I recently purchased a Surly Travelers Check. I wanted to be able to bring a bike with me while traveling, but I didn’t want to pay extra airline fees for my bike, nor did I want to carry an awkward cardboard bike box around.

At first packing it was really difficult and frustrating. I had a hard time finding good instructions on the internet about how to pack this frame. I’ve done it enough now that I’ve gotten pretty good at it.

These instructions should apply for pretty much any S&S bicycle. You can also view these as a slideshow on Flickr. Click the ‘Show Info’ button to see the instructions on top of the photos.

Anyway, we will now turn this

into this!
