Wiggle are being Nobs

Also waiting on two shirts since the 8th!

Or any other spares I should get before Wiggle disappear...

I bought a few sets of end caps for a quid each

Hmm I reckon the Nukeproof ratchets that were for sale on wiggle/crc were very likely manufactured by the same factories producing the ones on Aliexpress.
If that’s the case then it didn’t really make the £30 that much of a bargain compared to buying them on AliX.

As far as I understand it, it is not a case of DT Swiss licensing the ratchet to Nukeproof.
It’s actually because the patent expired in January 2020 and that’s why there was a sudden explosion of hubs on Aliexpress with ratchets made by Ztto and a few others. It’s also why there are a few more legitimate companies making hubs with ratchet drives now.

I have genuine DT ratchets in one 350 hub and Aliexpress ratchets in another hub. The AliX ones have been running for about 2 years with no issues at all.
DT Swiss definitely weren’t making the ratchets for Nukeproof!

XT 11-46t cassettes are down to £44 and 10EXTRA works too. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/sh­imano-xt-m8000-11-46t-cassette-11-speed?­color=silver&cassetteTeeth=11-46t

Wow, would like one but will it arrive hmmm

Huh, I didn't know the patent expired. Explains why they moved to EXP I guess.

After a bit of googling it it looks like it might be manufactured by KT? https://www.showdaily.net/2022/07/kt-taiwan-perfects-ratchet-drive-freehub-manufacturing/

Needed a new cassette so I've taken a gamble... Said delivery by 22nd march...

Who/what is the CITADEL !?

This is ground zero for a new conspiracy

Their warehouse, I guess. This is the returns address:

Wiggle Ltd
Citadel Logistics Centre
Black Country New Road
Bilston
WV14 7BR

Ordered 6th, just got update on shipment.

Finally cracked and ordered a load of cold water swimming stuff yesterday (not that I've swum in open water at all in 2 years but it might be useful...). I had a dispatch confirmation this evening.

Still picking away at the carcass, ordered one of these for my Dad.

Against the flow, my crc order for the cassette yesterday is out for delivery today! Maybe they're putting the jets on to clear up?

Any meat left on those bones? Any bargains still to be had?

£20 carbon road shoes, for those with small feet

Before I return, anyone want either these in medium

I'm interested in the trail tech shirt. Semi-dibs.
Any chance you could measure the length and width (pit to pit is popular)? Otherwise navigating a return via you would be tricky...

About 52/53cm.

RIP Wiggle / CRC.

My final order has been placed, parts for the CAAD10 Track build. It was fun whilst it lasted...

Anyone north londonish doing an order as I'd like a couple of headsets but don't fancy the postage

My final order has been placed

It's a game of chicken now to see who gets in a successful order last. I'm out, we'll see whether it was a "great choice" in a week or two

My tool box, tool roll, hubs, and packable jacket arrived yesterday.
I'm deliberating on a pair of road shoes.

Fuck knows when I'll actually ride a bike though.

4 days and no sign of my baselayer, tubeless valves and those little cable end crimp things to make it to free postage from CRC, wonder if it will ever make it beyond ‘processing’?

My next day delivery stuff ordered yesterday is - astonishingly - out for delivery today. My free postage stuff ordered a week ago still hasn't been picked or despatched, won't be for at least two more days, and they're being very elusive about letting me cancel it.

"Sorry, due to layoffs we have very few staff to fulfill orders"
"I know, so I'm trying to help by reducing their workload - let me cancel it"
"......"

Who ever owns the inventory will still want to sell it, they just DNGAF about how long dispatch takes as they are not looking for return business!
