Wrap a piece of electrical tape around the base of your seatpost to mark the correct heights
Remove the seatpost but keep the seat attached
Create some slack in brake cables by undoing the quick
releases on the brake arms or at the levers. Slacken shifter cables by
putting the chain in the big ring/big cog combo then, without pedaling,
shifting down. If possible, take cables out of the frame stops. Loosening
the cables gives you room to remove and position the handlebar.
Separate the handlebar from the bike by removing the bolts that clamp it into the stem. Loop the bar around the fork and secure it with some zip ties. Pack your computer head in a safe spot.
Remove the pedals - right pedal counter-clockwise, left pedal clockwise.
Take off the front and rear wheels then remove the quick release skewers
Wrap tubes, fork, rear derailleur and crankarms with some protective insulation
Zip-tie the right crankarm to the chainstay.
Zip tie the chain to the chainstay so it doesn't get tangled.
Slip it all into the case. If your case has a mounting bracket, secure it now. Use rags, clothing or cardboard to pad places where metal and equipment might rub together.
