  • I don't need another bike. I just need to either take the forks out, or even just rotate them might be enough. I need to get the length to 85cm, but apparently they're not too strict. Then put it in a bag.

    Forks out will definitely do it. I'd probably have to unbolt the brake caliper, but that doesn't look like a big deal. Rotated will get to about 95cm which might be enough, and wouldn't need to take the caliper off.

  • Actually, yeah, I didn't really look at the bike. There might be enough slack (or I could add a longer hydro cable) to allow the forks to be removed so it might be possible (if messy) to meet the size requirements with hydraulic discs. Aerobars are awkward, but I guess they'll sit mostly parallel to the frame - do you know the width limit of Poorostar?

  • There is only the 85cm limit so it can be a cube. So no need to do things to make it narrow like turn bars, take pedals off.

    I would either turn the bars down so the aerobars are pointing down, or just take them off as not too big a deal.

    For me, discs are the main issue as I know nothing about them! I deliberately had my front one fitted with the hose routed externally so I think I could just unbolt it if needed, and snip 2 cable ties, to get the fork out, which I don't think would be a massive deal.
