paulvs Posted April 30, 2008 Share Hey' date=' here's a novel idea. How about e-mailing or sending a PM to Andrew (or any bike shop owner on the HUB) FIRST to clarify issues before publically slamming them! No- I am not a CycleLab club or shop supporter. Why don't people PM other hubbers first to try and clarify issues either. I understand that there are genuine cases of complaints or unresolved issues but to publically slate someone or a shop before trying to resolve or get the other side is a poor show. (Or maybe we should rename the Hub, Die SON !!) [/quote'] I do agree with this. The hub is not - "www.hellopeter.com" And why do we always have to complain... why not be a bit positive for the sake of our nation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammajoor Posted April 30, 2008 Share Agree....rather go to the shop and moan there...why go on here. The original post was about a frikkin bike box! P.S: Is Ali the hot blond with Andrew? Yip that's Andrew's ball and chain Can also be connected to the Bloody Cyclists thread, first take it up with management if that does noet work take it up with the owner, AND IF that doesn't work burn them on the hub not the other way around. And don't post while still emotional, clouds your judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casci Posted April 30, 2008 Share Just to clear things up, all i mentioned was me having to "pay" for a bike box, which i spesifically asked the said salesperson for a cardboard one that you receive your bikes in? he confirmed, yes. I have no problem paying for a new box, it was only R95 anyway......but thats not what i asked for, just a misunderstanding i guess, seriously this wasnt meant to be a "Cyclelab bashing" so why everyone came on board with there gripes i dont know......i havent had problems with Cyclelab ever, and have also on an occasions been helped out above and beyond the call of duty by Mr Mc himself, with a late entry. So to Cyclelab,, thanks for what you do for cycling SA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

word Posted April 30, 2008 Share Casci If you want to use my bike bag, pm me. It is sitting in my garage at the moment and I am not planning on travelling any time in the next 2 or 3 months. Not the greatest but it will do the same job as a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDEE Posted April 30, 2008 Share Just read through 7 pages of this and wondered if it was at all necessary.. One chaps issue with a bike box turned into a hey Andrew by the way.. jeez the other writers couldnt start another thread? The bike box issue was relevant and after reading the replies and suggestions, it seems there was cause for gripe.. I own a small business ( not a LBS ) and we mostly live and die by our service.. Its not cool when people complain about my place on a public forum, any forum, without bringing the problem to my attention first.. If I dont fix the problem or display a dont care attitude, then sure, post away.. Issues like this and others are of interest, to me and others, for the future. I didnt know that Cycle Lab had nice to have boxes, but now I do.. So how to raise the issue without making it a ' this LBS is *** ', when in fact its just one very small part or just one staff member..? If you cannot resist posting what happened, post away, but leave the name out of it, UNTIL you have had a response from the owner. AND THEN update with the response, good or bad.. Sometimes the slander/perception/generalisations on open forums, not just this one, can really hit hard for a small business. Think a little further before you hit submit... please...
