No, but I bet if you asked Ian at the bike place he'd have one you could have

I've got one, but can't say I like your description of John in The Bike Shop, so you can't have it.

Ask in your LBS, they will usually have something they will give you. Last time I needed one they gave me loads of packaging including some nice plastic bits to stick in the forks etc.
