I used probably 20 reusable cable ties to package it up very solid.
Did you consider leaving the front wheel in the fork? I think that's a traddy .jp rinko move that I've seen?
Yes I considered it. The issue is keeping the brake hydraulics connected and it was an extra variable to do that while keeping the bars the right distance from the frame.
It was more of a priority for me to leave the bars attached to the fork than the front wheel.
Yeah the rinko stand seems overkill, especially if you're carrying the bike yourself. I bought some sheets of hdpe and reusable cable ties a while ago which are useful for this sort of thing but far from necessary.
Also great opportunity to buy like 5 voile straps which I always found useful in addition to the straps that come with the montbell bag.
