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.
Bike Mob 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. He never bought them to ride, so no polishing, he bought them to resell. He has Bora's. why ride these?
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 !!!

The more important issue is that the wheels were not as described. One does not have to notice immediately for the sale to be null and voiid as it was false and misleading advertising.
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 @ the break: and it take 6 weeks to notice? come on, evem if you have Boras. if you buy to resell, you will check it out when receiving, wont you?
fabes Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Well if you think i am snip it is your opinion, IF you maybe look at my profile and then at snips, i think there will be a diffrence. Be free to look. On the other hand, the hub is here for every ones free opinoin and i gave my 5c worth. As I bought some polor stuff from her not long ago, it just seem right to justify her. There are people here that justify edge, whom is buying from him, and I dont see people say that the guy defending edges as a seller is edge self. hey snip/chickababe is polor a new brand?
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 and looking at the picture, it looks like someome try to remove the glued tire from the rim with a tire lever,.... and push the side wall in.
Santa C Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 why no comment from Snip yet? snip has commented...Read 3 posts up

If he really wanted them then maybe yes, but like he said he didnt and trusted the person. In any case, I think the issue is a simple one if the whole story from this side is all true. Snip should man-up (woman-up) and accept responsibility for false advertising and repay the buyer. It comes down to honor at the end of the day, something not often seen. She would not have a leg to stand in a legal case and she would have more to loose in legal fees.
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Hi The Break I dont think the court will rule on this. There is to many unknowns Did snip knows about the gash in the rim?reading her post she is telling that she do not know how to change a tubby, you do not change it, you glue it, and take 48 hours to dry. So, het knowledge about these type of rims is almost zero (sorry, but not in a bad way) Than, what proof are there that the damage was not done by the buyer also , was it damaged in transit. Second hand goods are mostly sell ""as is"" Asked the old guys on this forum, How I baught a brand new Tag Heuer (accialy two), paid for one, and what did I got through the post, ..... a couple of old Huigenoots and a pool pump manual. Trust me, I went through the same (almost), but at the end my seller was put in the lime light and after months paid me back. Hopefully this is a wake up call to everyone that not everyone on the Hub IS HONEST OR TRUSTWORTHY AND IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE PERSON, than transact as if he is from Gumtree.

Everything I've read here is unsubstantiated. Her word vs his. Because he sold them on, without checking, and timeously at that, there are too many variables. Perhaps the 4th buyer crashed on them, had them rebuilt, went back to the 3rd buyer to try and salvage some of his money? Who knows? And that's the point. She mentioned the wheels were second hand when she had them. Regardless of the OP's intentions for their use/resale, he should have prtected his investment by scrutinising the purchase, or, as I mentioned way back, been more careful in the first place.
Delgado Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 There's not much you can do about the crack I don't think. The seller could very easily have claimed the crack occurred while they were in your possession, and you couldn't prove otherwise. As for the the wrong type wheels, if she advertised the wheels as being a specific type and on receipt they were of a different type, then you should've asked for your money back right away. The real problem lies in the fact that you didn't immediately ask for your money back, she could argue that by not immediately contacting her and asking for your money back, you implicitly accepted what was given - going to be really hard for you to prove otherwise, especially if you sold them on to someone else. I really hope you come right, speak to your legal advisor and report back, would be interesting to see how this goes. Personally I think the seller should just give you at least part of your money back.Prescription in law allows for 3 years to institute proceedings.
