I've also heard that packing a disc brake bike is fussy and more challenging if you have to remove the tires for packing.
Any great guides on adjusting disc brakes? I've look up a variety of videos, online tutorials, and even had a bike shop mechanic give me some tips, but my results have been mixed at best.
I will agree that packing a bike with disc brakes (assuming that you must remove the wheels to pack) is more difficult because you have to be more careful with the positioning of the wheels. But, I have traveled many times with my Origami Dragon in a suitcase with no issues.
