Hi guys, I am off to Spain in a few weeks and wondered if anyone has any experience as to whether it is necessary to let out air of suspension and shocks? I am getting the impression that it isnt really but some people do to be on the safe side...? Anyone with any knowledge greatly appreciated |

People do it to lighten their bikes as airline charge so much, everyone know air is very heavy  Yer its just as a precusion but to be honest the luggage compartment is pressised as well, when was the last time that you got home from your holidays with an exploxed deodarant can |

I would not worry it helped to let air out my shock to fit the enduro in my bag. I also load up my bag with gear. pads protecting bits.  As it was 32kg allowance with British airways to geneva.my bag has no wheels so its lighter but a chore to carry

If u let it down it it would technically be bottomed out which if it got a whack In a soft bag wouldn't be great |
