The link I had to instructions for folding no longer works. Wheels come off, pedals, rear derailluer, seat post comes out and handle bar stem comes out. None of the cables or chain are diconnected. I put pipe insulation on the seat and stem, wrap the chain and sproket in a plastic bag, put a shower cap on the free wheel.

On my wifes bike the kickstand comes off so it fits in the case. We've been on three trips so far with them. Well worth it.
