Stretch Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Hi All,I know Morne personally and can attest to his person. He is not a scammer and a really decent person. He is working at getting admin right. He clearly in ignorance made an honest mistake. He made an honest mistake with me also in the past, but he was truly willing to make right and it lead to a great relationship built.We are always quick to fry someone without knowing them from a bar of soap. Now, can we calm down and give this guy a chance?Danie that's a savage first post you been waiting 2 years for that one Vetplant, MBMtbGirl, Quagga and 8 others 11
Hairy Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 So you still don't actually think that you were in the wrong here, am I right? Patchelicious, Quagga, Rock Guy and 5 others 8

NickGM Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 15 years experience and you don’t know the difference between 29” and 650b I've been riding bikes for 30 years and occasionally I try to unscrew a LHS pedal in the anticlockwise direction. It doesn't mean that I don't know the difference. For what it's worth, Morne once managed to get a Lyne dropper post working again, which I'd already once sent to Lyne to look at themselves because it was sticking. (And no, it wasn't an overtightened seatclamp). My point is that he's not the clueless mechanic some people are trying to paint him out to be. And then there are people calling him a scammer. It's a very strange scam where you stay in touch with the person you conned, offer to pay him back... and then actually pay him back. It was a mistake to send the wrong fork and inconsiderate to not refund right away. The OP was correct to be annoyed. Morne stuffed up there and he's owned it. But it's nothing more sinister than that. Still people skim read the thread and resort to lowest-common-denominator behavior because they want to make a contribution on a popular thread. The truth is boring and bad news spreads faster. stefmeister, Kranswurm, BigDL and 1 other 4

MORNE Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 There should be a disclaimer on the main page under the bikehub logo: BikehubBeware: here be pitchfork mobs. Well it did it’s job again, so its efficacy cant be disputed yet lol.Agree - case closed though. Anyway, ill gladly remove my contribution to his marketplace profile once i know where,what, how. ADMIN!? ChrisF, BigDL and Cois 3
Underachiever Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Reading this thread back to front while sipping a glass of red.... Morne might be a descent oke, from Stellies nogal, and a good mechanic, and Afrikaans But He's got a lot to learn about how to deal with people in a polite and professional manner, especially since the mistake, intentional or not, started with him. He's the seller, the person trying to make a living of selling stuff...being it a service or stuff... Selling 101 - the customer is always king - since they pay your salary. Ask Rapide.... Sies man..

Anyway, ill gladly remove my contribution to his marketplace profile once i know where,what, how. ADMIN!?Technically you did not do a trade with the guy, so you should not have negatively rated or commented, as such you abused the system and took sides! Next time keep your urge to rate to yourself, unless you are actually doing the deal. I don't care if you think it was a moral high ground, you and others who did the same thing, now make a mockery of the rating system, which is a slippery slope! It becomes a free for all and it will end up no one can take the rating system seriously! Hairy, TheoG, stefmeister and 3 others 6
TheoG Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 And for gods sake close it.It has been resolved as far as I can tell.If another person posts about the difference between 271/2 and 29 I will slit my wrists or something equally dramatic Please go ahead make my day ...
