kensurf, why not?
i am not in a rush right now, this is when PBK is good. usually things come in a pretty timely manner, just not instantly.
i ordered brake pads and a tire... thinking about ordering a 700x25 Gatorskin for training at 33 bucks .

the north of england and scotland were hit by the worst snowfall in decades. roads were a mess. most likely the culprit.
Yeah, they emailed me back and said "it may be stuck in customs".. I get to pester them some on Monday or Tuesday!
It's all good, I've ordered enough stuff from them over the years. I was just venting. :)

I'm waiting on a couple of items from them too. It's coming up on two weeks. Shipping's free though so I guess I can't complain.

I'm thinking about ordering a bunch of tires/cassette/chain from them.
I know it's been discussed to hell, but is there any best bang for the buck tires on PBK right now that anyone knows of? Otherwise Ima go with GP4000

I used to get Rubino Pro Slicks but it looks like they've gone up a bit.

i got 5000 miles out of one gatorskin and possibly a lot more out of the other. They don't come off until racing season

Be careful with the credit cards on PBK everyone, I recently ordered from there and shortly thereafter had small charges made to my card.

I usually load up on pro3's when they have the "two pack" blow-outs. Couple it with a 10% discount and free shipping, and I've been paying around $27 a pop. That's actually what I'm waiting on...

Happened to me 2x. Ordering from PBK falls in the life's too short category (unless you like sharing your personal info with criminals).

Darn. I just bought some tires and paid by credit card. I'll keep a lookout for problems.

that is probably what your CC charges for dealing with a foreign transaction... not all CC's do it.

From what I read, there are delays due to increased security measures for inbound intl packages and severe weather at Dec. I hope its gonna be better now.
This thread appears to be killing Botto.
SO, I usually wait until the GP4ks go on sale and buy 6. Lasts me more than a year.

killing me? no.
that said, to see such a ****ing idiotic thread here - where the average IQ is well above the 41 norm, apparently you excluded - it does grate.

Seriously, reality was suspended when I came into this thread. I thought I was in the 41 until I saw botto's most recent post. That being said, I tend to like discounts and deals.

racers go through more parts than recereational riders. so we need good deals.

Let's keep it up then.
Last I checked, Ribble had better prices on tires. Even after you consider 10% off PBK and free shipping. Though, the tires I wanted were out of stock so I had to go with PBK anyway.
