Subject: Has anyone ever rent QR?
IM Lake Placid is almost here, so it is finally time to make travel arrangements. There are so many horror stories on the internet about airlines mishandling or misplacing bicycles and about the hassle of breaking down and reassembling your bike that I would rather avoid all that. So here are my options as far as I know:

1. Tri bike transport $450. Several threads on this forum have expressed satisfaction with this service. The price is prohibitively high.

2. Rent Quintana Roo $399. I haven't found any threads about their bike rental service. Does anyone have any impressions? The price is actually lower than transporting my own bike.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is my first destination triathlon and my first ever full iron distance.

I'm renting for IM CDA - the PRSix DI2. Found very little online discussion about it. This is the third year they are doing it. I have noticed that response from most is "You should always ride the bike you train on." Since my training bike is a 10 yr old aluminum - I just can't convince myself that I'll get a better result spending $400 to ship it and assembling it myself. So I'll have a superbike and some QR support for that bike onsite. I pick up on Thursday before the race.

QR Team was very responsive to my emails and questions on fit, delivery, etc.

Hope that helps! Good luck at Lake Placid!
