Packing For Italy

Posted by: Michael Slater in Dahon Mu XL Folding Bicycle, Le Chacal

Two Bikes
Trying to get all my bikes and equipment packed for Italy. Flight is tomorrow night. I broke Le Chacal down typically, but the Dahon I broke down well beyond normal folding design. Everything fits in a single suitcase, except the wheels. They’re bulky and annoying.

And God, the Dahon’s wheels are heavy — 2.25kg for the rear rim+hub (includes a Shimano Nexus internal hub) and 1.18kg for the front rim+hub, radially spoked to a dyno-hub. In comparison, my Aeroheat + XTR front wheel weighs 0.640kg.

What’s the fence in the background? A new something installed between the front yard and the side yard? And shouldn’t I see some corn somewhere?
