I have the Copper Spur HV UL2 bikepacking version and I've never store the tent in the included stuff sack nor with the tent poles. I bought it for the short poles and vestibule, not the abilityl to strap it to my handlebars. The provided stuff sack is heavy, strappy and overkill. Just stuffing the tent in a seat bag works best for me since its not something I need till I get to camp so out of the way all day. I never store tent poles with a tent anymore because I don't want the two to be rubbing against one another while I'm bumping down the road all day long. It only took wearing a hole in a tent on a short overnighter long ago to learn my lesson.
