Thanks, Georgel. Were you on a black fixed bike riding the other way?
I've sorted the problem with the rear mech. I looked it over just to see that everything looked ok, gave it a prod and everything was fine, also thought I'd try my luck giving it a good old shake just to see if anything was broken or loose, couldn't believe my luck/stupidity to find a valve cap fall out... It was a schrader valve which I don't own any of, probably fell in sometime in the workshop or from the previous owner, ha. Gears working perfectly now, still needs new hoods but overall feeling a little happier.
On my way back from a ride just under a hour ago going down a fairly steep hill, hit the anchors at the bottom and the front wheel locks up momentarily then spins and does it again - at 30mph. I stop to find a spoke missing and all the other spokes loose. Absolutely no idea how I didn't go over the bars, rear wheel must have been a foot of the ground before I threw my weight back. The wheel was so out of true I had to push the bike back home because it didn't even clear the pads with the brake open!
Kind of annoyed at this point I go back into Paypal where I've already opened a case as the seller said they'd sent me the correct wheels to find this..
Here's what they said I emailed them:

Pretty pissed they've sent me the wrong wheels, called me a liar and nearly get shot off my bike...
I've just sent Paypal a print screen of the payment I made to them with the comments, hopefully this should sort it.
