Nice, thanks, Nick! I hadn't seen Sheldon Brown videos before. If that
video were made today, it would be a red Voile Strap.

Pirateship looks like it might even be cheaper than eBay's discounted

Plus 1 on the Pirateship.com recommendation. Used to ship via USPS.com but
Pirateship.com gives the best price between USPS and UPS. Also, you can
ship via 1st Class mail if the package is light enough. USPS.com only
allowed Priority, so you can save a lot on light stuff.

Thank you all for the wonderful advice, this will help tremendously. Nick,
when you say wrapped, you really meant it, that tyre looks like it's for a
Brompton it's so small! Now I'm confident that I can ship these without

Fold them into 1/3 the original size. Kind of like folding a windscreen

before folding tires were ubiquitous.
With the tire horizontal in front of you, reach under the the part closest
to you (we’ll call that 6:00 o’clock), slide your hand all the way across
(let’s call that 12:00 o’clock), r
Eric, when you say folded, is that over in half once? I shipped something
out yesterday, and the post office rounded up one dimension from 12.1
inches to 13, and that made the price jump from $24 to 41, so every inch is

Yeah, basically use a box cutter to literally make a custom box no bigger

You can get creative with how you cut cardboard boxes into different

razor/box opener to cut down the corners of the box and then trim the flaps
to the size you need. It's really hard to explain and it's something I

Does anyone have experience shipping wire bead tyres? I have some 26"
studded Schwalbe Marathon winter tyres I would like to sell. But I have no
idea how to ship them. It's probably not good for them to fold them, right?
Selling them locally isn't an option, as I've moved from Colorado to
