Marius Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Guys, I'm like really Confused. Like some of you might know I ordered some parts to build my DT Swiss Wheelset. So to get into my head got to this website: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Brands.aspx?BrandID=92Now you'll see there is a list of DT Swiss Hubs. I wanted the NONE DISC Hubs so I picked the ones that said DT Swiss 240s Front and DT Swiss 240s Rear and I looked at the pics and it looked like it was indeed None Disc Hubs. Chainreaction send me a weird looking hub, it's weird, it's not even on that page, it looks like the DT Swiss 240s Disc Front and DT Swiss 240s Disc Rear except that it don't have a Red sticker on the inside but rather a white one like this one DT Swiss 340 Disc Front but it does not say 304 but 204 and as far as I can tell there is not a white 204 except if 204's of the same family got together and I got elbino 240's now??? Help!!!uploads/Marius/images/2006-05-30_131922_WTF.jpg
Mudsimus Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Thats why I like holding whatever I buy in my hands before paying.....smileys/smiley36.gifGoodluck!
Marius Posted May 30, 2006 Author Posted May 30, 2006 Thx, you SUCK!!!smileys/smiley36.gifsmileys/smiley2.gif
dirtrider Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 The actual product may not represent the picture ! (read the small print ) . But besides that fact , you got the wrong stuff .
scotty Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 but rather a white one like this one DT Swiss 340 Disc Front but it does not say 304 but 204 and as far as I can tell there is not a white 204 except if 204's of the same family got together and I got elbino 240's now??? Help!!! Reckon its the elbino (sic) thing smileys/smiley36.gifIf you have a good relationship with your LBS, take it to them and see if they will swop for the correct fitting. Thats what my LBS did with my derailer.
Marius Posted May 30, 2006 Author Posted May 30, 2006 oh I don't want to hear that. The help desk person said it was there fualt. I have to now send it back, myfok or he said I can still use it till I do decide to get the disks, mmmm kinda in two minds here, maybe I should keep it since every1 is disc befok??
Mudsimus Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 Send them back. Unless you plan to ugrade to discs in the near future. Discs are anyway overrated!!! I presume the non disc version is quite a bit lighter as well?smileys/smiley5.gif
Marius Posted May 30, 2006 Author Posted May 30, 2006 yesss, about 300grams lightersmileys/smiley18.gifsmileys/smiley19.gif
linnega Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 If they sent you what you didn't order, just phone or email and tell them to send you the right stuff. They will probably let you keep the wrong items - which I would be happy to take off your hands if you want to get rid of them.
Marius Posted May 30, 2006 Author Posted May 30, 2006 Nah, I'm chatting to David the help desk dude, he said I have to send it back or I can keep it and then I'd get R200 of my next purchace. I don't know, what do you think I should do, I think I should send it back but how much is that going to cost or do they pay for it??
Mudsimus Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 You didnt get what you expected,so send it back. You'll have to sort the postage out with them,otherwise you will have to pay. There's no use in keeping them,you'll never be happy.smileys/smiley11.gif
Marius Posted May 30, 2006 Author Posted May 30, 2006 Maybe some1 here wants to buy it for the price I paid for it R3k??? it's a bargain and you don't have to worry about getting it heresmileys/smiley4.gif Really cool Hubs!!!smileys/smiley36.gif There might be some1 willing to buy them, just need to confirm it with him.smileys/smiley17.gif
