MadManMike Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 whats the best way to go about sending a complete bike then?Get a bike box from a bike shop, take the wheels & bars off and put bubble wrap on sensitive bits...Probably best going with a courier for a whole bike I reckon.

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Rap in bin bags and take to post office, cost me about £10. Cost a little more (like 50p) to send them in a box but stops them form getting damage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladd Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 What i find best for sending wheels/ tyres, just rap them up in bubble rap and put them in bin liners and tape them up with lots off tape Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) When i bought a rear mod wheel from Tarty, they put old wide sellotape rolls around the axles to stop them from being f**ked/poke out, then it was simply binbagged up with a layer or bubble wrap inside the binbag as far as i can remember...And plenty of tape.
