• agreed. i don't think its the way to go. just wondering if any integrated/semi-integrated cockpit setups could introduce enough slack into the lines so the bike can be disassembled as above

  • I think as more and more and more bikes get fully integrated everything, right down to the budget spectrum of bikes, bike boxes/bags will adapt more so that the integrated bar/stem need not be removed a la the Scion Aerocomfort 3, rather than bike manufacturers make bikes easier to disassemble. I know it looks clean up front but I can't even imagine trying to work on a hydraulic integrated everything bike as a 'home mechanic' now. Would properly infuriate me.

  • thank you but that DOESN'T help the fact that i spent £500 on a bag last year that I am yet to use and may well be redundant in a few years lol

    thankfully the smart people at Giant realise how much of a farce fully integrated cockpits are and the 2022 TCRs still have cables flailing in the air....
