I've never seen the case before, but I do own a Plasma. I hear a lot of people whine and complain about the integrated seatpost and the inablility of travel with it. All you have to do is take the crankset off. It's not as hard as it seems. In fact, it is very easy. If you look at the non drive side of your cranks, on that crank arm there are 2 screws. Loosen those up, take the black cap off. Then push the crank off. Of course make sure you take the chain off the chain rings before you do this. There is a semi-clear plastic looking tube that is connected to the drive side of the crankset that goes through the bottom bracket. That is supposed to be attached to the drive side. Once the crankset is off, you should be able to fit your bike in any case. It would be a good idea to tighten back up with a torque wrench to the specified #, although i don't know what that is.
