Bought a wheel off classifieds this week...

Hub described as 'as new', pics with wheel on bike looked fine. Posted quickly after Paypal payment.

Received today....surprised to find a broken rotor bolt in the hub.

No mention of this from seller during any communication.

Hopefully my normal optimistion about human nature will be played out, but I am feeling a bit p'd off at the moment.

For those who may say "Don't worry just use it with 5 bolts" thanks but no thanks.

[i]Hub described as 'as new'[/i]

Was it as described aside the rotor bolt?

Was it sheared off at the head or further down the screw? May not have noticed if it was only a short section of the screw.

This could be useful...

Having just spoken with the seller, I'm much happier than I was....seems a decent bloke.

Molegrips about to be wielded. Head is sheared - still a bit to grab onto.

Must stay off the Stella of a Saturday night....temper, temper
