Pedals
Check you can remove your pedals before packing day.
If they're stuck, a local bike shop will loosen them in seconds - don't try to force them.
Disc Brakes
Discs are more robust than they look, and the foam layer between the frame and wheels protects them well. Just make sure your tyres are deflated as instructed - this removes any risk of the disc on one wheel making contact with the tyre on the other. If you're still not sure, a bit of bubble wrap between them will do the job. You don't need to remove the discs, but if you want to, it's straightforward - see our [disc brake removal guide].
