USEFUL INFORMATION
The first operation to be performed if you want to complete bike transportation by air is to disassemble the bike correctly.
The operations to be carried out on your bike are as follows:
- Deflate the tires: inflated tires could explode.
- Loosen the screws that hold the handlebar stem to the fork in order to detach the handlebar. You don’t need to disconnect the brake and gear cables: simply lower the handlebar parallel to the fork, wrap it with some cardboard, and secure it to the fork with adhesive tape. Protect the parts where you apply the tape with additional cardboard or similar material if you don’t want to damage the paint.
- Remove the pedals: this is a crucial operation as the pedals could puncture the cardboard since they protrude.
- Remove the rear derailleur: be careful when removing the derailleur from the dropout as it is one of the most delicate components of your bike. In this case, you don’t need to disconnect the cable, just ensure the derailleur is well protected with cardboard.
- Take off the saddle and secure it to the frame wherever it causes the least inconvenience.
- Remember to bring all the necessary tools with you to reassemble the bike upon arrival (hex keys and wrenches should be sufficient).
Place your bicycle in the cardboard box and proceed with the check-in for your flight!
