Rant/ I still have no wheels, dropped them off at my lbs last monday to have new rims put on, which, i paid for 2 weeks previously, so I would have expected them to be in by then. Was told could pick wheels up at weekend, which to swap hubs onto 2 new rims seemed a while but oh well, went with it as I was busy. Rang up this morning to pick them up tonight, "er, your rims aren't in yet"they'll be ready for weekend. Now considering go to france next Sunday, Im begining to get a bit worried [xx(] /Rant over.

They know I am is the problem, it's them I'm going to france with, which is why I can't understand why they are taking so long to do it =S

Tell them if the wheels aren't ready you'll be nicking wheels off the nicest bike in the shop to use. follow it up with "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!"

That'll learn 'em

I had this before with another LBS. took them an eon to build my wheels. To find that they had sold them to someone else (after I paid for it) as they guy apparently needed them for france.

They were Trailpimp (24inch) on ProII's [:(]
Got them in the end, though. However some Chav now uses the bike [:(] somewhere

That would be a good idea, however they only have xc bikes in stock [V] The ballache is I got a few other bits such as rear mech, tyres etc that all need the wheels so as I can set gears up/put tyres on etc, the way it's going I'm not going to be able to set anything up, let alone ride before I go at this rate. Im in overdraft now due to buying those.

Steal several wheels then [:D] This way, when one wheel brakes, you have a replacement...

Get your bits from the shop. Cancell the order stating they have not fulfilled their end of the contract as a reason. Visit merlin. Use credit card. Recieve box. Post pics on here to prove said box is real. Fit wheels. Go to France.
