Bah I'd just about talked myself into buying some and saw the price has gone up since this morning.
I think I'll pass now.
Does anyone else know of any other bargain-tastic tubeless wheel offers about?
Same here - I was going to buy a pair later tonight.
ho hum. Snooze you lose etc.
maybe CRC have noticed an influx of buyers and figured they could lift the price (also happened with halfords garmin 800?). They had a 17 function crank brothers for about £11, suddenly bounced to £17 in the Xmas presents ideas page.
Is chainreactioncycles being slow at processing?
Yes they are shorty!
I've paid for delivery by 12pm so they best have been dispatched today for delivery tomorrow. Going to be livid if not as I've books morning at home on the proviso that I babysit my nephew.
Can't believe the price has gone up so much. Must have had plenty of stock at least for them to stay in stock and put the price up
Good thing, this solves my dilemma 😀
Guess I'll just build another wheelset since I have a set of extra rims.
Just sent CRC an email to see what they say about deliveries
I'm been dithering about getting some Chargers as spare wheels for the past week, but now the price has gone up I'll just buy some Hope Hoops if (when) my XT wheels die.
Makes sense cheers-drive.
Got excited when the door went and a postie was outside... Mum has sent me a shoe box!! Grrr
Haha my order still hasn't been processed....
LIVID
Just got off the phone to CRC, apparently the wheels are likely to be in a part of the warehouse only accessible by forklift so it may take more than a day to despatch. Even though I've asked for 24hours delivery I still won't get them in time for tomorrow or indeed the Winchester STW ride - grrr. I've had all delivery costs refunded though but should still be sent in the same time frame.
Surely if they know it's not aaccessible and may take longer then they that should be priority...
you would think wouldn't you. Can't say I'm at all impressed at the moments over practicalties of getting them. If it's an issue then it should be noted on the product page as not being achievable.
In all fairness it's just gone Christmas and every man and his dog are probabbly doing orders so they're probably hard pressed to meet demands. Just a bit bah-humbug that my order wasn't done sooner given I asked for priority dispatch and discussed wuickest way of gettting them with a CRC member,
Yeah ordered a groupset from action sports and it's taking an age to be delivered
Had any more progress with your order?
No, nothing. How about you? Doubley annoyed now as they've not even responded to yesterdays email (normally receive within 12-24hours).
Mine are still in processing. Annoying as it's gonna hold up a build 🙁
People on the chainreactioncycles are having problems with orders aswell
facebook*
Just had a look at Facebook. Noticed CRC haven't commented on anything recently. I think they are proper busy and the 10day delays have been over Chrimbo so would have been manic! Trying not to get wound up as I know from my work that Christmas is a build up and recover industry and I'm just being impatient. As long as I get them though, if not they can give me another offer on wheels to make up for it.
Yeah it's just a pain. Hopefully they shall post tomorrow fingers crossed 😛
Problem I have is that next week I won't be around to collect!!
Aye it is a pain. Some people on the facebook seem to have got their order really quickly
Have you noticed all the black ones are now gone?
Squeaky bum time...
I was going to buy a set of the Charges before the price went up. Reckon the On-One Max wheelset is the way to go now, unless anyone can see anything better for £150?
The on-one's do look good VFM. Don't know about the weight though. Superstar have a sale on their stuff so the alex rimmed wheels are now a bit cheaper again
Taff - Surely we have secured them if not then they will have to give them us at the price we paid for them
I've heard stories on here about people gettign emails saying that they are out of stock especially in an influx of orders. I'd like to think that they go out of order automatically based on stock control.
Is the phone line open tomorrow?
When I look it still says instock
Edit. Yeah they have gone
Yes it is. I'll be ringing in the afternoon about 3ish if my status isn't updated.
The golds are in stock but the blacks are gone
I wouldn't mind the golds as performance isn't affected but I prefer to get what I paid for.
Let me know how you get on tomorrow if you ring. Will do the same
Yeah will do
Tried phoning and they are closed for the new year
ARGH!! Why are they closed today?! I'm sure the bloke said they closed sat until mon
Placed an order with Wiggle last night at 11.30. Had an email at 7.45 telling me it's ready for shipping.
I've emailed them. Did you get a response from email?
No never had a response. They're a safe sender too so I know I would get a reply if they sent one
I'VE BEEN DISPATCHED!!!!!!!!
Miracle! How long did that take?
Tuesday. Have yours been dispatched? Just waiting for the parcelforce shipping reference to go live so that I can find out when it's being delivered as I doubt it will be tomorrow so may need to get a house sitter for Tuesday.
