For Sale: Hirame Yoko pump head (group buy)

How much was the taxes on these? Thinking of getting some bike parts from Jp, hence will be a good yardstick to get a feel of how much I would be pinched by the taxman! Thanks!

5% duty on the goods, 17.5% VAT on the goods+shipping and Parcel Force charged £13.50 for collecting the taxes.

There are 2 people on timetriallingforum.co.uk who have similar regrets

Now 4 on that forum who missed the boat. I'd suggest that anybody on here who wants in on a potential second batch should head over to http://www.timetriallingforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=52562 and join forces with them.

I can't post there yet as waiting for my login to be approved, but def want one.

Does anyone have any experience of these:

I'm sure they're not as fine quality as the proper ones but I'm wondering if it would do the job?

One of my friends has one of those cheap knock-offs. He's not the kind of person who would buy a Rollex, but was misled by an advertiser who didn't draw attention to the fact that what he was selling was an inferior copy, not the genuine article. It seems to do the job.

Rather than buying from an anonymous ebay seller, go to Varno's thread and get it from a forumenger for £25 including postage.

Yes, I do. Bought it through the TTF, but it's the same one. Works perfectly once you've adjusted the tension. Highly recommended

Thanks for the info, I'll contact Varno about it

anyone fancy another group buy? I backed out last time and my current head has entirely died. I may as well go whole hog with a hirame replacement
