why didn't you return them? his repair/re-truing is very good, and if they think they're at fault, free..
There's nothing he can do about the anodising, to be honest it doesn't bother me it came off, what annoys me was he said that it wouldn't which is a blatant lie. For the bearings he sent my brother a new set then just told him which ones to get after that, I've not replaced mine yet but they desperately need done. Sending wheels off to get trued is not ideal, these are my only wheels I can use on my road bike and would prefer not to be without them for 1 or 2 weeks just to get trued when I can do it myself.
