Post Office?

 

 

I don't think they will give him his money back...

But maybe they'll give him his mags back?

Ah. Right. Maybe.

Post Office?

 

They manage to deliver my bills, each and every one. Being a farmer I have a PO Box and my local post office assures me they have never received a Tread mag for me.

While we are in dream land perhaps my Ibis Mojo (which I may have won after all) is also waiting with my magazines.

Probably not!

Yeah, probably not.

TZ, I will alert Sean to this post, and let's see what can be sorted. I can understand your frustration.

I thought I'd catch up on technology a couple of years back & got sold a phoneless cord.  Look, i'm not complaining at the price but it didnt turn out helluva useful.

I'v got a problem with Shiamno.....

I bought a full Dura Ace 7900 equiped bike in December. Paid top SA Rands at LBS.

The STI caps within 2 months corroded and bubbled. I did a internet search, and found that Shimano internationally had picked up a few problems with this, and would simply swop them out. Well i sent my caps back to Shimano SA, throught my LBS 3 months back. And nothing has been done? on monday i was told another 6 weeks?? all this time i'v been riding without caps on the shifters (a sharp exposed edge has ever cut holes in my winter gloves!!). These things are so small that for a few rands could be posted ex. overseas..... if Shimano SA were even iterested in looking after me?

I always support local agents, and even pay higher prices (we all know shimano is available cheaper online), but seriously disappointed!!!!

This type of patch only works on mtb tyres providing the pressure is less than 30 psi/2 bar. They are only a temp emergency fix imo.

Thank you.

I have spoken with them on the phone and it hasn't helped. Hopeful Sean will sort me out.

Guess they just don't like me.

No Tread magazines, no refund, no phone call... oh well... back to Ride or Multi.
