SMALLER SHIPMENT
PACKING GUIDE
Follow the steps below to send a disassembled bicycle safely by post or courier:
1. Disassemble the bike by taking apart the wheels, handlebars, pedals and saddle. You can do this yourself with tools such as spanners and Allen keys or ask for help at your local bike shop. Pack each part separately by wrapping them with bubble wrap and securing them with tape.
2. Protect the bike frame and protruding parts, such as the wheel axel, by covering them in bubble wrap. Line the cardboard box with cushioning materials and carefully arrange the packed bike parts inside. The bolts should be put into plastic pouches, so they do not get lost.
3. Place the bike frame in first, followed by the protectively wrapped wheels, and then the smaller parts. Make sure there is adequate padding between each part.
4. Use a string or cable ties to secure the items together and add more cushioning materials to make them immobile during transport. Close and seal the box and reinforce the corners and edges.
