2.1
Turn the rear derailleur back slightly and
continue to hold it in place with one hand
so it doesn't fall uncontrolled due to the
spring tension when you release the
screws. Unscrew the connectors fully.
2.2
Protect the chain bar either with air cush-
ion film or foam tubes e.g. hot water
tubes. Pack up the removed gears and
bind them to the middle of the protected
bar with copper wire.
2.3
Insert the shorter plastic spacer into the
drop end of the fork. Slide the longer
spacer into the wheel axle mounts on the
rear assembly. Fix the holder with plastic
coated wire or cable binders to the chain
bars or the drop ends.
Please note that there are different spac-
i
ers for racing bikes and mountain bikes.
2.4
Loosen the front screws on the stem of
your handlebars. Remove the cover and
take out the handlebars. Pack the handle-
bars in a bag made of film.
Alternative:
2.5
If your stem cannot be opened at the
front, loosen and remove the above
Aheadset® adjustment screw plus the
cover. Open the side clamping screws on
the stem by one to two turns. The stem
should now be able to be moved and can
be taken from the shaft with the handle-
bars.
2.6
Slide on spacers in place of the stem,
which you secure with the cover and the
Aheadset® adjustment screw. The frame
and fork remain as one unit and you
thereby reduce the packing size.
2.7
Insert the bottles into the holder on the
frame so you do not forget them. Protect
the whole frame with insulation tubes
or with air cushion film. Lift the frame
up slightly and place it with the chain
wheel into the supplied foam support for
the bottom bracket. This is how you can
prevent the chain wheel and/or bike case
becoming damaged.
2.8
Place the prepared bike in the B&W bike
box. The handlebars or handlebar stem
unit should not collide with the frame
tube or fork and the bowden cables
should not be bent. Protect the critical
areas with additional foam.
