I AM THE ORIGINAL POSTER - please read! 

 

As I mentioned in my reply (post #123) - this issue is resolved! 

 

I have got my advice to machine the hub and thats what I'm going to do. Thanks to a couple of peeps who have already inboxed me to get in contact for this and all the support etc. 

 

Riyad asked for my bank details this morning, but I'm not interested in any money - the machining will be much cheaper than replacing the hub and rebuilding the wheel so I'll foot that cost myself. If he insists then I've suggested he make a donation to qhubeka.org instead - that way we all win.

 

Now everyone get back to work! :)

However, not everyone uses the rating system. I've given 15 ratings to people for transactions, how many did I get back? Three. Hardly seems fair.

 

Admin! We need a system where your rating doesn't reflect if you didn't rate the other party, or something.

 

Edit: To contribute to the original topic. Why should the OP bear the onus to check if something is as advertised? That's just dumb. I've also bought things that I didn't check immediately, it happens. There's no direct visual indication in this case, unless you're some eagle eyed cyclist. It's not like he was sold a red balloon and got a green one.

 

Edit: 70 posts until I'm allegedly a safe trader  :rolleyes:

+1, the rating system really needs a rework. Left 21, only received 7. Ratings should not show up unless they're reciprocated. I'm still very tempted to go delete all the ratings I've left.

 

Also, it's very easy to game the system if you really wanted to as there's no validation.

Most importantly that you should rather buy Shimano and stay away from Campagnolo :ph34r:

VERY TRUE!!! Left like 20 something ratings already, got 5 in return...

 

Pikey, what exactly do you do to get 60+ratings?

Good Question. Possibly having a beer with Dipslick? Haven't HEARD FROM HIM FOR A WHILE EITHER.

I heard from Dips today - he sent me something - very generous of him indeed to source and build my toy - unasked.

This is LeHub...

We fight regardless of issue status, we fight till personal attacks happen, warnings issued and threads get locked.

 

Friday is getting close, based on this thread alone I think Friday will be epic
