Is the disc bike hydro? If so, how are you managing the hose connections?

No problems in my Post bag either. https://postcarry.co/blogs/news/tran...itting-gallery

Obviously you can't see the disc rotors but thru axle bikes actually pack smaller (in terms of stack height) than a QR bike/rim brake bike as thru axle hub ends don't protrude as far as QR axles.

My hydro disc bike partially packed up for Airport Ninja (I also remove rotors from the wheels and pack separately.)

Definitely leave the hoses a bit long - that will help.
