Hi

Can anyone remember seeing an article in C+ on how to correctly pack a bike in a box for transporting abroad by air ?
I vaguely remember seeing this a while ago. I have almost all C+ of the last 4 years but most are in storage so I cant check myself.
I have the article for packing in a bike bag that was in one of the supplements but need something more specific as I have to send a bike to Austria for a mate and take one to Majorca for me in a few moths time.

If you know the issue number it'd be a great help.

Thanks

    I can't remember the article, but there is similar information here.

    Another good idea is to use the spacers that come with a new frame to fit in the front and rear drop outs, stops them from getting compressed.
