Packing a V20

[Robert Holler]

I have had a few people ask how the complete builds get shipped. Here is a fun video packing a V20 for shipment. Same crate holds the S30 and coming soon - an option to have your Quest pre-built and shipped the same way.

Couldn't be better timing.
I'll need to be packing mine up to ship to Utah in Aug.

Can you send me (or post) the "packing list" of supplies you get for this?

ha ha robert very good but you must slow down you work too hard. ride more and stop falling asleep on top of cruzbikes......sheesh. must be terrible when you wake up interstate or overseas in a couriers van. seriously great to see the care taken with the bikes. great stuff thanks for sharing.

 

[Alan W Dolbeer]

Great video Robert. Thanks. That bike looks great as well. Now I am really looking forward to receiving my V20 in the near future.

 

[Robert Holler]

Alan your bike is on the way. Yea!

Robert speaking of the box. Do you ever re-use them? Or recommend it? Not sure what to do with mine and hate to dump it in the trash.

 

[SamP]

The video does say the box is reusable.

We use it protect the seats and carpet in the Highlander when we put our bikes in and out.

Why don't you just ride it there Lief. Good for training and all, plus think of the cost savings.

 

[Robert Holler]

Suz,




Yes the box can be reused if you like. It would take a bit of putting back together but it has been done.

I'll need to be packing a yellow vendetta to bring on a plane in March.

Can you send me (or post) the "packing list" of supplies you get for this? and have a slower motion video for explanations?

or is there a more compact way to bring it on airplanes with the usual bike box? whats the dimension?

 

[Enid]

You won't be able to bring a box that big on an airplane. You will need to completely disassemble the bike. and use an airplane legal box.

depending on the airline. i get my v into a hard case that is accepted on all domestics by alaska and a few others.i think i would make a smaller one out of coroplast, but i just use it as my suitcase too. perfect for 3 weeks, even bringing nice clothes.

 

[Enid]

What kind of hard case? Thanks so much for the info!

 

[3bs]

mine is a b& w. the only things i don't like about it are the wheels don't spin, and the handle broke off. but i just made a better handle and used the same mounting bolts. there are a couple otheres i know work pretty well, i think there are a couple threads on it. do a search.

what pisses me off is that many domestic carriers overcharge for a bike. delta and united for example. it sucks. so sometimes i have to go to chicago to catch a different airline.

 

[Enid]

Thanks once again. So, I found a case online. A V20 can definitely fit in a standard case? If so, I'm sold.

Take a look at Larry’s packing thread here

I have plans to fly next year, so I’ll probably make my own box and ship to a hotel.

 

[Enid]

Thank you!!
That is a life saver

 

[3bs]

This is the same case I use. In fact, I put all of my clothes in it too, and sometimes an extra wheelset
