deep v scam?
 

i just recieved my new set of "velocity" deep v wheels.
the thing is one of the wheels has no stickers on it and looks to be a slightly different color
i think they might have sent me one of thos DP 18 turds:mad:

it has begun

Did you specifically buy Velocity Deep V wheels, or just a set of wheels sold as "Deep V's"?

Where did you buy them from? It might be a legitimate mix-up.

Those velocity stickers don't just fall off on their own... I would suspect that something is up

Mis matching colors are the new black, consider it an upgrade.

maybe you mis-heard "deep v" for "DP."

sold as velocity deep v
and i was about as specific as possible
im not gonna say what shop it is until this is straightened out

I'm afraid that's very reasonable off you. Not the way things are done here.

*sharpening a pitchfork*

hahaha.

dont the dp18s have like a lip near the brake surface or something? is it there?

you ever heard of charles whitman? yeah he snapped for the same reason.

dp18s have a raised surface where the machined brake track would be. velocitys don't.

ya it has the lip
i talked to the guy and he gave me some b.s. story about how he only had one velocity wheel left in blue so he "sent it to another shop to add another wheel to the package."
good story but i dont buy it

so im getting sent another velocity wheel

geez.

Are they letting you keep the Weinmann? Please tell me it's a rear.

that is crap service. really poor....

yeah thats pretty awful... i would stay away from that store for good.

which one was it? is now the time to say?


















yeah, it is.

belles bike shop in philly

bike forums, mobilize!

mmmmm hmmmm, ya had to deal with Steve eh?

lol. that made me laugh harder than anything today :D

and there's no excuse, no matter how good the story, for something like that to happen... just not good at all :mad: a big thumbsdown to that noise

A complete punk move. I'll never shop with those guys now, and I spend a lot of money on bike **** online. Their loss.

Fascinating. One of my first posts on this site was in a thread about bell's bikes, asking about whether it was a good shop. I made a post about how my friend had a bike built up there and the rear wheel was installed incorrectly. As in, wheel would have fallen off and friend would have been seriously hurt if not picked up by another shop (via). I removed said post at the behest of my friend who insisted that it was a one time mistake.

Whaddya know.
