Central Wheels Nipples too big!

<< < (3/4) > >>

Oddjob:
They sit on the high ground because it’s above the water with all the crap in it they put there.

Sad indeed guys! Sent an email yesterday morning first thing and never heard anything. Dave I was going to make contact with Phillpots as I have forks to refurb but now I’m not sure. Anywhere else that would return a similar standard of service or should I go there? Possibly consider replacing?

Laverda Dave:
I called Brooks Suspension last week Johnny to enquire about them rebuilding the rear shock of the NC30 (apparentley its not worth doing they said, I'd be wasting my money refurbing a shock that wasn't very good when it was new! They are trying to steer me in the Nitron £700+ route, err.....no!). I asked about replating the front stanctions and they quoted £200 but it would be an 8 week turnaround. They don't do them there, they are sent out although they didn't say to who (Dynasurf???).
I stuck with Philpots in the end as their work is really good quality (I've used them five times before) and I was able to drop them off myself. Price is £330 for both and includes posting back to me when completed. Turnaround time is 4 weeks but likely much sooner.

Oddjob:
Dynasurf told me they’d stopped doing bike forks. Said it was too much trouble and they had enough work already so wouldn’t miss them.

Johnny4428:
Just an update on CWs, ended up sending the spokes back to them as they couldn’t supply spoke nipples small enough to fit the holes in my new rims, despite the fact that they are the same size holes as in the old original rims. Still awaiting return of butted spokes with appropriate nipples. And as yet still no acknowledgement for making a mistake. I would at the very least be slightly appologetic.😡
