Andrew_Smith Posted March 27, 2019 Share Hi Hubbers, Long story short, I bit the bullet and went over to the Dark Side. Saw an ad for a set of 2017 Giant SLR 1 carbon wheels and sent the seller (Cranker) a WhatsApp message holding thumbs it is still available. Must be my lucky day, it was! The reason why I wanted to create this post in the first place is that I was so impressed with Carlu's special care and effort with the sale. Firstly his communication was top notch, responsive and very detailed. Secondly, he was very honest (something that isn't that common these days). Now the best part, he went out of his way with safely, securing the wheels for me: "Your wheels are wrapped. I hope you have a sharp box knife. Please be careful when cutting the box open, so you don't cut the tyres. I wrapped them in a blanket and in cardboard." Oh, did I tell that he paid for the courier as well? This is why I love the Bike Hub platform. Cyclists looking out for other cyclists. Cannot wait to try the wheels out tomorrow on the road and grab some PRs (or even KOMs if I am lucky) Thank you Carlu for all your trouble and effort with the wheels, I really do appreciate it sincerely and if I ever come to Mossel Bay area I would like to join you for a ride and coffee afterwards. #RideOn BaGearA, tjommies3, Ferro and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted March 27, 2019 Share I just want to clarify my "Flipping Awesome" statement was for the seller and you posting about it .... not about your willing choice of going over to the Dark Side Unfortunately not, work is interfering...Luckily we are planning a ride to Franschhoek on Saturday.
