  • Lol. It's def the bottom bracket

  • You laugh. Go ask in the cannondale thread how many people bought new bottom brackets to stop it creaking and it wasn't the BB

  • Those people have more money than sense. I can assure you its the bb. It's the classic Royce ti BB issue

  • My wife's grandmother passed away recently and the funeral was streamed. I have a link to rewatch and I'd like to download the video if possible. I don't really know what I'm doing so is anyone able to help?

    This is the source:

  • That file is a .m3u8 which means you it doesn't stream like a .mp4 and so it's not as straightforward to download. You can try a Chrome extension like this:

    But I've never used one so can't vouch for it.

  • That worked perfectly, thanks!

  • What are the alternatives to a Chris King Inset7 - I think its 1/8 to 1/2 - headset? Even more specifically a yellow or gold one....thanks good people of LFGSS

  • Hi all - I bought something from a European shop paying via PayPal and they messaged me back the next day saying they'd made a pricing mistake so wouldn't honour the sale and they refunded. In the space of 3 days, the 500 euros (£457) I paid out, magically became £432 back in.....surely this is grossly unfair given, well, everything....Anything I can do?

  • Don't pay by PayPal.

  • Raise it as a dispute with PayPal.

  • I'm thinking they didn't refund through Paypal properly and instead just directly sent you the (net) money they received from you after PayPal fees. How does the monies received transaction appear in your PayPal activity?

  • Both say 500euro and it's the original payment seemingly refunded. The issue is obviously the exchange rate I got my sums slightly wrong (have edited) but I've lost over £25 which seems unfair given the circumstances

  • A quick check seems to suggest Paypal's bid-ask spread, i.e. what you will lose if you exchange to another currency and back is about 4%. I think you just need to accept it as part of the risk of international transactions, TBH. Try using a credit card next time, though.

  • It's annoying but I'm not sure how unfair.
    Unless Paypal gave you an artificially shitty exchange rate to make a few quid, which I think they do unless you select the bit that says use the proper visa rate

  • I feared that might be the case - whilst there could be risk of abuse/fraud, in this circumstance it's absolutely shit/unfair. I pay someone x amount in good faith; they decide they won't honour it and refund less than I paid! very shit!

  • On the face of it, given the circumstances it seems unfair (obviously having lost money through no fault or choice of my own). Perhaps there should be a facility that ensures refunds/especially instigated by seller are returned in the buyer's main currency. Anyway, looks like I'll have to suck it up

  • I pay someone x amount in good faith; they decide they won't honour it and refund less than I paid!

    You are being unfair here. The shop have almost definitely refunded exactly what they received.

  • Fine ....the world is unfair. One of us had to lose out financially and in this instance it seems (well, is) the party that made an error, didn't honour and cancelled a transaction hasn't lost out, whilst the person that did everything on good faith has. Anyway, it gets filed in the 'good to know' section!

  • It's possibly also a PayPal related thing.
    If it was a credit card then the shop could have authorised the payment but not taken it immediately. Then they'd have been able to just release the hold and nobody loses out.

    Possibly it doesn't work like that with PayPal and they take the money immediately to cover their risk. And passing FX risk onto every shop would stop a lot of them selling abroad, hence services like Paypal get in the middle. I know you know this and it's mostly just annoying.

  • Anyone know if I need to pull the coils out my Fox Vanilla r32 to do the seals? Seems like I can probably do it by pulling the lowers off and then filling them from the bottom as I've seen air forks done but trying to find anyone with experience of doing forks this way?

  • The shop have almost definitely refunded exactly what they received.

    Whereas what they're legally obliged to do is refund the amount the customer paid. If it was a UK shop I'm assuming most people wouldn't be happy receiving a refund of the money they paid less the card transaction fee.

  • I'm assuming most people wouldn't be happy receiving a refund of the money they paid less the card transaction fee.

    *triggered* Fucking CTT's non-refundable £1 transaction fee PER RACE

  • CTT's non-refundable £1 transaction fee

    It's not a transaction fee, it's a booking fee. That vital revenue stream pays for the CTT Web site running costs board's hookers'n'coke

  • Whereas what they're legally obliged to do is refund the amount the customer paid.

    Didn't the customer pay €500?
    It's not down to the shops in other countries to cover fx fluctuations when they're advertising things in their local currency.

    If they sold it for £450 then fine, refund £450 (and they take the hit or not).
    If they sold it for €500 then refund €500.
