Your more than welcome, thanks for the shout.

I'm with you, if I miss the last post day I get the money from a buyer I feel bad and apologies, and pay for the fastest delivery service I can.

Two weeks with no communication is a long time. It's almost made worse by the seller getting in touch so fast after the PayPal dispute was raised.

Lots of drivers peering through letter boxes of cleared window screen this morning, pretending like their tank commanders. They were all heading for the M27, the sooner they get there and start causing there carnage the better.

Yeah that's a long time to not be in touch, Paypal dispute for sure.

No, he got out of a car, so it can't be assault. It'll be a charge of careless hand waving, or something

I've never like the idea of bells on bikes in general, too easy for them to be construed as 'get out of my way'

Don't pedestrians always have right of way, at least that's the way I see it anyway.

Echoes of something I have read recently, I just can't put my finger on what...>

Yes, very much this... but for some reason I found this more distasteful, perhaps that's my anti motorist bias showing through.

Yes, generally I agree, this seamed like a 'special' case in view of the comments appearing to be from the driver / driver's daughter.

Default setting on the roads, Never, Ever admit your at fault for anything ever.

I got told to fuck off today by a motorist after he'd look right at me and pulled out of a side road anyway. I braked hard and came to a stop and made a bit of a 'face' (not directed at the driver, just in general, no eye contact)

Down comes the driver's window, and I'm told to fuck off.

Just to share my simmering rage, has anybody read this.

(Perhaps this should have been in the don't read the comments thread)

Anyway the choice cut from the drivers comments, defending himself on the article, is im not trying to say im a victim and never will, but

Oh and apparently he got out of his derisory community service because his eyesight is so bad, but not so bad to stop him from having a driving license.

and it seam's 'Jaywalking' is a thing now in the minds of the self entitled motorist of this country too.

I have a Mission Workshop Vandal if anybody is interested. It's got your normal scraps and marks, its only been used a few times on the bike.

One bad thing, it has one bust/Jammed zip. It's one of the small pockets on the back, as per the picture. Hopefully I've reflected that in the price. £90.00 posted in the uk ?

!!SOLD!!

That's ACE

I've got a secondhand Phil Wood rear hub and the hub bolts have been pretty mashed by the previous owner.

I've checked the phil wood site but couldn't find any details as to the bolts vital statistics (size, thread pitch, all that stuff)

BLB don't currently have any in stock either. Does anybody have the details of these bolt or know if I could get away with using something non PW specific or would that be asking for trouble ?

Many Thanks.

I assume, they prosecute the offence, jumping red light / cyclist without due care and attention, rather than the outcome of that office, pedestrian in a coma.

It would be great if all drivers guilty of driving without due care and attention end up in prison (most don't).

When I was younger, driving a cab gave me the luxury of security for myself and my family, of never having to be fearful that I could be laid off at any old time, or have my pay cut.

Boohoo, welcome to the real world.

Puncture here too, glass well in bedded in the tire, even with a pin it was a bitch to get out. Followed by a CO2 / conti removable core issue which resulted in a half inflated tire and a partly frozen figure.

You do realise that to your average van driver the a front of a cyclist overtaking them is a kind to you screaming through his window "you have a small cock"

A Norfolk policeman, whose patrol car was rammed, told the court: "I thought I was going to die. I was petrified.

Only 14 month, 2 year driving ban!

They come up small, I'm 5'11 and was riding large with a 130mm stem.

You'll need a very long seat post to make it fit IMO. That being said I always look at the top tube length rather than the seat tube when buying a frame.

I've near sold a wheel, seams like way too much hassle to me. But I've bought a few, I've paid £5.00 for postage from Poland for one wheel and £10.00 for a pair of wheels from London to the south coast.

If someone asked me for £25 to post a wheel, I'd find another wheel.

Hmm, it looks like their only here to sell stuff which is never a good sign, IMO.

Have you messaged them directly ?

Yeah, even a year on, re reading the comments about the txting driver in Kent still massively boils my piss

Once you've got the money in your account the situation will be fixed.

It's only the 4th of the month now !

No Paypal transaction here I'm afraid.

(head in hands) oh dear...

It might be a ball ache but it better than relying on a 'stranger' to do the decent thing IMO.

@Richard1982 Paypal, always paypal Please.

I forget where this all begin, but reading between the lines I'm guessing James has told you he's not going to give you your money back.

You need to dispute this with paypal asap. The wheel arrived in a condition that was less than you were expecting, the issue with you trying to fix it has muddied the waters but let paypal make their decision.

I honestly feel for you, and given what you've said I know you wish it would all just go away, but you can't just let him walk off with your money.

I still can't believe he charged £25.00 to post a wheel ...
