20. Drop Bar Position
If you have drop bars, set them into the
case with the right brake lever at the rear
of the case and the left brake lever at the
front of the case. The drop bar ends will
need to be hooked under the rear wheel
(left bar), and under/behind the mono-
tube (right bar). It is not necessary to have
the bars partially connected as shown.
Figure 20 also shows the future place-
ment of one of the trailer wheels.

(ignore trailer wheel).
Packing: Handlebars
18. Place Saddle
Put the saddle in the front
right corner of the case, with
the nose pointing up to 12
o’clock and the large end of
the saddle against the front
of the case. The seat post
should slide under the rear
wheel, pointing at the cas-
sette cogs. Check that the
seat post is not “lifting” the frame.

19. Place Handlebars
If you have flat bars or H-
bars, nest the bars next to
each other (with the rein-
forcing sleeve pointing in
the same direction) on top of
the rear wheel towards the
front left corner of the case.
If you have not already done
so, add the striped vinyl cov-
ers to the end of the bars.
