Packing Bikes with integrated cables, stem, bars

Hi….

Anybody tried to pack a Scott Addict RC, or any other integrated cable bike in a bike box? (Scicon solid bike box) Usually handles bars are easy to remove and turn but. It tried with the new bike which has fully integrated cables/stem etc.

    Yeh good luck with that, I have two such bikes, and if I couldn't drive with it in the van, I'd be looking to hire.

    I can't really seeing it being viable.

    If you are on facebook, there is an Addict page, and a Foil / Plasma / Addict page, I'd ask on there if I were you.

    bba have a box designed to take bikes with integrated bars...

    if they don't leave enough slack in the cables to use your existing box, you could sell it and get the bba, i've used their regular box for many flights over 12+ years, still fine
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    I own a 2021 Trek Emonda SLR7 which has an aero cockpit. Last year I rode it abroad. I tried packing it in a normal bike box alan, not a chance. I ended up buying a bike box alan easy fit. Expensive but did the job.
