Step 13Protect the Rear Dropouts
When the rear wheel is removed it's possible to bend the dropouts together by say, jumping up and down on the bag, throwing it off a platform, or overturning a luggage trolley onto it. Since we aren't in Japan, those are all possibilities.
To prevent frame damage, we'll wedge a block of wood between the rear dropouts and tape it in place.
My old Bridgestone came with a spanner with notches to fit the dropouts. You'd loop the chain over it, and the chain tension would hold it in place.
