    I can't help with your question sorry Oli, but who did you buy from / which did you go for. I'm on the hunt for a set myself.

    Hi, I bought some 50mm clinchers about a month ago, they only sat in Coventry for about 24-36 hours. They then went to the parcelforce depot near M6 Jn3 where I picked them up from. Total turnaround was just over a week.

    No customs charges with the wheels or my other order of frame, forks, bars etc.
