Is it possible to successfully ship a complete bike with 2 wheelsets? Are there boxes large enough to do this w/o damaging the bike. I have shipped with one wheelset but for safety reasons it sounds like to me the second wheelset needs to be shipped separately. Thoughts...

Watch the box size as the postage gets ridiculous. Oversize boxes get nailed for mucho bucks. Check out the parameters for oversize boxes both at fedex and ups before you try and save some dough.

i think getting the front wheel in the box is pretty risky, depending on the handlers who actually touch the box from drop off to delivery. i would never consider sending another wheelset in the same box.
