had the same problem with my grips and what have ya.
takes the piss when u need something and it takes weeks for them to get it in stock and then, like the other day it took 4 working days for me to recieve it. just annoying from what used to be a reliable company.
Maybe they are having to cut back having practically given stuff away for so long? Plus, they have to get the goods from somewhere, so maybe it's just them waiting to receive stuff from suppliers?
Got to admit, I have seen this too. While trying to get a 'quote' for a front wheel, i couldnt make what i wanted as half of the stuff was out of stock!
They just hashed up my order big style, meaning the one part i really needed and ordered on Weds won't be here til Tuesday. No DH on bank hol weekend. Damn.
ha, i ordered a hayes stroker trail earlier today, and to my surprise it was also posted today i'm happy, except i had to order a V6 with a 7" mount as that was the only mount instock and i have a 6" mount anyway.
funny thing was they said they have to build the kit befor ethey post. does that mean bleed the brake or what?

Best Quote (from pinkbike): I heard that Hill pee's, masterbates, and defecates prior to each race to keep the weight down!
its that time of season where its shifting from 2008 to 2009 and lots of suppliers are out of 2008 stock (especially Madison with Shimano) and so retailers are having major problems meeting orders
I had a wheel built by CRC some years back and it was fine
however, i would always get wheels built more locally and enjoy the important benefit of a "free re-true" that most good wheel builders offer, taken after a couple of hard rides or a month of lighter riding, to re-tension and re-true the wheels after they have settled down...which makes for a longer life
bit hard to send your wheels back to Ireland for a "free" re-true
