Lovely thing, shim stuck in the seat tube, though.

Simple fix usually.

Makes me wonder why use a shim in the first place? Fancy seatpost in odd size? Or funny sized seat tube?

🤔

Wouldn't trust that shop. I bought a Shimano SLX cassette from them last November and received a snide "Sunshine SZ" cassette that they supposedly didn't even stock.

It’s one of the biggest UK bike kit distributors, no?

Not saying that means great customer service or anything!

It’s one of the biggest UK bike kit distributors, no?

Yes. The UK distributor for Campagnolo, Deda, Columbus, Basso etc

Had no idea! Yeah I'm guessing someone maybe thought they could get away with the swap in the warehouse? Really put me off ordering from them.

Maybe a customer return that they didn't bother opening and checking before reselling.

Hmm. There's 26 slx cassettes listed for feedback there. Only one neutral, rest +tive.

An anti-bargain:

Wiggle's₁ Ebay outlet listing Shimano PD-M520s - Shimano's cheapest spd's - as XTR PD-M9100s 😁

lol these went for £72! Do people not look at pictures?

I've got some M520s I found in the cupboard under the stairs, might just say they're M9100s...

I left a negative review but it looks like it’s gone so I don’t know what’s going on there. This is what they sent me:

Yeah good point.

Maybe the ebay genius who bought them plans to return some actual M9100s. Making the M520s "free".

Or perhaps they are expecting Wiggle to respond to the error by sending some actual M9100s aS a GesTUrE oF gOOdWill.

Anybody fancy a trip up to Cumbria?

I bought a Cinelli Veltrix carbon frameset from them (admittedly only about £450), and it arrived without forks.

They were pretty good with comms after the error but couldn't get the correct replacement from Cinelli. They sent me some Tifosi ones instead and I got them sprayed. Annoying, but I'd had the shipment forwarded out of the UK before I realised the error and it would have cost me loads to get it back.

Very orange Flite!

when I inspected in person the top tube has ripple marks in the paint which made me think it had taken a front on impact. Also a big dent on seat tube where previous owner used a non oversize campag clamp :-(
