Will the TSA allow bike parts in your carry on?  Has any one tried flying with disc brakes, (mechanical), handle bars, pedals, a crank set? 
Has anyone been told do not pass go with your bike parts?  I am referring to domestic flights in the USA.

Never tried it. But it would seem unlikely that they would let you bring them on board especially the handlebars.

I've carried pedals, helmets, panniers, and a V-Brake on a plane with no issue. There is nothing on the TSA site that tells me you can't carry it (at least the last time I looked). I think it's legal to carry a whole bike on the plane if fits in the overhead compartment to be honest Smiley

Anything that could remotely be construed as a weapon will be red flagged.
