Rear End - Bike Friday Family Tandem Traveler User Manual

Packing: Front End
29. Add Pedal Bags
Start to fill in some open
areas with the smaller felt
bags. The pedal bags, tim-
ing chain bag, and tool kit
can fit along the rear of the
case. Try to keep these small
heavy items packed snugly.
Otherwise they can bounce
around the case.
30. Insert Seat Masts
Pack the captain stem (in the
red felt bag) and the two seat
masts (in their felt sleeves)
along the front of the case
under the front wheel.
31. Insert Crush Protector
Slip one of the crush protec-
tor disks into the bo�om
center of the case. Thread
the crush protector dowel
through the front wheel
and into the socket of the
lower flange. The top flange
should be nearly the highest
part of your bike. This piece
is a critical bit of packing material: it spans the case so that luggage
dropped on top of your case is supported by the dowel and not
your bike.
