Delivery Your Bike: Get It Done Cheaply, Quickly, and Easily



You've recently sold that old bicycle on EBay, or maybe you're preparing for a major move. In any case, you will need to know how to pack your bicycle with the goal that it's protected and secure. This article strolls you through the fundamentals.
Getting a Box
The principal thing you have to do is to decide the measure of your bike. This is imperative for finding the correct size bicycle box. On the off chance that you don't have the foggiest idea about the size, you can likewise gauge the measurements:
Stature (base of tire to situate post)
Width (most extensive piece of handlebars when turned vertical)
Length (raise wheel to front of bicycle with front wheel evacuated)
Presently you are prepared to get a crate. The most ideal approach to this is to get a telephone directory and call the nearby bicycle stores. Bicycle shops for the most part get shipments each morning and typically toss out the cases once they are finished unloading the new bicycles. Call them and have them clutch a case for you. Make certain to say the size box you require. Even better, visit the shop sufficiently early to choose the size box you need. (Note: These stores should offer them to you for nothing; however they may have you pay a couple of bucks. By and by, I've never needed to pay more than $5.)
Pressing
Since you have your container you are prepared to set up your bicycle for shipment. To do this, you will require some essential bicycle devices. You can get a multi-apparatus from the bicycle store. These keep running from about $7 to $40. You will likewise require some essential pressing supplies like air pocket wrap and tape.
Here comes the fun part, dismantling the bicycle. You should expel the accompanying:
Front Wheel (simply unscrew from the casing)
The two Pedals (contingent upon your bicycle, you'll either require an Allen key or a torque)
Handlebars (there are normally two screws which join the handlebars to the neck)
Seat (expels the seat post and seat)
Once these parts are evacuated, I think that it’s least demanding to begin pressing the bicycle by putting the casing in first and afterward "crushing" everything else in. Make sure to utilize the air pocket wrap to secure the apparatuses and chain. Likewise, make a point to balance out and wrap alternate parts with the goal that the casing isn't scratched. Tape it shut and you're finished!
Delivery
This is the simple part. Call up your favoured transporter and timetable a get. Make sure to have the measurements and the heaviness of the bicycle close by. In the event that you are searching for a shoddy transporter, attempt DHL. They're solid and, in my experience, have the most sensible costs.
