Frankly ridiculous bargain, expect loads of sales, plus disruption of bank holiday. I'd not be worried they haven't shipped yet its really not been that long.

Thanks for the heads up on this, which I initially didn’t bother reading as I didn’t need forks - I was looking for a lightly flared handlebar though, so this is good - and we’ve got some 'store credit' from a previous botched order(!). I ordered the bars earlier this week and had a dispatch notification yesterday. Yet to arrive of course but at £9 posted - and I like them having ridden with the same on another bike - I can afford to wait.

My crank and bars arrived yesterday.
And are now fitted.
Who knew that curly bars could feel so different in use.

Yeah, my Pikes arrived pretty quickly but I did jump on the PSA very early on.

I've just had notice that mine are now in shipping.So thats at least something.

However, the parcel force tracking number isnt producing anything so its either too early or the wrong number 😆 So I have no idea as to when they are scheduled to arrive.

I ordered some gravel wheels two weeks ago from Ribble, and they shipped within a few days. But from day one the Parcel Force tracking number wasn't recognised, but I thought that was just a glitch. After contacting Ribble last Friday, it turned out that they hadn't put my house number on the shipping, it was just the road name. Ribble contacted Parcel Force and they cannot locate it either, I was asked to wait and see if they turned up over the week, or if they could locate them in the meantime.

Still nothing arrived so I contacted Ribble again yesterday to ask them to send out another set and they can deal with Parcel Force about the missing items, as yet I have had no response. It's not been a great experience.

Magically, I've just received an email from Ribble (maybe they are reading this thread!). It turns out it was never dispatched, hence the Parcel Force number not working, etc.

Strange that it was just sitting in their warehouse for almost 2 weeks, but anyway, it's now on it's way...yayy!

My parcelforce tracking number magically came to life this morning.

The stages are listed from the 9th, though the email from Ribble let me know the order had been completed the 6th.
But anyway, its gone through from Preston depot to Glasgow depot and are currently 'out for delivery'

So we shall see what happens. Hopefully they will arrive this very day and I'll update.

It has all been a bit of a long drawn out process, but given the 1/2 price saving on the Pikes, it's worth the time.

My order (placed on the 19th of April) still hasn't arrived. Apparently it was posted a week ago. Without tracking. Genius.

My order of GRX cranks turned up just now ordered 19th April, dispatched last Thursday, parcel force (no tracking) my account on ribble still shows no orders even though I got charged and got order confirmation and dispatch email, great bargain but not very slick experience.

Do you wanna bet its been sat next to my parcel, still in the warehouse? It looks like the dispatch team are having difficulty keeping up with demand.

Hoorays 😀
My Pikes have turned up a few mins ago. All day wait in, but at least thats all done now.

Only niggle and I dont know if its a niggle or not, is the compression knob is a bit of a tight turn. Turns, but its nothing like as easy as on the lyrik. Obviously it has more range than the lyrik, but still I thought it would be easier on the fingers.

So happy bunny. Good bargain, thanks to Benz for flagging this up 🙂

I'll see if I can pick up a 27.5" Hope front wheel. Now the pro5's are out, might be a pro4 on sale for cheap somewhere

Well, looks like I'm having better luck than you. Kind of.

A parcel turned up this afternoon. Looking at the Royal Mail stickers on the box it appears to have been posted yesterday - despite them assuring me it was posted a week ago.

Unfortunately only 1 of the 2 things I ordered was actually in the box. Gawd knows how long this is going to take to get sorted. Sigh.

Mine too

Can I ask the both of you how easy is it to turn your damper adjuster ?. Mine turns but is quite tight, and i dont think it should be as tight. Might indicate needing a strip down and reassembly.

It is a sep 2021 fork, so will have been sitting for a long time in the box

In case of interest...

https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/level-2019-dropper-post-black-27-2mm/

Couple of those cheapy Level 27.2mm dropper posts arrived today...I had a feeling they'd be more than the stated 50mm travel.

They're 100mm

Pretty hefty at 631g

Pushing down by hand in workshop, not arse force, they seem quite well sprung - hopefully about right when sat on...

Flyingpotatoes,  I got some Gripi  scissors from Aldi the other day for a few quid,  I can recommend them. 😀 Good quality for the price.

Typically they tried to deliver my wheels yesterday and hit the only time of the day when my wife was out walking the dogs...bah!
Hopefully they arrive today, right now they are still in the depot. Glad everyone is now receiving their goods.
