Trialsshop.... The Muppets!


Davey

Recommended Posts

Ok, so it's taken over a week but my new cranks have finally arrived from Trialsshop.co.uk for my recently aquired T-Pro 2003!

But, the muppets have sent me 2 drive side cranks, both have bashguard splines and freewheel thread (is it that hard to get right, seriously)!

So anyway, I don't think this will make any difference but a friend seems to think it will/the might not fit! Is he going mad, because I figure if it fits on the drive side it'll fit on the non-drive side...... who's right?

The pedal threads will be the wrong way round!!!

The pedal threads on the non drive are different, you either need 2 driveside pedals, or send back the cranks. (Y)

If he does that won't the left hand side pedal keep coming loose and he can't use a proper LHS pedal as that will cross thread.

You need to send them back

I am now going to cry in the corner. They took over a week to arrive, and when I got my package I got all excited that I could finally get out on my 20incher.... and now it's probably gonna take another week AT LEAST to sort out!!

I wnet to them because they had what I wanted cheaper than anyone else, and as it's just a mess about bike I don't wanna spend top dollar on it... but lesson learned, WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN!!!

It was always nice at the Bike Show seeing either angry people going to TrialsShop/Mark Anthonys or seeing angry people coming away...

Best invite him to the next Nass Bike 07 event thingy then.

And for future reference, cheaper isn't always better, although i think you've worked that out.

Yes and no, it should in theory, but in practice I know of at least one set of cranks which are being run the wrong way for opposite drive, and have been for years, and are fine don't come loose or anything. (Y)

Mine came out when I had to run 2 drive-side cranks :( Either way, you asked for a correct pair of cranks, and they f**ked up. Just get it sorted out with them :) Not least 'cos that way, if you come to sell those cranks you'll be able to get a decent price for them in future, as opposed to going "2 right-side cranks for sale" or whatever.

Yeah, that and the fact I have once regular set of pedals so I'd have to buy another set to get another drive side one!!!!

Calling Mark Anthony in 5 mins (wasn't he Ceasers right hand man who poked cleopatra)?

Spelt differently but yeah - thats the bugger. Treacherous b*****d too I think (might be getting confused, it was a very, very long book)

On a completey unrelated note. post pictures of that girl somewhere, i think she's pretty and work is depressing me today

Steady, that's my girl you're talking about there. Yes she's lovely, no you can't have pics (cheeky bugger)!

Ok, I've called them and they asked if I was sure it wasn't right, hahaha!

Anyway, they would replace it if I posted the set back first but that'd take forever so I have had to buy a left hand one off them to get them to post it out priority post today, and they will credit me back when they receive the incorrect right hand one back in the post (which I have sent via special delivery just now)!

Hopefully they will credit me postage too!

Case closed!

Cheers folks!

Just for you poopipe, I've changed the pic for a bit of variety for you :P

I think we've all learnt a very, very valuable lesson from this thread. Mark Anthony/TrialsShop are shit... To be honest, i would have rather bought some cranks for a bit more money from a more reliable shop. You'll just have to think about that next time, though... (Y)

Cheers,

Joe.

I would have sent both back and asked for a full refund plus the postage it costed you to to send them back.

I think we should all send trials-shop a piece of out shit. Then he'd get a good 50 pieces of poo though his letter box.

Anyone game?
