I don't think I'd purchase through their website given that most of that stuff is also listed on eBay and any purchase via eBay is technically protected by their guarantee.
Funny thing is though, I was looking through their site after my eBay purchase and one of those popups about someone else's recent purchase came up. It was mine.
So far it seems that this mob have merely created the postage label. The actual purchase has still not left the warehouse...

I always thought those "someone just bought..." popups were fake

not a big bargain (or maybe not at all ) but.. Treks doing 20% off Shimano chains and cassettes.. have to sign up to get coupon tho.. makes it slightly cheaper than Pushys
Trek before discount: XT 12sp CN-M8100 = $59, after = $47, Pushys - $54
Trek before discount: SLX 12sp M7100 cassette 10-51 = $140, after = $112, Pushys = $119

Not new 650c is an obscure old roadie standard, that was tres cool in the 80s for triathlon bikes or vertically challenged riders. And was probably resurrected from something older than that.

Yes there is also 650a, difference is rim OD's a=590mm b=584mn c=571mm.
The reason I'm building a new roadie for the Halliion is the old Alchemy XS roadie with 650c looks like he is riding a clown bike
Sheldon Brown is the best place to look at all of the various sizes.
Tyre Sizing Systems
Several different systems of size markings for bicycle tires are in existence. The modern ISO system is not as familiar as it should be, this article explains it.

I'm not in Brissie but have enough 10sp or lesser speed bikes in my family to take one for the team and buy some and happy to offload to any WA burners that may need some, calling @ashes_mtb @Rorschach? Must also check the return policy on the 10sp chain I bought the other week...

You can tell them Consumer affairs will be in contact if the other 24 chains are not posted to you.There isn't even a box
I've asked them to send the remaining 24.
That bundle of 25 10spd KMC chains is still 'in stock' on their website.

That is actually a lot of small chains. Theu are just stuck together in one piece for ease of shipping.

That's what I'm worried about. Mind you, my order only left Melbourne this morning!!! Order on the 8th Dec. Shipping label created 11th Dec. Physically entered the Oz Post on the 14th Dec. Started moving in the early hours of this morning...

Bugger, looks like it was too good to be true.
They won't have 25 chains in stock. I think the best you're going to get is a refund.

I had this happen with a box of half round finishing files, I go through a lot these at work and the box of 12 was a bit more than the cost of 2 locally.
Turns out I just bought one very expensive file from the UK. They refunded due to their shitty listing and told me to keep the one they sent out...
Winning.

Indeed
I've suggested they notify any other buyers of the item.
