Well that's the main reason I worry. I've noticed that with normal drop bars, the end part of the tube is parallel to the bike. At mine it sticks out enough to be the first contact point even when I try to rest the bike against the wall.
Thanks a lot for your instructions of how to take them apart. Maybe I should have a go... just so at least I know how they work before the actual trip.
In general I am quite relieved to read all these positive comments. Thanks a lot !
