Thanks Meezo , will do !

Hi guys , I've got a question . My niece bought some wheels from China for her TT bike 60mm full carbon wheels . She can't use them as she gets blown all over the road with them . Is it advisable to sell in normal classifieds ( being that the copies FFwd wheels . ) cheers ,Matt

Hi , have you heard from anyone if the asiancycleexpress is ok ? Regards Matthew

Awesome guys !! Can't wait to we the S5 and paint scheme !

Wow , can u share supplier ? And some pictures complete steed !

Hi Broker , yes you can . From the supplier I used you can . Only thing is that the supplier that I used takes 20 to 30 work days to process order.cso patients is key . I out of frustration took this stock frame ( previous deal that fell through from other seller ) to speed up the process . Luckily I can say that so far the frame assembly and quality is good ( coping with 112kg and 1.9m )

So guys , I finally after allot of issues got a frame and built it up ... Here is the picture of my beauty ..

Great I've learnt allot from all the post!

Great , well I'm leaving it open till it's here . Do u know what is outcome if it doesn't arrive in 60 days ? Seems I'm 18 days away from that .or does nothing happen until I recieve the item ( not time defendant.. . ? )

Thanks for info seems I did things according what you've said . However they ( Greatkeen) now want me close dispute then they will extend the buyer protection . My gut feeling says no because seems I only get one shot at a dispute and if I relent now and get extended buyer protection I'll have a bigger fight on my hands later. And what happens when the purchase protection runs out and dispute still not resolved? Must I cancell it or keep dispute.. Not sure what is best next step .. ( ps I've used your link and only says "transporting " and destination South Africa.. So not sure where it is .. Was sent with EMS ) Thanks Matthew

Hi Martin , thanks for info . They asking that I cancell my dispute to get extended buyer protection . My gut says no ... But what happens if time runs out and I haven't received order and dispute is still ongoing... Do u have any suggestions on this unclear issue for me ? Matt

I'm not to sure where to get the direct communication email for them . Issue is the item was posted late and the purchase protection is running out. Now great keen says they will extend that if I removed dispute.. But as I see it . If I remove it, then that was my one shot to get a result.. And it smells like a empty compromise... Am I reading it wrong ? Shall I cancel the dispute to get extended purchase protection ? That's now my biggest issue

Thanks , ive opend a dispute . That seems all i can do at the moment . But thnks for advise Regards Matt

Advice / help for buying online Aliexpres ?.... I orederd a frame from supplier called "greatkeen bike" . First it was a pinarello dogma 65.1 and paid on a modified page for it . Thr process time shipping out within 30 work days .that time ran out and the store said they had production issues. Then i asked if they had stock items . Reviewed list and chose a Spes venge. The store indicated that they would send item within 24 hours . When i checked next day . There was no tracking no , their excuse was it was posted but the shipper did not gove them tracking number. 4 days later tracking number appeared on order. Latest issue , frame according to EMS CHINA has left china but not in South Africa . Trying to raise dispute to cancell but supplier refuses dispute and buyer protection is running out in 9 days and no frame in SA. Any advise .. Seems like im being scammed .

Guys , anyone buy frames from a Ali express store called : greatkeenbike ? Webpage : http://www.aliexpress.com/store/140291 I ordered a frame , and wondered if anyone had feedback . Thanks

I realised that with our cats ( womans , and mine ) we are only staff . Here im being used as a sleeping pillow.. Probably " soft" enough .

In South Africa http://www.emssouthafrica.co.za/EmsWebSite/index.htm From china ( when it says sent to airline then I've seen parcel appear in EMS South Africa within 14 days . But can vary ) http://track-chinapost.com

Hi , well i buy sllot from the webpage. But as for the wheels i paid extra to use EMS From the day they posted the wheels ( not counting time to dispatch ) it took 11 days from them to Port Elizabeth / Sunridge Park . Otherwise china post takes on average 30 days to me here. But saying that ive hadw issues with EMS tracking in JHB as i have carbon handlebars that are in customs but cannot view the tracking as thr webpage sometimes has issues . http://www.emssouthafrica.co.za/EmsWebSite/index.htm Hope it helps Matthew

Yes , did a 26km with the lady on sunday and all good . Seems that spokes have settled and now slight wabble , LBS is equalizing spoke tension and that will then be perfect. Seems the spoke tensions are not equal so u need to have that checked as a higher tensioned spoke will snap first so ive just done mine today at LbS as a preventative measure .

Ya , i know :-) , its Fosmics ;-) fake cosmics

Apologies here below the link to the site and my supplier

Hi all , i thought id leave positive feedback regarding buying from China. I previously bought a frame but never built it . Sold the frame to a friend because i wasnt sure it would accommodate my " pleasantly plump " frame ( fat in other words , 114kg @1.9m tall) . However i was researching online last month and found a supplier that has some Mavic Cosmic that according to them the test sheet and other reviews handle chaps my size . So i took the plunge and bought some. The arrived today and i immediately put them on my " perd" and took them for a 50km ride with the wife on standby if there was a issue... Needles to say no issue . 50km flue by and no issues . So from a " pleasantly plump" chap buying from China worked out great !

So glad she won !

Hi all , I've got a mechanical issue. My Ultegra STI 6600 ( right hand 10spd) only shifts 4 times . Local bike shop says they don't know how to fix and i don't have the talent to fix myself . Also , I've heard that just to look at it Shimano SA will charge me 1k. So can someone give me a idea who fixes STI Levers at a reasonable price ...
