How to Pack Your Neutrino Mini-Velo into the Odyssey Traveler Bag in 15min!

We've had questions about how to pack the Neutrino for airline travel, so we made this step-by-step video. Check out the Neutrino here: velo-orange.com/collections/n...

Excellent guide! Would you know if it's possible to do this trick with drop bars? I do it on my Bike Friday by kind of hooking the drop bars around the frame but it's definitely some advanced Tetris.

[@karl-heinzschulz3638]

Great Guide thanks, eagerly waiting for the next Neutrino drop. Couple questions, do you know of other bags that fit the Neutrino? Would it still fit with an alt bar, thinking the VO Crazy bar

[@FyoGuidesAndRides]

Hello, what are the dimensions of the bag with the bike packed inside?

[@ernanigarcia3530]

Hello, just to know, is this the cigne stem 70mm or 90mm? Thanks.

[@PRH123]

Thanks, was curious to see into how small a space it could be packed. If the frame split in the middle with S&S couplers it could be really small, and maybe avoid taking the fork and rear wheel off. Needless to say would be more expensive. Didn't see you put those little plastic shoes into the calipers to keep them from getting overextended if you press the brake lever by accident.

They are Avid BB7s a mechanical disc brake. You do not need to worry about popping out the pistons on a mechanical disc brake, just hydraulic disc brakes.

[@abbyabraham]

S&S couplers is the greatest idea on a bike that can travel with you. But the cost of adding 2 couplers will be more than the cost of this frameset. So, keeping them off from this model will be better.

[@Joerides7]

What size frame is this? Will the large fit into that bag?

[@velo_orange]

This is a Large frame size.

[@ernanigarcia3530]

Hello. Greetings from Brazil. I am the owner of the only one Neutrino here. I’m looking forward for having such a nice bag available here. My Neutrino is a small frame, which size is the one in the video? Mine is mounted with hydraulic brakes, is there anything special to consider when packing like this? Thanks!

[@velo_orange]

The bike size here is a Large. For hydraulic brakes, be careful of where the brakes go, so the lines don't get kinked or damaged. And make sure to route the brakes externally, so it is easier to take the caliper off if needed for packing.

[@ernanigarcia3530]

@@velo_orangeNice hints. Thank you!

[@code3xiv]

Do you guys have a single speed version of this velo?

[@velo_orange]

We don't offer a single speed, but the bike is able to be single speed'd.

[@PRH123]

It does just scream I want to be a single speed :)

[@rizkyansyahprasetio3960]

can you tell me, what a name of your stem?

[@velo_orange]

It is the Velo Orange Cigne Stem: velo-orange.com/collections/stems/products/cigne-stem

[@simonzammit7984]

Can the XXL model be packed into the bag ?

[@velo_orange]

Unfortunately, the XXL is outside of the airline checked baggage specs, so it doesn't fit in this traveling bag.

[@simonzammit7984]

@@velo_orange hmmm I’m tossing in between the large and XL frame. I fit on the xl and like the larger frame, but I ride a 54cm polyvalent so I’d technically match the L neutrino frame. Maybe fitting in the bag means I should grab a Large?

[@velo_orange]

@@simonzammit7984 oh go L size for sure

[@roadkill_toronto]

Hilarious. Seems easier to travel with road bike with hidden cables than this. Also wondering how people believe in rim brakes if you can ruin them with only the oil from your hands?

[@Dustybutdigital]

MOOOOAAARRRR VOLUME!

[@velo_orange]

Got it! Recently got an external mic and will def use it on the next vid.

[@Dustybutdigital]

Velo Orange more cowbell, too! Thanks for the video :)

[@ronnyd89]

This is a great overview, and I would actually recommend re-doing it (more hours in the day, I know) with the external mic!

[@TheVTX88]

This is ridiculous. Just get a Brompton for traveling.

[@patpat8169]

Yep
