MTB_Roadie Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 If you did not know what dimpled wheels are, would you go and advertise any old set as dimpled event though you had no idea what it means? ? Not necessary, there are many trustworthy guys here on the hub that I have had dealings with and Edge is one of them.I have 2nd hand equipment lying in the garage that I bought almost 6 month ago from another trusted hubber, still dont know if they work 100% cause I havent yet gone through the trouble of building my TT bike. But I trust that the equipment is 100% because I trust his word. Yes that makes sense....I didnt say by giving rims that was not dimpled is right...that section is wrong. I was talking about he crack part.... Also I dealt with loads of people and believe Edge is a honest person...just think it might have been better to talk it out in Private than to name and shame each other here...
Johan Bornman Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 I may be wrong, but I've never seen Zipp wheels with red nipples and black spokes. If this is the case, those wheels have also been rebuilt. However, your photos are contradictory. You show one wheel with black spokes, yet refer to another photo of that wheel with silver spokes. Explain that.

Tankman Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 In your professional opinion Johan, does that crack look like something that could happened during transit? To me it clearly looks like a crack from an impact.
MariusL Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 very valid point!! I also only noticed that nw, the one in the pic has silver spokes, the other one black spokes....mmmm Both sets have red nipples... I think it's just the spokes look black - I could be wrong...

MTB_Roadie Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Both sets have red nipples... I think it's just the spokes look black - I could be wrong... Okay, might be, then he must just take pics of the full wheel
wisecrack Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Why not buy a 303 or 404 rim and have the wheel rebuilt it should be the cheapest solution.
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Hope you have a conversation with 'Snip' and come to mutual understanding/This is not the place for such discussion. In support to a meaningful end for you both.
Tankman Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 An impact of that magnitude whould have crushed the box and upon delivery would have raised a good deal of suspicion.. Edge is an importer and would flag that and open them - I have had many dealings with edge on honour and integrity and he's a straight up guy. I meant impact from the wheel hitting a pothole/brick/railway track while it was being used while cycling.
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 forget about how it was damaged. My question: It was sold 11 Jan 2011, and it was paid by buyer On the 21 Fen 2011 the buyer come back with a damage wheel picture. To me, sorry, I cannot see Snip at fault here. Anyone of you !!! WHEN YOU BUY CARBON WHEELSM THE FIRST THING YOU WILL DO IS POLISH IT, GET IT NICE AND BLING..Surely you should pic up a big damage like that within 6 weeks. Sorry, but that do not add up.
wisecrack Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 One rim costs more than this entire transaction. Ouch
Tankman Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Since Shaun hasn't ridden them this would be "pre-delivery" damage we are on the same page. That is also what I am thinking. The tubby might have been replaced and wheel rebuilt after the indecent occurred before it being sold. Edited February 28, 2011 by Tankman
Johan Bornman Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 In your professional opinion Johan, does that crack look like something that could happened during transit? To me it clearly looks like a crack from an impact. My money is on a side impact crack. IN other words, not something that happens from hitting a cat-eye. But without examining the wheel from where the tyre sits, I cannot say with certainty.
Caerus Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Both sets have red nipples... I think it's just the spokes look black - I could be wrong... There are also different decals on the wheels?
eggsovereasywithteandtoast Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 I dont get the purpose of the swop.What were you to gain, by swopping these wheels?"to get a set out there" means "to get exposure" ?? What made 'snip' worthy? A new cyclist by admission. No dreadlocks. come on !!!
