So starts my new 27.5 build

Recommended Posts

I flipped my lid after think it was 6-8 weeks, with weekly promises that they will have it in the next day or 2.

 

In the end I bought via CWC, was sorted out quickly, had a bit of a delay because the Hope hubs was having a bit of a stock problem, but otherwise I've had fantastic service from CWC, and this was them building me a 650b wheel set before 650b really took off.

 

time frame was Sep/Oct 2012

 

My recommendation, pull the plug, get them from Wayne at CWC.

Thanks will give them till Friday.

only snag I had the rear was build as a 135.

 

with Hope's the hub is standard, they have adapters that go onto the hub that changes it from 135 to 142, once we figured out that the wrong adapter was supplied he send me the right one immediately, and had the courier company collect the incorrect one on delivery.

Why don't you contact TwoWheels directly and find out whats happening with the rims, Victor normally responds very fast,

 

these days with DHL etc they can have the parts on site within 24 hours.

Last plan, cancel the order, phone CWC in Cpt.

Know they had loads of stock recently, and they normally ship to door within 24 hour.
