Yeah, that's what I'd do.
Or if you really wanna get anal about it go buy some of those cardboard tubes you get posters n stuff in.
You could actually pop to your nearest cinema or summat as I believe they get their posters n stuff in those tubes.
Tesco do aswell.

Mark 'FRAGILE' and send it with a decent shipping agent with good insurance cover. Might cost an extra £10 but it will be worth it for piece of mind.

I sent some once that had adjusters at the top or maybe bottom of forks, i taped spray can lids from WD 40 over them to protect the adjuster screws, bubble wrap. Then in a box. No issues from the buyer.
