If anyone is still clamouring for the file tread GKs in 32mm, I have such a pair that has been bought, mounted then unmounted when they wouldn't quite fit with my guards.
£20 each?

I'll nab them if you'll post

I've had a VAT invoice through for those g-ones, automated admittedly, but you never know they might honour it..
-
• #5555
Me too. Not holding out much hope, though.
-

Order confirmation and VAT email all received here
-
• #5558
Hmm, so nothing learned from that.
We'll just have wait a bit longer then
-
• #5559
Yeah, I’ll post. pm me your address and I’ll measure up and work out how much it’ll be.

Just got email from SJS about the £1.99 G-Ones. They can't fulfill the order right now as they've oversold due to the price error, but if happy to wait till end of June/July they'll actually honour it this time.

They're honouring the orders
Although they over sold and have run out of stock. I was asked whether I want to wait until late june/early july or cancel the orderEdit: beaten to it
-
• #5562
Didn't get that email, does that mean mine are on the way as the last of the stock? Man I feel bad to be honest, big hit for them to take probably
@mattioats will PM now

My order has been dispatched! I guess as I got in there early they fulfilled it first. Props to SJS for taking it on the chin, even on the orders they can’t fulfill right now.

Does strike me that it may have been a marketing ploy. Sure they might lose a bit of cash on these few orders, but might lead to overall sales increasing as people trawl their site looking for more mistakes, not to mention telling all their friends the 'great deals they got on SJS'
Or maybe I'm just being a cynic -
• #5565
Not sure chancers trawling for mistakes are worth much tbh.
-

Could be. It certainly hasn't done their image any harm by honouring the orders.
It would also be a pretty risky tactic, I could have very easily ordered the lot and kept quiet, then they'd be out of pocket and have no 'marketing' to show for it. For that reason alone seems unlikely.
-

I've always found them very knowledgeable and very helpful. And they stock the weird parts that others don't. Just not always the absolute cheapest.
Am sort of fulfilling your prophecy I guess as a useful marketing idiot, but either way they don't seem like the sort to do something as calculated and cynical as that to me
-
• #5568
I was mostly playing devils advocate, didnt mean to imply anything negative about the people who run SJS
Either way I cant see it hurting them in the long run. Like @ThePeginator says, by honouring these orders theyll gain trust and a bit of good press by word of mouth

I have a wheelset thats tubeless only .. wise to ride G one speed across France on road?
-
• #5572
100%. I trust them very much on tarmac, gravel, up hill, downhill, in the dry, in the wet etc etc etc.
