  • What could I buy to put Carbon Fibre handlebars in to post safely...........any ideas.

  • A box? Bubble wrap? Gaffa tape?
    Fecking jiffy bag?

    Seriously, if you want to make sure they arrive safely, chuck them in the box, but also prepare fillers/dividers for the box to keep the bars in place. A rectangle of cardboard with a cut in the middle will do. Bend it to give it a V shape and fill the whole box and slide the bars in the slot in the middle. You get me, blud? Or not?

  • Danka bitte my friend I just need to get the right box from somewhere, thank you.

  • Look how my frame was packed - with dividers/expanders (?) - to give you an idea. The thing is, try to immobilise it and it should be ok ;-) Bubble wrap on top or those marshmallowy thingies retrieve from some parcel you received of an eBay selller.

  • Loadsa bubble wrap inside a stout cardboard toob!

  • Any suggestions?

  • In a box.

  • cut them up into 1 inch lengths they will then fit in any envelope you care to choose

  • Wrap with newspaper.

    Then wrap with tape.

    But if you stick in the correct sized box, UK postage is about the same.

  • poster tube?

  • much better idea than mine ^^^

  • royal mail?

  • @dicki - I prefer yours.

    screaming innuendo

  • par velo.


  • comme ça

  • a curly poster tube?

    or an old hoover hose and tape the ends

  • bubblewrap and plastic bag should be fine. Anytime I've ever bought them new from shops online that's how they arrive-sometimes not even bubblewrapped.

    Finding boxes for bars is a pain in the tatties.

  • a length of hosepipe, two champagne corks and a luggage tag.

  • I can't tell who's being serious and who's not :(

  • So far...

  • It's fine, stick a label on it and run, surely the PO is about to close

  • how should I post skis?

  • please see post #3 above ^^^
    works exactly the same for handle bars, ski's, pipes, you name it


  • Just stick a stamp on the front.
    Simples.
