I can only take 2 bikes with me to Canada, initially, but my brother is going to take out my DH bike when he goes out in August. However, I need to pack the bike up in the next few weeks, which usually includes dismantling it, wrapping it to within an inch of it’s life and letting the air out of the Boxxer WCs, which I then compress and tie with rope.

Is storing the bike in this manner for a few months going to do the forks any harm?

Just take the forks off, zip tie the headset bearings in, wrap the forks and put them in the box with the bike

How do you support the front end and keep the chainset up if you do that?

Probably with some cardboard, pack it like it's going to be shipped in the box, you could also lower he forks in the clamps to shorten them if that doesn't work.Though if your packing it in a cardboard bike box does it not fit?
