  Hmm maybe I should push this a bit then. Annoyingly it's Ali who seem to have made the judgment. Not sure if it's different being in NZ

  Cheers, you've given me faith to try rather than buy a new tyre straight off!

  Bought a chainring for my Sram Apex 1 cranks that seemingly very few people make chainring for, as I needed a 38t.
  Chainring arrived with some chainring bolts as well, thought that was odd. But then realised the holes weren't drilled the correct diameter, so original chainring bolts didn't fit through, but the 4 bolts they had provided were obviously too small a diameter to match the receiving bolts. All round shambles and impossible to get a refund despite providing evidence etc.
  Was a Pass Quest Apex chainring in case anyone searches for recommendations.

  Edit to add: super annoyed as well because couple of days later the rep for absolute black came into our store and was able to tell me that they were getting stock in 2 weeks, and I managed to order one at essentially the same price as the aliexpress special

  Just had my invoice from January through. Sold something for a few hundred quid but ended up doing a partial refund because the buyer grumbled. My ebay fees have been charged on the full amount, with no allowance for the refund. Is this normal?

  Had something similar with my S20 FE, reset network settings seemed to help if i recall correctly.
