What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

[pink poodle]

i clean my bike by riding in the creek ......

Fool! I only ever use the high pressure hose to clean mine. It punches all the mud filth and grease off.



I have been on twe and spank hubs exclusively for the last couple of months. These are hubs are pretty loud by most pedestrians standards. Other than those my other hubs (da bomb and st Swiss) aren't very loud at all. The new bike has a hope hub, a brand I haven't owned for a long time. I had forgotten just how loud they are, what a pleasure to ride around town!

You mean like this one?

 

[creaky]

thanks StarTrack

Pushys order yesterday 10:30am, standard (free) postage .... Delivered by star track today 10:45am ... I don't see what the problem is?

NOTE: I do live about 20km from their warehouse in a (temporarily) covid-free eden, which no doubt helps.

Thats the ultimate take down, I apologise to the whole community

I'll have you know I was ticked off by security for all the tyre marks on the ramp into the carpark at work. There was something about that concrete and Michelin commuter tyres I had on the hardtail in those days that such a satisfying screeching noise when fishtailing down the ramp...

Screenshot from today.
I lodged an enquiry on September 27th, they said "we'll monitor it and investigate after October 8th". That date rolled around and...nothing.
I contacted the seller who lodged a missing parcel enquiry too, and was told to allow 10 working days for the investigation.
Aus Post then sent me an email saying they won't be contacting me again about this and that I must direct my correspondence to the seller. Ok, 10 working days have definitely passed and I've emailed the seller to let them know the parcel still hasn't arrived. Aannnd...nothing.
I think I've been pretty patient with this, I'm well over it now. It's a fucking shit show.

A) That sucks and the tracking bullshit going on is ridiculous.
B) If you open the case as the receiver then will talk to you until the seller opens a case - then they will no longer respond to you at all - I always open the case myself as receiver and just make seller aware and keep them in the loop - if it gets to refund stage I then get the seller to open a case so he can claim insurance or freight refund etc.

When they tell you that, usually the parcel has been mailed back to the seller for one reason or another.

Interesting, the seller told me they would keep me updated but I haven't heard from them since they lodged an enquiry too.

I haven't had to lodge many enquiries and this is the first time I've had the seller involved in doing one too. Usually the parcel turns up soon after lodging an enquiry.

Jeez @Labcanary - that sucks. Hope they find it for you even if it is "a little" late.

Mine's a new frame, so hopefully they don't try to send it back to China...

They should start doing vlogs and how to videos to get free views - I can only imagine the number of people that have no idea what to do when the package doesn’t arrive.

China had gone bankrupt and has no workers and or materials left - good luck on that frame
