I've seen quite a few posts 'blaming Wiggle' but can't find where it all started from.

Can someone fill me in please?

    Ta.

    I don't see myself reading all 15 pages of the BE WARNED !!!! thread, but it looks like Speed King made a bit of a fool of himself.

    I think that was the least of his problems.

    He has only himself to blame

    I never did read all of that thread before - the post that was removed stated that Wiggle proved the chain and cassette were brand new and SHOULD look like that?

    Also, his 'expert' mechanic broke the seat post and the frame should have the ghost writing on it?

    Oooooooo did he make a public arse of himself.....

    Wiggle are brilliant. Always great service, great prices and they dealt with one minor issue I had very well indeed. And their delivery time was much better than Chain Reaction.

    They keep taking money off me and delivering goods...

    Their customer service is fabulous, so I keep having to go back and buy more stuff....

    Good to know someone else is receiving Haribo sweets with their packages!! I thought someone lost their sweets the first time I received a package and then it happened again. Thought I maybe had an admirer lol :)

    Due to reading all 15 pages of that thread and laughing loads, my productivity has dramatically diminished and my colleagues think I'm mad.

    I shall be complaining to Wiggle.
