Thanks!

I just want everyone safe and happy! #dad

So the rim I want isn't the pro series, so Im guessing I won't get the discount sorry if this has been clarifyed already.

I've added myself to the LB rim list. When is the cut-off please?

Sunday 12/09

Thanks

LB came back with a preliminary quote based on what I sent them on 06/09. You can find the prices here. The first column is their quote, I then redistributed them on the spreadsheet to prorate the $1429.60 TPD shipping, based on items cost. Feel free to review and let me know if there are any issues.

This is just preliminary and I believe should be enough to confirm all questions regarding discounts and such and give enough of an idea to people to fully commit or decide to pull out. Take a couple of days to think about it and amend the original spreadsheet in time for the cut off this sunday.

Use this original spreadsheet to amend/add/remove your order.

awesome - thank you @giofox !

well done @giofox i tried to do a group order once and failed

is the list frozen now then?

is the list frozen now then?

No, it isn't, it will be on Sunday night

hmm okay tempting

Acquaintance I ride with heard from a mutual friend today that I was ordering and might want to throw a wheelset in. Told him to hurry up.

Can you message me the details of the person you've been talking to so I can get the details about how they're going to carve off my part of the order to ship to Europe (and what price difference that makes).?

superb work so far @giofox

No worries, thanks all for picthing in and making the effort worthwhile, quite chuffed this might actually work out! LB said 2-3 weeks for delivery and approx 3-4 for manufacturing, so this could be with us by early November if not sooner.

Those with a bit more storage space that could take a delivery of 30-40 wheels might want to start think about their availability as we will have to make a decision on that early next week. (no need to share details/discuss this here and now)

Now onto asking @broken_777 for a bulk wheel build discount 😂

Great work, giofox. The spokes in rows 16/17 have been changed from silver to black. Did they explain why?

You did not specify a spoke type/make, so they priced whatever. In the final order you'll have to specify a type of spoke that is actually silver.

It was one of their questions I reported here I think.

.

I saw that and added the detail to cells W16/W17. Maybe I missed a cut-off for changes.

Do you know if it will change the price?

It still says "Silver round" in here, no biggie though, we'll iron out that stuff before the final order for sure.

Do you know if it will change the price?

I assume it will have an impact, not sure how much more or less it will be though but doubt it will be a deal breaker for you?

Ok, cool. Yes silver and round is as far as I could go to spec the spokes as I don’t know their options.

Again thanks for sorting. These are minor details.

I'm ID15.
Confused the rims I have chosen are Falcon Pro 650b, but on the spreadsheet it says they are not a Pro rim??

@giofox is the TPD shipping taxes pre-paid? or is there a risk of a 30% charge ontop

Yeah TPD (tax paid delivery) avoids any customs charges.
