measure out where they would fit in the 135L Post bag. Both are 54’s. One’s a gravel bike with 38C tires.

Any advantage of getting the 150L over the 135L to pack extra cycling clothes/gear?

Or, better to go with the 135L to keep size and weight down?
