down tube? I packed my bicycle for airline shipping using this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2jCN2nVnNY.
To remove the stem, it suggested loosening the bolt at the top of the stem, then hitting it with a hammer to release the stem. I started by following this instruction on my Jamis Aurora Elite which didn't seem to do anything--except the bolt was hit down--then I simply decided to remove the handlebars--doing it the same way I would adjust the height, but just pulling them off the whole way.
Now, after reassembling the bicycle, there is not enough room for my front tire!!!! It hits the down tube.
I'm fully willing to admit I'm stupid, it's all my fault, and perhaps I had it coming... but PLEASE! How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance
