Clear descriptions, be aware!

[Johan Bronkhorst]

Bought a set of wheels, and nowhere in the description does it say 26", obviously assuming 90% of people buy 29", common sense means it should be made clear that it is not 29". Only in the left bottom corner it wheel size is indicated as 26". In my case the seller will kindly take it back, but everybody might not be that forthcoming. Lesson learnt.

Caveat emptor

Big ups to the seller.

I have to know.... Did you ask the seller for the size? 

Was the wheel size was listed in the technical description of the ad?

I'm afraid if you don't check something as fundamental as wheel size you only have yourself to blame.

I assume this refers to the technical spec.

So it was probably indicated but I suspect as a potential buyer, we get so excited (I know I have LOL) that we may not immediately see the fine print.

The opposite holds true. Found a guy selling a set of nice mtb wheels on Facebook. 

I send him a message asking him what size they were. He responds with... They are standard size wheels that come with a standard size bike.
