Marius Posted May 30, 2006 Share 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!!! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudsimus Posted May 30, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted May 30, 2006 Share yesss, about 300grams lightersmileys/smiley18.gifsmileys/smiley19.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linnega Posted May 30, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted May 30, 2006 Share 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted May 30, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
