One of the key things with my Helios was to twist the fork to get one fork leg between the rear dropouts.

Here are the directions I included in the case when I loaned my Helios to a friend who took it to Spain:

This works for the Helios and the Samsonite Oyster. The entire bike fits in the case. Packing is a bit of a pain, but it all fits. It may work of other models, or not. You'll need to try it and see.
