Flying with the bike for the first time next week. Whats good to use to stop the forks and frame getting bent in transit?

Copper/aluminium tube cut to the right lengths between the dropouts

Evoc bag or similar.

The Evoc bags look good but bit pricey as im not gong to be flying that often, ive got a cheap crc one which im planning on padding out a bit. Ill see if i can find some metal tube then!

I used a length of studding with 4 nuts to hold the dropouts in the right alignment

Old hubs.

Saw these things from Bopworks a while ago, haven’t tried them though.

New forks and frames come with spacers for the same reason so maybe ask your LBS if they have any in the bin you can have?

Length of PVC pipe, cut to size, secure with axles.

Was just about to suggest the same thing! 🙂

Have you got any old hubs lying around?

No old hubs unfortunately, tried lbs but they only had fork spacers for qr forks, suggested cutting down some thick cardboard tube. Ive found some chipboard with a hole cut through a i can use on the back though.
