They said the standard international shipping service has been suspended over there so only option is DHL courier. Same with some MTX brake pads I wanted.
Tiny little package was going to be $45 US too. Don’t think they have a lot of options unfortunately.

@Jpez I ordered these just now, shipping was $28au via tracked DHL Express, still expensive for a flat envelope but better than $45.

Oh interesting. She did say that the exact shipping cost would adjust at checkout but that’s what she thought it would cost. If it spits out $45 for the shipping cost I’ll just mention your $28. I get it. They are running a business but if my product had completely failed like that I would just send it out for free.
I bought a v1 Jank components in line pump holder. It broke after a bit so I messaged the dude- a one man operation and he not only sent me out a new v2 one for nothing but gave me a second as well.
Same with PNW. They paid for the warranty shipping as it took a while to come back in stock. And a free tshirt and grips for the wait.
That’s the sort of service I don’t forget in hurry.

My chain has found the gap between the rubber on the chainstay and the frame wrap. Is this the sort of tape reccomended to cover and stop the chain chipping the paint:

I'd give you a refund of the sticker price and maybe a 5% discount. That way I'm not out the shipping with the old or the new.

Some sellers think this is acceptable. If you buy something from someone, it was because you wanted the product they advertised and choose to go with them rather than someone else. Send the fucking product as advertised and paid for ! Pronto too.

...and "I" did. Unfortunately it has failed and I am genuinely sorry about that, it is quite unexpected. Here is your money back. If you wish to shop with us again, here is a 5% discount as our way of saying thanks for trusting us again...

One of the many things I like about snow retailers in the USA is how quickly they respond to warrant claims. Item X broke and is under warranty, here's some photos. Yeah that sucks and shouldn't have happened. So you want a replacement or refund? Don't worry about sending it back, postage is killer. Boom refund in bank while you blink or replacement item dispatched that day. No fucking around, especially handy if the item dies mid season!

Very polite of you Poods and if I received such a nice reply or follow up, I would be in the same train of thought as you.

Sadly most sellers, even reputable ones get defensive to the point of rude when things get lost or arrive in condition that was not expected.

Will Rolf get a state funeral?


What happens to the value of his art? The article also missed that he was the main performer for the opening of the opera house.


Speaking of, quite a while back I went to the opera house with a girlfriend and saw him perform there. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. He sang songs, told stories, painted pictures, interacted and engaged the audience (many of whom were quite young and also quite old) in an amazing way. He was already quite old and had recently recovered from pneumonia but this didn't seem to hold him back. At the end of the performance he offered for anyone that wanted to say hello to meet him at the stage door.

Well everyone wanted to go and say hello! We decided we would let all the oldies and all the little kids go before us, and we would wait patiently until the very end. Again he was very generous with his time and gave each person a very personal experience. There was autographs, photographs, stories, questions about them, and drawings with them. When our turn finally came I decided to play it up a little. So I leapt onto his lap just like many of the smaller kids had! Crickey you're a big boy! Uncle Rolf!!! Uncle Rolf!!! And the 3 of us had a chat and a laugh and some photos, then I asked why he hadn't sung Iko Iko because he does a great version. Well he solved that problem right there! But insisted I (who can not sing for shit) sing along with him. So we did and then it was time to head off.

The girl and I got outside and we having a good chuckle about it all and then she said something like...that was strange. I am pretty sure he licked my ear and whispered something in it. But she wasn't sure what as she was deaf in that ear! We made many a joke about missed opportunities for a celebrity 3 way and are you sure he didn't heal the ear. We had a photo of the 3 (Rolf in the middle) of us printed out and her mother framed it up on the mantle piece. After one of the many times (don't ask) the girl and I broke up the mum cut her out of the photo and moved Rolf and I to a smaller frame! Then of course not too long after the allegations and convictions all started to boil up and the ear licking incident made a lot more sense.

My chain has found the gap between the rubber on the chainstay and the frame wrap. Is this the sort of tape reccomended to cover and stop the chain chipping the paint:

I bought the 3M mastic tape in 25mm and 50mm widths. #2228
I think it was from element14? Exxy for a roll of tape, but buy once cry once.

Its nice and thick (about 1.5mm I think) and rubbery. But sticks well.

The 50mm i used on the downtube and 25mm in the chainstay. Cut custom small pieces to fill the gaps.

I think that Deta tape will be much thinner. Better if you want to wrap a few times. Not as good for single piece sticking.

Yes. I know that gap very well. So do Deviate but doesn’t look like they’ve updated the rubber protector on the new models.

Cheers. Will search for some as would be a single piece across top of the stay.

5 months and no marks and noticed this week a few chips so not sure what’s going but will rubber it up before it gets worse but yeah that rubber piece should be higher than it is.

Give it a an alcohol rub down before you put the sticky stuff on, helps to prepare the surface.
