nazzurro19 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 yeah maybe for sending a small part, but not a whole bike, the brakes suck worse then V's but apparently it has all been freshly bled and all set up yet i use them and they slip like crazy cant even backhop due to the brake slipping so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 If you dealt with him through eBay then you can't leave him feedback on here, same as if i was to deal with you on here and you ripped me off, i wouldn't leave you negative feedback on eBay.to be honest if his feedback on here is similar to that of his eBay account then you should really have stayed away, he a bad buyer/seller.

Muel Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm pretty sure you can leave feedback on here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 this is why new members aren't allowed to trade. for all we know you could be lying and saying it was all damaged etc when it was sent fine....but if it was sold on ebay, go slap him silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 this is why new members aren't allowed to trade. for all we know you could be lying and saying it was all damaged etc when it was sent fine....He's probably not.If he had a topic up here you shouldn't have any problem leaving him feedback but i'm petty sure you have to be a full member. I'd leave feedback on your behalf if it wasn't against the rules.All i can suggest is getting in touch with him and try get some money back, but as a new member you're in a weak position i'm afraid.

Adam-Griffin Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 But it wasn't a trade done via TF, it just happens their both members.I did a deal of TF and Pm'd Tomturd to ask if i could leave feedback and he said you can only leave feedback if it was done on tf.I might even have the PM still, ill see if i can dig it out. But Sort it out on eBay, not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke Bowel Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hello,Sorry I haven't been online, I need to catch up on many pm's etc.I have recently damaged my arm, it looks like it's worse than the doctor first thought, He has put me off work till christmas.That's by the by, let's solve the problem in hand..Due to injury I admitidly was slow sending this bike, although I for a fact both brakes worked and it left me in very good condition,Not long before I sent this bike obm had ridden it and had a little service on it for me, so i'm sure he would tell you this bike was in the condition it was sold as described.The brake was blead, again, ask obm, he would tell you it was cause I asked him for assistance doing it.Over msn, you have accused me of the front brake not working, the rear brake not working, the bike being covered in scratches.This certainly isn't true.Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 If it was 100% done off ebay, then i'd agree.But if, for example an ebay topic was put up here on TF, i think feedback should be left on both ebay and tf.My basic rule of thumb is if there's a topic to link the feedback too, it's fine.

nazzurro19 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) if the rear brake is as brilliant as you say then why didnt it work straight out of the box? you left the hs33 clamped in so its not like its been moved so how come it aint working, ive even posted a topic on here about grinds and them blue pads and somebody has also wrote yeah its Sheite needs a better grind so how come it works perfect for you and not for me considering i havnt tampered with it ?

JT! Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Hello...It seems to me that the bike got damaged due to poor packing.How did you pack it? How did you protect it? Which parts of the bike weren't attached and how did you secure them?if the rear brake is as brilliant as you say then why didnt it work straight out of the box? you left the hs33 clamped in so its not like its been moved so how come it aint working, ive even posted a topic on here about grinds and them blue pads and somebody has also wrote yeah its Sheite needs a better grind so how come it works perfect for you and not for me considering i havnt tampered with it ?A brilliant working brake is a matter of opinion. Also, if the rear wheel was removed, it will need time to bed in again. So long as the brake works (mechanically) you can't really have a go at him for that one. Edited October 6, 2008 by JT!

Which parts of the bike weren't attached and how did you secure them?he didn't pack it there wasn't any newspaper shredding or bubble wrap it came as the frame with the brakes clamped on the rear, the stem and handle the bar were together and also the cranks but but they wernt secured down so have been rubbing and scratching up and down along transit hense the hundreds of rubs and scratches now also the hose clips bolts nuts and pedals came in a semi packaged envelope like what you put a dvd in, this is what im saying he didn't take care or time to package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i send bikes i cable tie the crap out of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazzurro19 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 you know what else was crap, the amount of gaffa tape to seal the box it was so flimsy it probs would have been cheaper to just take the handle bars and send the bike as a flatpack styleeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazzurro19 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) yeah get some soon matey, and you can compare to his pics, also the cranks rub on the rear slave cylinder so i cant pedal all the way round and also a tooth off the sprocket is snapped, theres odd bits he forgot to mention fair enough the snapped tooth isnt a thing you look for when describing selling a bike.

Rich Pearson Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 If this deal had nothing to do with TF, then TF has nothing to do with resolving the situation. Not being harsh, there's just sweet sod-all we can do if it was an eBay buy.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
