brussel Posted May 30, 2022 Share I think the seller's name is Tawn. He sold a pair of roval wheels to my kid and did not specify they where boost, he also claimed the rim tape was in great nick. We looked at them closely after he left and they were boost and the rim tape was damaged. We made contact and he said he would resolve it but has not. We've offered to come to drop them at his place to no avail. We have made calls, whatsapp, telegram and direct on bike hub and now he has ghosted us. No luck. I would like to return the wheels and get the money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brussel Posted May 30, 2022 Share Nick from Bike Hub Hi Brent, Unfortunately, we suspect that the bikermouse848 account (banned in early April) is a notorious scammer named Taun Bewsher. He has had a number of accounts on Bike Hub over the years which we continue to ban once they are discovered. Here is an ongoing discussion about his scams in the bike tour sector: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same guy. Bikermouse = Taun Taun moved down to the Cape somewhere in the past year. He created the Bikermouse profile to be able to snoop on the discussions around his Bike Tour scams Cock-ups. I did inform other members about this and even raised the duplicate account issue with ADMIN. Sorry to Brussel for having a run-in with this guy. Leopards seldom change their spots, unfortunately.
