Still getting the bike ready to travel...


A couple asides: even if you print a label ( UPS, FedEx, USPS etc) on your own computer, write on the actual box somewhere as well the address where the box is going. Labels, even taped on severely, sometimes escape.

Use some sort of spacers to keep the bike box mostly square and to keep the bike from being squished. Styrofoam from Staples dumpsters works great! It comes in just the right widths.

Take out quick release skewers. You can put them in a box with the pedals - remember the left pedal threads backwards! and with the reflectors if you have them.
