AdamR28 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Dave, have a look at the links I posted to the Sale of Goods Act, and note what was listed on the product description at the time of purchase: "Please note that the machining quality of the aluminium parts on these hubs is not quite as high as we would like, so the price (despite the carbon centre) reflects this." If you aren't happy with the hub, take it up with Cyclemart. I really don't care if you work to 2.5um all day long, it's a £45 carbon fibre and aluminium hub that's made in the far east, which the product description stated wasn't high quality, not tooling for manufacturing car parts. To answer your repeated question: I don't see why it's bad that, when we deem something to be outside of warranty, we'll liaise with the manufacturer to see if they'll help instead? If you choose not to take that help, that's your decision. In case you can't understand that, I will try explaining in a different way. It means that we have already taken responsibility for deciding on the warranty claim, but said no. Then, we tried to help you by seeing if the manufacturer would help out, and ended up offering a stronger, more suitable part for your needs instead, free of charge. At no point did we suggest you speak with Reset - I did warn them that you would probably sound off though, I was right - so I don't know where you have got that idea from. I don't see the above scenario is the same as 'lying about my responsibility for warranty'. If you do, then that's fine, we can agree to disagree. Seems that there are other people who have had leaky Hope water bottles. Thank you for the feedback, and those who have suggested alternative products. Before Sam bought his, we had only had one rating and that was 5 out of 5. Now we know the product isn't as good as we'd hoped, we will look to find an alternative. Turns out Stan's is actually over 2 years old. By the way, a seller does not have to enter into contract with the buyer if they do not wish to do so - we shall be exercising that right in future for certain people! I'm going to go and ride my bike, complete with all it's tolerancing issues, and hopefully have fun doing it 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go and ride my bike, complete with all it's tolerancing issues, and hopefully have fun doing it Lol well I'm happy you finally admitted that the hubs wank, like I said before I don't have a contract with yourselfs, just pointing out that you don't really have a clue when it comes to engineering, I hope that didn't upset you to much. I'm also glad that you have started to realise that you are responsible for warrantys, I bet you saved your self a fair about of £££ with that line! Oh no your not going to sell me any thing, plenty more shops... The sooner people on here get that the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
