planet X haven't been very helpful to me this week. i was looking for some forks for my61cm batavus - approximately 220mm of steerer. bought a pair of Columbus thron forks. they were supposed to have 220mm steerer. the ones that came had 180mm steerer. then i sent them back (took them ages to refund me the 5.60 postage) and tried to exchange to a pair of tange chrome forks which were supposed to have 245mm of steerer. on the exchange form i stated if they weren't 220mm or over i'd like a refund not an exchange. they emailed me to tell me that they had a 200mm steerer and asked if they would do. then dispatched them before i replied, the ones that came had 200mm of steerer. so i'm sending those back tommorow. and buying some from a forum member.
they didn't change the advertised steerer lengths for a few days so i suspect others will have the same problem.
rant over. they've been good to me in the past. but wasn't impressed by this mess.
