Hey all,

Im just curious, but when packing a larger FR/DH bike, like a Bullit, with a DC fork, its a good idea to take the fork off/both wheels correct? Im curious to see how you guys pack your bikes.

THanks

i have an sx-trail. because that fork is so tall, it slacks out the headangle, making it impossible to put it in the box with the fork on, AND rear wheel on. i choose to take off both wheels, cause it takes maybe 5 minutes to put them back on, and its a lot easier than having to mess around witht the headset and stem and all that.
(obviously you have to take the bars off, and the pedals off)

as stated above
just take both wheels off and bars and pedals
I wouldn't want my fork loose in the case to bounce around and try to secure any loose parts within the case from moving around
