It is disappointing that after reporting the item as a fake, EBay didn’t contact me or take any action whatsoever…left the forum March 20230

Some people just don't know because of many reasons.
You could say that people can only follow the advice given to them by those purporting to be in the know: after all, Yossie has just reminded me about some bloke who on here used to churn out Achetypes and H Plus Sons to all and sundry marketed as the panacea to all evils and the only wheelset you'll ever need and and and....
He can't remember who it was though but he sincerely hopes the purchasers weren't gullible.....The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

And not a single one ever complained or was unhappy about the product, I still get emails from folks asking me if I can build them another pair... so much so that even the said churner is still using said wheels and questions whether an 80mm rim upgrade is actually worth bothering...MattFalle said:

And somay well the purhaser of those "FFWDs"
Who knows. Not you or I, that is for sure.
Perhaps they knew exactly what they are buying. Perhaps they only want them for communting. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps......
But gullible? Big jump.....The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Someone with 254 previous transactions on Ebay... quite gullible yes, I normally do my research before buying something on Ebay and if it doesn't look right, I steer clear... all those allegedly "resprayed" Cannondale Supersix frames and such... you have to be a bit savvy... I suppose.MattFalle said:And somay well the purhaser of those "FFWDs"

These were clearly fake, even the untrained eye could see they are not the genuine thing...

Bit of velcro stitched across the top so you can open velcro, zip up, close velcro zip doesn't come down?.

Yeah, I'd rather do some simpler though, maybe I can add an elastic band or I can fold the very top insideMattFalle said:Bit of velcro stitched across the top so you can open velcro, zip up, close velcro zip doesn't come down?
I have asked Rule 28 if there is a trick, let's see what they sayleft the forum March 20230 -
Tbh, hair bobble over the top of the 'shoe under the zip each time you put them on.
Takes 2 seconds, no one will notice, no stitiching or owt required.
Ain't stupid if it works..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

They replied very quickly saying that if the zip is pointing down it cannot come loose, which is true as I have just tried... must have been user error.MattFalle said:Tbh, hair bobble over the top of the 'shoe under the zip each time you put them on.

Sounds like the zips on my Sorpasso bibtights; they do the same only the other way up.1
