Right- trying to get the fatty ready for courier up to scotlandshire
What is the best method?
Paisley freight charge a set rate for a bike- do you think this means I can use 2 boxes?
Tried cut and shutting 2 frame boxes and then adding random bits of cardboard on top but Im worried that it not only looks rubbish but whether it will all come apart in transit
Ive got 2 fresh bike boxes this morning so ideas welcome- or if anyone is passing stoke to Edinburgh- happy to pay £40 if they take up!

I assume you've removed the tyres and folded them?
I presume the front rim is too wide for the usual packaging method to work?
Some boxes are bigger than others...
Get a bigger box? Mine arrived complete apart brom bars in probably the biggest bike box I've ever seen!

I sold my moonlander recently
left tyres on deflated to 5psi,turned the bars and put it in the on one box my fatty came in.
i added lots of gaffer tape and as much bubble wrap as i deemed suitable.
i used "senditnow" (part of parcelforce?)
cost about £70 insured up to £1400 and it arrived the next day to a very happy person in Manchester
it was posted in Tottenham and collected by a parcelforce van who did not query size and dimensions, although im not saying thats always the case
Lester
thats a similar box to the one i used
I've used two bike boxes duct tapped together (infact, more tape than box) and no problems with Paisley.
I had to use two boxes for mine ....wheels in one and rest in other with much bars and pedals removed
Them on one big boxes are just what I need!
Wheels set up tubeless so dont really want to take off etc for sake of new owner
Just bought 2 rolls of duct tape so looks like its gonna be a cut and shut job
