Sending a complete bike.......
« on: March 21, 2013, 05:06 PM »
Guys,what would be the best way to send a complete bike?

I am thinking loosen the stem,twist the bars,pedals off and box the fooker up :daumenhoch:

Or try and split a bit more?

And what is a rough cost for a courier?

I leave the stem but take the bars off and tape them to the frame :daumenhoch:

Your way of packing sounds fine. I got my DK sent to me with city link, it was under £20 and insured for its value.

The one thing you must do is insure it, theres so much stuff going missing lately.

If you can get it quite tightly packed have a look at my hermes  :daumenhoch: they do have a size limit so use there calculator. Nice and cheap spec if you need to up the insurance, only downside they take 5 days to deliever. Never had a problem with them. Can also save a bit more money and time waiting for them to pick up if you have a drop shop near ya.
