I thought I would see if I could fit my Tern into a standard (albeit large) suitcase.

This was the procedure:

Remove rear rack
Remove both mudguards (they’re not coming to Madrid)
Remove frame magnet clamp

Then:

Chain off
Rear derailleur off and zip tie to frame
Wheelset off, QRs remove and bagged up
Pedals off
Crankset off
Seperate handlebar and tower


That was about it!

I also packed the tools required for assembly and disassembly in Madrid

Quick Link pliers
Square taper crank extractor
4/5/6mm allen keys
Zip ties

Anyway, photos to follow. Disassembly was about 20 minutes and should be faster next time.
