    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?
