Hey Barbara,

You will have a tricky time fitting racks and panniers into a bike case this size. I end up packing my racks and panniers into a second checked duffel bag that contains the rest of my personal items (tent, sleeping bag, clothes, tools, etc). Just make sure you keep track of all the bolts and mounting hardware for the rack, otherwise you could experience a nasty headache trying to get it all setup again.

Thanks!

It will be great to get the bike into a suitcase, but what about the fenders and racks? How does one transport them on a plane? We'll still have the panniers, sleeping bags, tents, etc. so we don't want to get dinged for too much luggage.

You note "light grease" ~ but S&S notes extreme caution using anything OTHER THAN the recommended grease. Please refer to their web site for information on what grease to use.
