Group,

Several months back I believe a link was posted to a Riv video or web how-to for a new way of packing bikes for shipping.

It involved cutting strips of card board the width of the box and then inserting the strips in the frame triangle and other areas of the shipping box to stiffen the sides and negate most unintentional crushing during shipment.

I looked on Riv's website, Blug, and searched this group but can't seem to find it.

I'll be shipping a Rivish mixte to a friend soon and that method seems well worth trying.

Can anyone point me to this information?

Perfect,

This plus Emil's riv bike packing video should do the trick.

I cannot do this alone ;) Thanks.

It's brilliant. My Clem frame came with a Pletscher rack and various parts taped to the triangle pieces. I actually stopped and admired Roman's packing job for a few minutes before removing everything from the frame.

Same here Deacon, I got all jazzed up for a second thinking there was a new Riv bikepacking video!

Well Mark, I think you are the one to do a video!

I don't think I'm alone in saying I would watch a video of one of your bike overnights or tours.
