In other words: we haven't got any lockrings cheap enough to go with these wheelsets at this price. hang on I think I found some nice tinfoil ones for about 10¢ each, but it'll take a few days to get em.

On the one hand I can see where if it said something was included, I would feel cheated if it didn't come. On the other hand, it only said a lockring was included it didn't say a GOOD lockring was included, and most folks who bought those wheels did so because tey were so cheap. Even without a lockring they are still way cheap, so odds are you would have ordered them anyway. So you know, OK, piss and moan about the lack of a lockring, but you KNOW that none of you would send the wheels back over the lockring.

I will see that this part is ordered on Monday, December 12 and we will ship it to you as soon as it arrives."

i'm cool with that.

Hells yes!

Did you ever get your lockring?

I just got the wheels this morning. I didn't have time for a close inspection, but they looked like they were packed pretty well and true enough. No lockring, natch. I'm going to e-mail them now about that (and also complain about their crappy $6 blinkie).

no, i didn't get the lockring yet, but i took one off my other wheelset to get that set rolling. mine were true out of the box and i have no complaints. . . they are gonna owe lockrings to a LOT of customers- they sold out of those wheelsets shortly thereafter, i'm glad i jumped on that sweet deal!

true that, i wouldn't care if it was a crappo lockring, and i wouldn't send the wheels back (i like em), but after i placed the order, the invoice said "1 DuraAce Lockring." i figured, why not send an email, its worth a shot for a free $10 lockring. . . ;)

I got my lockring. The overnighted it to me. The package was incredibly wasteful. They put a tiny little lockring in this 6 in. by 6 in. box.
