Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Re: Disconnecting hydraulic hoses

Traveled abroad at the start of May. Plan was to bring VB GF002 with me. Got Trek box for XL sized Madone and started dismantling the bike. I was thinking that the frame, fork, handlebar all tied together because of internal hoses will somehow fit in the box. After numerous permutations and combinations and 3 hours later I decided to call it quits. In the end I brought along rim brake SSE. The handlebar was kept in the rear triangle. Everything beautifully wrapped in foam. The GF002 is still lying in my home completely disassembled. Only a dedicated hard case will fit the carcass of full ICR bike without disconnecting hoses etc. Major pain.
