Duct tape foam pipe insulation around all the tubes to protect them. Remove the pedals. Use the luggage (for a trip of that distance there must luggage eh?) for packing. The bike will be fine.
The rack is OK but I'd worry about theft. Pipe insulation & bungee cords or Keven's straps can secure the bike & protect it from damage. Hanging it's not going to hurt a thing. dougP On Friday, February 12, 2016 at 5:22:33 PM UTC-8, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: > > If you hang it outside, you'll probably get some paint scuffing from > the contact points of the rack.
