Still waiting on the stuff they shipped out on November 16th. They won't work with me until 28 business days have passed.

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.

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.
