22. Packing Materials
At this point you should add any remaining packing protection
pieces to the frame. The various covers and sleeves will be labeled.
Because each bike is custom made and outfi�ed, there is some
variation in the selection of packing materials. Common pieces
include:
• Seat mast covers (grey felt sleeves).
• Frame tube covers (blue vinyl sleeves).
• Crank arm covers (blue vinyl sleeve).
• Crank arm bag (dark blue felt bag).
• Chain stay covers (striped vinyl tube).
• Steerer tube cover (short striped vinyl tube).
• Handlebar end covers (long and short striped vinyl tube).
Your own bike may have other pieces. These will be labeled accord-
ing to where they go. Generally, there is extra room in the cases
to accommodate accessories such as shoes, clothing, and even hel-
mets. As you travel with your tandem and gain experience in your
own customized packing process, you may discover that some of
the original pieces are unnecessary. You may also feel that you
may need some extra protection with new accessories. Feel free to
experiment, and let us know if you have a great idea. Here are some
examples of packing materials.
