* With a small
tikit™
, depending on your handlbar and stem posi-
tion, the bike may now fit directly into the suitcase. However, with
most bikes, it will be necessary to remove the saddle/seatpost and
slide the stem riser out of the stem. Both of these tasks are easily
achieved with a 5mm hex key. We recommend you mark your seat-
post and stem height prior to removal. Tuck your stem/handlebar
and saddle/seatpost around the bike as shown in the picture on the
next page.
Packing:
tikit™
in Suitcase
8. Overfold your
tikit™
by folding
as normal, but keeping the seatmast
up and pulling up on the rear wheel
towards the mainframe. You will
know this has been done correctly
when you can see light through the
hole in the frame latch (A).
9. Place one crush protector cap
in the center of the case. Place the
folded bike into the suitcase with
the chainring towards the left side of
the suitcase and the driveside (right)
crank arm pointing toward the rear of
the case.
8. Install the frame protector between
the chainring and mainframe to pre-
vent damage (B). Lower the seatmast
again.
10. Install handlebar covers and stem
cover. Fork is turned so brakes face
the bottom of the case. This will leave
the stem folding on the top.
See pic-
ture on page 26.
7. Place gray bag over fork and
brakes, turn fork so brakes face to-
ward the bike.
