I did a test-pack on my Downtube VIII-H last night and while it does fit into the 29" Samsonite Oyser it does require a pretty complete dis-assembly. How do people pack all the misc. stuff like pedals, folding stem, stem post, and other metal parts that will be banging around in the case with the frame?

Anybody have some tricks they would like to pass on? I like the zip-tie and gaffer's tape ideas. I was thinking of making some 3mm neoprene bags and sleeves that might pad things, but wonder what others are doing...
