When I was a kid I was always in charge of making our families luggage fit in the trunk. I’ve done a lot of camping and hiking, traveled to S. America, Packed through Europe, and yes, even played Tetris!
I think I was defeated by two things. Firstly, the nature of bike parts is lots of bits sticking out at all angles. Nothing is squared off. Secondly, when the box arrived at my door it had relaxed into more of a bag shape 😂
I used a new box and reinforced it internally with some cardboard, in addition to the plastic that was in place. I think having rigid sides made things more complicated.
BUT in the future I’ll attack it more like a puzzle.
You guys have some incredible crap loading skills, my hat’s off to you!
