If you are referring to a normal cardboard box that pre-assembled bicycles arrive in at a bicycle shop, then most bicycle shops should be able to help you. Some give them away and others charge. If you are thinking about a hardshell transport case then you going to have to spend some money.
It's a bit of hit and miss. The front and rear derailleur can give problems in terms of just ceasing to function and unfortunately they are not easily serviceable or repairable in this regard. The 2nd gen 11spd rear derailleur with improved clutch was better and more reliable. I had no issues with the shifters.
I had this happen on a fairly new front derailleur, fortunately they replaced it under warranty. That in itself tells me it not a easy fix, but would think that in the right hands it could be saved.
Built myself a set of Nextie NXT45AGX ( 29 internal, 40 wide, 45 deep ) rims onto a pair DT350 hub's. Wheels have been bomb proof thus far and have plenty volume, running 44c tyre's. Also depends what tyre width your frame can handle !
Hi Hubbers
Trying to find out what size Bottom Bracket a Titan Racing Vanquish would use. I can see that it is press fit however dont know if its 41mm or 46mm shell diameter. I dont have the bike with me so difficult to tell.
cheers
The costs aren't insane if you shop smart. However they are still not always the cheapest and most reliable options. Strong, Light and Cheap normally do not fall in the same sentence when it comes to bicycle products.
I would opt for the carbon frame as I would think the compliance would be better than that of aluminium. You can always upgrade groupset later on of you not happy it, aslo confirm tyre clearance as previous post suggested as bigger is better.
