Great Odin's Raven! THE WHEEL HAS ARRIVED!

So disregard my previous posts I guess. Has a few holes in it, but nothing major so all's well that ends well.

Yay.

Which courier did it arrive via?

Yeah would be interested to find out which courier was used. if it was indeed Royal Mail/Parcelforce then thats about £10 profit for the seller...

ParcelForce, the tracking code was just wrong.

The wheel has holes in it?

Well just a few little ones. The company that made it cut a big 7cm circular hole through the wheel for the valve, so I'm assuming a couple of <1cm holes on one side don't matter too much.

Wut?

So a disc wheel? Carbon. With holes in it...

This one:

If so, then the photography is misleading if you've been left with a disc wheel with extra holes in it...

I'm guessing its a disk wheel

You've been mugged off.

Wasn't that guy previously dodgy as fuck as well?

Good to know, thanks.

@milkyway is a massive dick, ban hammer shirley.

Aye that's the one. The stickers covered most of the naughtiness :-P
It's only minor damage to the non-driveside.

Still, if that's not mentioned and deliberately covered up that's seriously shady.

It's fucking wac. @Velocio

Hey guys my name is Kobe and im living in Holland

i think i have to say sorry for my behaviour towards my raleigh frame
i asked a price that was ridicilous ( 3500 ) and i should have said a fair price ..
( i was a bit emotional attached since it was the old frame from Jan Raas team Raleigh )

I noticed after i made this post i fucked up my name here with you guys...

So again i would like to say sorry and i learned from this mistake,,,

Sincerely Kobe

Well it's my first disc wheel so I guess I didn't know what I should be asking and stuff. Still spins and whatnot so it'll do the job. I don't want anything too fancy looking in case people start expecting me to have the skills to back it up ;-)

Well it's my first disc wheel so I guess I didn't know what I should be asking and stuff.

So that's where we're at? It's fine to leverage the ignorance of others for our own profit?

@James. he thought he was buying an undamaged wheel, which isn't what he's received.

I'm sure the wheel was damaged when you bought it and you were unaware of this when you sold it. However, you described the condition as: "... a couple scuffs..." and "... nothing on the other side...".

You are responsible for ensuring the description is accurate.

Please can you contact Richard and either arrange for the wheel to be returned (at your expense) and he receive a full refund, or that he gets a partial refund: the choice as to which this will be is his.

Thanks in advance!

I havent sold anything on here (or elsewhere for that matter) yet but is it really annoying to have been lead on by a potential buyer for a while and then dropped due to a change in mind? Or is this something you would expect and simply hope not to happen?

Your @ to James brings up a different James, strangely...

that's considered bedwetting tbh. If buyer was 'leading you on' and another person suddenly popped up with both raging one-incher for your wares and the readies then you'd have flogged it, wouldn't you? Works the other way around, if someone's no sure granted, it's a pain in the pisser but it's not like they've come round your house, flirted with your gran and eaten their body weight in rich teas whilst deliberating, or is it?

Thanks good to know. I'm a bit of a flakey buyer and always feel incredibly bad when I even have thoughts of getting the other option.

if the seller is making an extra tenner on the wheel that is a bit cheeky, glad it turned up in the end. when you say holes do you mean the same holes on the thread or more hidden under stickers? similar thing happened to me once except it was a massive crack, and a random sticker, not a wheel decal, so definitely pre-meditated!

Couple of holes where the carbon has broken, some cracks 3cm long. They had stickers over them, in retrospect I should have wondered why the stickers were there :-P The drive side is ok though!

I could post a picture? I don't want to make this into a big thing tho if it isn't :-/

It sounds broken, that'd make it a big thing. Is it just fairing over a wheel or is the crabon all structural? Either way seems dodgy selling but at least it's is fairing the wheel should be safe enough.
