I'm not sure you're right about the "standard tecnique" of packing it. In any case, I have always put the rear wheel in first with the cassette facing downward. Problem solved? Also, I have an openable stem which makes removing the bars very easy. Never had to remove the fork or front brake. Just "wrap" the bars around the fork and put the whole front end in second, followed by the rear end and finally the front wheel. Things have to be overlapped and interweaved a bit, but this method has always worked for me. It takes me about 30 minutes to wrap the tubes and pack everything. Have fun, Thomas Post Extras
