Worth a punt at that price.

These one’s here.

Showing as £92.69 on Wiggle

Ta!

As you say well worth a punt at that price!

Sold out

Within minutes of posting a Planet X PSA on these forums, they suddenly “sell out” or mysteriously increase in price.

There was only 3 pairs available when I looked. At that price it’s no surprise they went quick?

Thanks a set ordered also, I am hoping I can change the rear to 135mm?

Got confirmation of my order – I’ll let you know if they arrive!

Ordered mine just after 2pm and saw 6 pairs available.

Just had shipping email so looking good so far.

Websites often use auto pricing algorithms that increase pricing as stock reduces if an item is selling rapidly. You’ve no doubt witnessed some of the craziness this can
Lead to on Amazon and similar sites.

Wheels turned up today. Not bad at all for the price. You need rim tape though. 🙂

Did anyone else’s arrive ? They wanted £17.99 extra after I ordered
I’ve asked for a refund wasn’t that worried about them

Did anyone else’s arrive ?

Nope – got an email yesterday saying there was a problem with my order.

They asked me to pay an extra £55.00 (bringing total £79.99) – I politely declined!

Thats a bit shady. Looks like I got lucky. What was the reason for trying to increase the charge?

What was the reason for trying to increase the charge?

Just that they were listed wrong and the selling price was £79.00. Looks like you did get lucky!

Not that fussed though – it saved me an argument with the Mrs!

now that’s cheeky.

Just spotted this.

Is it an admission from Planet-x that they use a demand led pricing structure and also that it failed on this occasion?

It’s not an admission or acceptance of anything. Simply highlighting that curious pricing isn’t unusual.

In this case it seems to have been a simple user error.

To be clear are you speaking for PlanetX here?

That price was obviously wrong. Why didnt someone say alert the seller rather than pile in? Abit dishonest.

I don’t want this to turn into a Planet-X bashing thread! I’ve had great service from them and On-One over the years.

And Hora – it’s not unusual for Planet-X to do silly cheap offers. And these were a budget wheelset to start with. If they’d been listed at 99p or something you may have a point.

@Speshpaul, I’m on holiday this week, hence the vagueness, were I at work I’d have an answer. If muffin-man got a mail saying they were priced incorrectly then I would assume that to be the correct. The wheels in question are a bit of a NOS classic so I’m not surprised there was also very limited stock.

Bloody hell, it’s like Newsnight in here.

I don’t think price was obviously wrong.

I’ve bought loads of stuff which has had 75%+ off, just needed to be cleared by the retailer. This could have been exactly that.

Got my package from on one today, ordered 2 pairs of socks amongst other things and even though cross checked and signed by the picker there were only 1 pair.

Don’t know how they sleep at night.

With warm feet?

Probably best to just enjoy your hollybobs, if that’s the level of customer assistance you’re aiming at.

Somewhere, Brant is crying.

…or partying with lesbians at a lucha libre event.

😥 I have shit circulation as well you heartless feckpig.

Not sure if that was the best attempt at customer service, but it made me chuckle!

Scandal, if CS haven’t already sorted your missing items drop me an email with your sales order number and I’ll get the ball rolling.

Trying to swap a Shimano HG50 Cassette onto the Miche Freehub Body and it’s no happening. I know one spline is a different size but i’ve tried for 30 mins now and can’t get them to line up. Definitely sold as Shimano compatible…

Karma??……

With warm feet?

It made me laugh tbh

You are a hard crowd today

TBH i assume the I dont know how they sleep at night was humour and they replied with the same

Hold on your replies may be humour as well

burnsy, will the cassette not slide over at all?

No the free hub is definitely a Miche/Bianchi Specific Spline.

Only takes a M Type Cassette. Click the link you’ll see it at the very bottom of the webpage .

Have a look here, you’ll see what I mean.

So pretty much a complete planetx screw up then.

Well, at least they haven’t made themselves look dodgy as well.

Hi sq225917 did these fall of the back of a lorry? 😉

Fall off the back of a lorry, they aren’t buckled as well are they?

what a dodgy old set up.
