I'll be wary of applying what is essentially a Japanese technique to a foreign environment, without due consideration. I'm not saying it won't work, but I don't know if the US or European luggage handlers will know what a Rinko'ed bike is and treat it with appropriate care, especially if one uses the proper Rinko bag that are unlined. There must be some reason US and European accessory manufacturer seem to offer mostly rigid or structured bicycle carriers. As for making bikes easier to pack, if one is insistent on brifters, one can save a little bit of time and effort using eTap. I realize this is the RBW Owners Bunch Google group, but getting rid of the cables that require spot-on adjustment (i.e., not brake cables) will make the process straightforward and quicker. The drawback is you'll be limited to 1 or 2 in the front, and 11 or 12 in the back, which may or may not be OK for your intended use. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
