What did you expect them to do exactly? Give you a free shock pump because you complained?

I agree that the ad should probably say OEM but I can't see anything wrong with their customer service.

At that price it's fairly obvious they are OEM anyway.

If they are real you need to get them stored properly asap or soon they will not be worth anything.
Worth buying a cheap humidor if you find out they are real.

Thanks for the info!

Cool. Do you know who makes e-type square taper BBs? I have not seen them before.

Great – cheers

Macavity – that bike is awesome!!!

So it seems no-one is using them….

The Alfine 11 is about a thousand times more exciting than this announcement.

They look much nicer!
You can get them tight enough then?
I would have thought that might be difficult as they are aluminium.

Chain Reaction has something like 50,000 products… hard to believe that 25 eggs could be found so quickly, especially with the site running so slow.

My guess is geeks worked out a way to automate their searching… that's what I was trying to do anyway!

I do the occasional stint of lurking…!
Might be interested if the price is right… :)

@fettling – £1k eh? Sounds like Interesource bargain-basement prices to me… :)

Don't know of any decent free ones, but most paid for software offers a free trial which should be long enough to do what you want.
Try Apple iWeb or Adobe Dreamweaver.

Cool – thanks for the replies guys.

Thanks for the info guys.

I agree with Podium here – it’s a matter of principal. They should have passed it on.

I work with online sales systems and implementing something like a VAT change on a database driven system like this would be as easy as editing a single value in a database from 17.5 to 15. A one minute job at most.

No big deal though, I’ll still shop there :)

There will be special offers on the current model next month – hold fire.

Yeah I saw CRC are cheap but unfortunately they only do a couple of sizes. Sods law they are not the sizes I want… :)

Seems like some people think any company who attempts any kind of marketing is inherently evil and is trying to rip people off. This is both ridiculous and naive. Try actually running a company without marketing and advertising – you’ll either fail miserably or be running things from your bedroom for the rest of your life. Get real.
