Packing: Place Bike in Case
Yellow sleeve over
folding stem.
Crush
Protector
Front wheel
placed here.
11. Make sure the folding stem has the cover fitted as shown and
the seatpost has the cloth sleeve installed as shown. Place Quick
Release skewer and multitool in tool bag.
12. Travel Trailer.
Trailer
Wheels
If you have also purchased a
Travel Trailer, then it should
be fitted around the bike as
shown.
One trailer wheel
should be placed underneath
the bike.
13. Install the top of the Crush Protector by sliding it through the
bike and into the cap placed in the case in step 9. The crush pro-
tector is a PVC dowel with a couple of flat caps on the ends. This
piece is a critical bit of packing material: it spans the case so that
luggage dropped on top of your bike is supported by the dowel
and not your bike.
There should also be plenty of room for your bike helmet and other
riding accessories.

Unpacking your tikit ® from case
14. Close TravelCase Lid
Close the case lid, tucking
any loose cables and felt bags
into the case. Then starting
with a side buckle, latch the
lid closed. It is okay if the
lid is tight, this will help
keep the bike from bouncing
around. If you cannot close
the lid, check that the front
wheel and trailer tires are
properly positioned and are not too high. Finally, you should be
able to feel that the crush protector is the highest point of the case.
To unpack your tikit® from the suitcase:
1. Remove crush protector (top cap & dowel), seatpost/saddle, and
any other accessories not attached to bike. Now lift the bike out of
the case, careful with the handle bar/stem riser assembly as those
housing cables can get tangled and kinked.
2. Raise the seatmast and allow the rear end to swing down - don't
unfold all the way yet.

3. Now unfold your

cables aren't tangled).

brake. (see page 28-29)

IMPORTANT: If you choose to leave the front fender off make
sure the bolt is still installed on the fork.
7. Double check all quick releases and clamps. Now you are ready
to ride!
