eBay and Craigslist finds

Emailed him asking to remove the tape so i can see the chip.

"hi, i can get you a close up picture of the chip but i wont remove the tape as i got it taped at the bike shop and i dont wish to go back and get it taped up again. th size of the chip is approx 1cm x 3cm.
Because the thing will fall apart when you take the tape off?

it's special electrical tape i bet ;)

that's a fuckin' outrage! this guy is obviously pulling a fast one... There's absolutely no way i'd roll on that shit! the spokes on a spok are completely hollow right? What's the bet that under that tape there's a massive fuck off hole? i'm sorry but a 'chip' does not measure 1cm x 3cm. WAC.
