I ordered one of the bargain Fox 34's from Germany on the 20th and still no sign of them. The DHL tracking seems to be saying the haven't moved since the 22nd and are still somewhere in Germany. Not speaking German I'm not sure what to do?! Any advice welcome.
Contact the seller they will speak English and are the people who can do something
amazingly Johnny foreigner speaks the queens English better than some of the natives
My DHL tracking was still showing as in Germany when they arrived on my doorstep.
True enough, conveniently everyone speaks English, I will give it a few days and see what happens.

Ja, sicher.
The ones i got from Germany showed dispatched from Germany then no update until the morning they were out for delivery.took about 8-10days iirc so maybe not all bad just yet.
Thanks Andy, that is reassuring.
Often deliveries from Germany change courier as they leave Germany and enter UK. Yes even DHL where it's the same company can end up going to ukmail. If you stick your number into other tracking sites you might find more info.

They'll be sat with the KFC Chicken
Ordered mine midday Wednesday 21st and they arrived yesterday. They arrived at Gatwick late Friday where they spent the weekend, then out for delivery 7am Monday. Update page seemed to keep good track of them.
ah shit sorry OP i feel slightly responsible if it was the PSA thread I started. Hope you get it sorted!
notice they have gone down in price also now €190.59
I had some tyres delivered... they used DHL Germany which then becomes a different company when it gets to the UK.
As I remember the delay was because they arrive din the UK Gatwick Depot and were waiting on a specific ins ruction from the sender in Germany... who said they had not been told they had to issue some instruction (as far as I can tell they were telling the truth) ... and after I called they expedited and the tyres arrived a day or so later. Sadly AFTER I'd left for the weekend.
Out of interest, does anyone know if these 34 Rhythms in 29er Boost would take a 29x3 tyre comfortably?
Just going by eye… no,
As I missed the original PSA this has prompted me to buy a set of the Rhythms; my bike came with them and a set isn’t much more expensive than a service so I may as well keep a spare at that price.
They are great forks, but I couldn’t see a 29x3 tyre fitting in them. Plenty of clearance for my 27.5x2.8 and 27.5x3 would fit easily, but 29x3 would be too close to the brace I’d imagine.
wheres the cheapest place to get a set of rythems?
damn if they where 140 id buy it for just being so cheap
Bagstard, i just looked up my delivery info and they took 11 days to arrive. Ordered on 8th, dispatched on 12th, sent to receiving country on 13th, arrived in receiving country on 18th and delivered on 19th.
Hope this helps. Happy with mine, they are a great fork at a great price.
Mine arrived in 3 days, couldn't believe how quick delivery was.
Also the Matt finish ones come with some nice stealthy dark grey decals not the green ones pictured. That's if there's still a choice between Matt and shiny that is.
I hope mine are that colour. It sounds exactly like the ones that came with my Ghost.
@Munrobiker: here’s a Knard mounted on a 30mm rim with Fox 34 Rhythms

If anyone needs a set of new Foxes then pm me as I have a fit grip model going new in packaging.
pm me 👍
Don't worry. The fork will arrive.
Work already on the second bike with such a Fox budget fork. Simply amazed how good these forks are!
Shipments: order - beside the forks - lots of other stuff from them. The shipments are strange - they arrive extremely quick ... or you have to wait. No idea why there is this difference.
Forks and stuff from other companies: this winter sale was sooo good this year! My old bikes are suddenly in such a fantastic shape!
Mine arrived in 2 days, which is pretty impressive. CRC and Wiggle can take longer.
Is that really €190 ??????
Suddenly the self build Chameleon seems to be back on the cards.
A 29*3 Chupcabra will for, but there’s only about 3-5mm of clearance at the arch and the sides. A 29*3 minion only just clears the arch, but is narrower, so more space at the sides. That was on a 120mm 2018 Fox 34 29 Factory Boost fork.
Yes, <£200 and they're absolutely brilliant.
Brassneck: exactly what I've done

I didn’t need to see this... I’d assumed they’d sold out! 😭
Hm, wondering what else could use a fork...
On tracking, yep last time I ordered from these guys I noticed the tracking only worked from base to airport in Germany and then it disappeared off the map til getting to my door. As above, courier changes and tracking is not kept up for customer although presumably vendor still has visibility.
/\ /\ Nice looking bike jad.
Is that a Large?
Was seriously tempted by a Chameleon (which is why I ordered this fork), but now leaning towards a Stanton Sherpa.
Yep it’s a large. My wife’s taller than me 😳
Mine had full DHL tracking details door to door.
Well did they turn up ok?
As it turned out they had been delivered in two days and tucked away out of sight at my work. The senders were great and responded straight away to my email, can't fault them.
Are these too long for a Pinnacle Ramin....?
Sorted now by the looks of it, but in case anyone has the same issue i found that the tracking link on the email stopped updating when they left Germany, but if you copied the tracking number into DHL UK website instead it gave full tracking start to finish.
