One of the most stressful things about interstate or overseas travel with your bike to races is the packing. How will everything fit into the car? Will I make the baggage weight limit at the airport? What If I forget something vital? This week we look at packing your bike for flying.
Dissembling Your Bike Part 1

- Lower saddle by loosening & dropping seat post or pulling it out entirely
