Its been ages since I fitted or removed a rear mech so go easy on me 🙂

I have my bike packed in a bike bag ready to be trashed by Ryanair – no alternative 🙁

If I remove the rear mech (its currently zip tied away and looks OK) would it be asking for trouble when I get to the other side?

Or will it just screw back on with minimal aggro

Its Shimano FWIW

Ta in advance

I take mine off with the mech hanger attached, wrap it in foam/bubble wrap & tape it up inside the rear triangle.

No problems so far…

No mech hanger !

Anyone?

shouldn't be an issue at all. make sure you don't cross thread it when putting it back on, take care the cable cant get kinked badly while in the bag.
