NOTES:

Small
: You can experience some interference between the
rear derailleur and front wheel quick release nut. This is worst in
the high gears- the bike will still fold, but it is much easier if the
bike is folded in the low gears (biggest cogs on cassette).
Pedals: The bike can be folded with the pedals in most positions,
but occasionally there will be an interference issue. Starting with
the left pedal at the bottom will always work.

Large
: If you want your handlebars as high as possible,
you will need to loosen the stem clamp and drop your handlebar
height in order to keep the bars off the ground when folded.
Three ways to GO with your folded tikit
1.Walk:
Use the handle sticking out of
the folded seatmast and walk.

You can also cary your
by holding on to the main-
frame of your bike if you have
the 'Quick Transit' bag or by
using the cloth handle bolted
to the top of the frame
(not the seatmast!)
3.Bag it:
Put the Quick Transit Cover
over the bike (see pg. 16 ) and
you can still walk if you have
a front rack on your bike.
You can carry the bike with
the handle at the top of the
bundle.
