  Bloody hell, I'll just take a pogo stick abroad... maybe I'm just shiftless... tis a REALLY great thing though...

  How the h*ck does it fit in a box? With the right components, your
  bike should fit in an airline acceptable box. Here’s a big list of
  little things I do to save space:

  -Remove the bars

  -Remove the fork

  -Deflate the tires

  -Remove the freehub body with the cassette still attached (easy if you have our Grand Cru hubs)

  -Take off the crank

  -Take off the sliding dropouts - this shortens the frame and keeps those bits safe

  -Rotate your stem so it sits flush with your bars if you have riser or swept bars

  Safety Second! Here’s a list of things to protect your bike in
  transit:

  -Tape up your box where it contacts the frame or the wheel axles

  -Remove your rotors and put them in something flat. I use a piece of folded cardboard.

  -Use clothes as padding. You’re already bringing them...right?

  -Save the rear triangle dowel your frame came with! It will keep your rear from getting crushed while in transit

  What size did you get?
