Well, I just packed up my 60cm Breakaway Road (first trip with it this weekend). It looks okay, everything well protected.

1) Front frame/fork/headset/stem on bottom of case, front brake removed and kept with handlebar
2) Rear wheel, cassette-down (I find having this wheel above the front-frame half helps reduce the bulge on the case backside)
3) Handlebar tucked around rear wheel at right of case. Bottles and cages in free space between shifters
4) Rear frame half, dropouts in upper left of case, rear derailleur and left crank arm removed
5) seat/post between chainstays at free space to left
6) Front wheel on top.
7) accessories: seatbag velcroed to wheel in free space at bottom right, crankarm, skewers, pedals, breakaway collar in black musette bag, tools in black cloth bag both cinched tight and lashed to wheel at bottom left.



NOTE: Per the advice in this thread, I removed the water bottles to hopefully avoid having TSA rip it open.

I actually fly out 6am Sunday but I'm racing on Saturday so I can't put other crucial items like shoes in yet.
