pfft, I once returned a can of Irn-bru
I don't know if it's me but the rotor on the webpage 'looks' like a 160?
not just you, in the pic it is a 160, caliper bolted directly to fork with no step-up adaptor kinda confirms that unless RS now using PM180 mouns on their forks, but that that's still a 160 in the pic, but on the 'FULL SPECS' tab it lists 180.
either way it's not worth worrying about...

You what?
Mind this can work the other way to.Back in 03 i brought a Trek liquid which was suppose to come with Rock Shox forks and shock but turned up with Fox front and back.So i definitely never took it back EXCELLENT 😆
to continue the trek theme, order a bike but by the time it arrived the model was discounted by £200, got it at the revised price.
When I picked up my kona I had to take the wheels off to put in the car. Very nice suprise to spot that it had the Sram x9 type 2 mech! The web just says x9. Felt rather smug.
I returned a pint of McEwans lager once, what do I win?
It's not a great exspence for the shop to change it , I'm a touch surprised they did not just fit a 180 as a good will thing
But it's not unusual for the spec to be inaccurate now as then
The problem is nothing to do with giant thought as your contract is with the shop
The whole point is though he bought it from a shop, he had the chance to inspect it. Had he bought it on-line then this is the sort of thing the distance selling regs are there to protect as you don't have a chance to inspect the goods before purchase. Sure a 180mm to 160mm change rotor size difference would probably pass most people by but then he clearly noticed it later and if it's that much of an issue for him it should have been on his checklist at the bike shop. It's absolute bollocks making a comparison with advertising it as a full carbon super bike and actually giving you a £50 Halfords special
Hi Guys,
Just thought it would be worth pointing out that, as some have commented, most bike shops don't check the specification of each bike that comes in against the website and/or brochure.
Most will state that specifications are subject to change and there are various reasons that they might. Mostly it would be down to a shortage of a certain product and sometimes it is just an error or omission.
In any case the first thing to do would be to go back to the shop and see if they can resolve the issue. As mentioned the Manufacturer or distributor will always refer you back to the shop as the contract of sale is with them.
Hopefully the OP will update the thread with his opinion on how the situation here is being resolved and that it is to his satisfaction.
