Grey imports

So if someone's servicing your misses better than you' date=' is that fine?

It's also about loyalty mate!

I did not marry my bike, and I don't have sex with my bike either.  Wierdo.

 

I think this has maybe gone a little over your head.

And it's weirdo just for the record

A very unlikely scenario, as BigGuy is in proportion all over!  All my missus' lady friends agree on this one.

Precisely

I quick look at chainreactioncycles.com is very informative.  They still see 8 speed as their biggest seller.

I see this thread is going south.

 

I have no problem with CWC importing their own goods, they have saved me some bucs in the past. If they can back up thir goods, good on you.

 

The Puzzler , glad to see that a regular(when did you sign this fake avatar up???) hubber like yourself tries to spread the good news on the hub, NOT.

 

I will still buy from CWC. Maybe the Puzzler is the Riddler from Batman, so your evil plan did not work.

 

What I like is people saying it as it is. But this guy is just a gossip. like a little girl

[jamis1]

Hmmmm Gray wheels that should go nicely with my Gray and white Giant maybe a white saddle I wander if CWC will have a white saddle I hope that gray wheels are not all sold out.

I bought a set of Mavic ES's from Comobike in 2006. It had a serial number on it. I am sure Mavic uses serial numbers to trace the manufacturing date as well as to which Agent/Distributor/Shop they sold it to.

[Speed Devil]

Chris Willemses' store has been raided and all grey import Mavic Wheelsets from which the serial numbers have been removed were confiscated.

This was done to protect the public from buying Mavic wheelsets which are brought into the country in an illict manner.

 

Riding with wheels like these will not only void the warranty but may expose the cyclist to a wide range of liability issues.

 

Mavic takes quality and service very seriously and will do anything in their power to protect the public from pirated products.

 

 Boy am i glad i got mine from a reputable dealer -  they have changed my cycling experience

 

Legally CWC are not allowed to divulge any info regarding this matter seeing as it is now under investigation.

So what puzzles me, is the fact that Puss(ler) knew that only the wheels without serial numbers were confiscated. The only way is if he was is an agent for Mavic and went snooping around CWC floor and looking for these abnomilies on the wheels.

He probably also stood over the road and watched the whole show going down and probably felt very warm inside by his actions.

Puzzler, wake up and smell the roses. You can't kill free trade.

I don't know what you were hoping to accomplish with this act, because CWC has always honoured their warranties.....TJOP!!!!

If I buy Mavic wheels from CWC and they break a year down the line. How can I prove that I bought them from CWC if there is no serial number on the wheels? They could have come from anywere. The invoice will be void in such a case.

As JB said, only complete wheel sets have serial numbers on and not loose rims. Maybe the wheels that CWC brought in were built up in an LBS from loose components and then sold to CWC.

This is the same like doping in cycling - push the limits as far as you can but stay just within the legal limits or dont get caught. This issue goes as far as my pocket. As long as I get good service good quality and good prices, they will have my support. The rest of the politics doesn't really matter.

[Edition 507]

I personaly feel they should confiscate all grey imports. It is just such a dowdy colour that it cannot possibly flatter modern day bling bikes. Well done to the fashion police for raiding CWC

[Guest Big H]

Can I just remind you what was said at the "infamous" price fixing meeting where everybody came out as heroes......

 

Copied from the "so called inaccurate minutes" ........

 

"Wholesalers should supply less retailers (Be selective to whom they supply)
Overtime wholesalers will weed out unpopular retailers
You will be selling less units but your profit will increase "

 

HAS THE WEEDING OUT BEGUN???????????
