SO i bought a pair of Sun Ringle 29er rims which arrived today. On their website they're described as
follows, Sun Ringle Wheels Factory MTB Black Flag Pro Wheelset - 29" 2011 Pair F&R - Black
However, the rims are black and the hubs are gold. Whilst they look great they're not exactly what i thought.
Anyway.. i digress. The main issue is the lack of abilty to fit my Bonty Mud X rubber to them. They're quite simply
almost impossible to get on there. SO SO tight... tighter than i'd be happy doing on the side of a trail in the
frost and snow anyway. Just as hard to get them off as you can imagine.
LAstly, the weight of the item is 200g heavier than stated, whilst this is normal i guess with weights
in this instance it puts them a lot closer to the weight of my current wheels to make them REALLY a great buy
So based upon the 3 reasons above i'm planning on returning them to CRC for a refund.. but worry about the following
"If you're not completely satisfied with an item you may return it within 12 months of purchase, and as long as the item isn't fitted
or used we're happy to receive it back for a refund."
Techincally speaking i've 'fitted' some rubber to them, but not actually put either in the bike.
They both look brand new still of course, but i'm worried they'll be percieved as 'used' if there's
a tiny mark or something i've not seen.
On top of that "NOTE: Please do not tape up or attach labels direct to the retail packaging, please wrap the item first"
Do they mean the outside of the box ? surely i need to attach a returns address to it etc.
Any thoughts appreciated.
