Don't think it has. OP was still bashing as of yesterday.

----------------------------------------------------------

You can see my previous offer to make deal where everyone is happy. I was / am happy to spend more but was completely ignored.

If you look at the thread, every part of my story matches a verifiable, date stamped event. On the other hand, Brian has made claims but cannot back up a single one.

Are you telling me that he cannot copy and paste one of the many emails he relied to me with? Or a copy of the PM he sent me?

Yes, I did use them, they are still on my bike now because I bought wheels because I needed wheels... Kind of makes sense does it not?

You need to go back to April. 1 ride and immediate email to Brian and then a post in the forum 1 day later.

Kind of hard to refute those facts.

Show me one claim I've made that I have not backed up and then show 1 that Brian has backed up?

Let's make it really simple...

Brian, I hate the front wheel, I am buying a new front wheel, I have a deal with a local guy set but did not consummate the deal yet.

If you're truly interested in righting a wrong, then just put it here for the world to see. But do it quickly because I'm buying the other deal this week.

I'll be happy to hit the delete button on every post I made.

Brian, I made the previous attempts, you even ignored me in your own thread when I posted nicely.

You have my email and cell... Quit expecting me to continue chasing when I've done that already and it did not work.

But fine, we're all wearing big boy pants and I don't care whether we are buddies or not.

It's really simple, plaster your offer here, pull some wheel (or wheels) out of inventory, tell me what to do with the existing front or set and let's end it.

I have a good deal locally on a nice deep carbon front and I'm going to buy it this week unless I cut a deal for a wheel from you.

I thought you were buying wheels this past weekend? Again, your story and words just don't add up. Talk is cheap, so are copy and pasted text from emails. Let's see some email screenshots and call log screenshots from attempted contacts.

I think it's time to move along Gary. You bought wheels you wanted to race, and you did exactly that. Your idle threats and strong arm slander tactic no longer holds any weight here. Maybe try a get rich quick scheme forums or a buyers remorse forum.

Over 120days, you expected special consideration, yet still raced the wheels, and now are crying about it. Grow up, get lost. You didn't get taken, scammed screwed or sold junk. Your little plan for long term rental of race wheels just didnt work out the way you wanted it to.

Ok big mouth...

Time for you to put up or shut up.

$250 (I'm going light because I doubt you can handle more) on the screen shots that show every email verbatim as I posted. Brian has these too so I can't cheat.

$250 on the new wheel. I have text messages with pictures, prices and location that I can supply. And since the guy is local, I can video the purchase tmorrow. Since text messages are easier to fake, no video and I lose.

Want to play?

Oh... Wait, I think I hear whimpering and excuses about to be made.

I'm in on screenshots, I'll warn you though they'll be digitally screened to assure no alterations have been made.
I don't care about the wheel your buying. You said you were buying last week, you didn't. Game over. You said you don't buy second hand and that you buy from a shop, yet this deal isn't. Game over #2. Your words alone are proof that your word means nothing and your story doesn't add up.

I'm not a bigshot, and I'm not trying to come across as one either. I'm not an Internet tough guy, and don't pretend to be. I'm not into people trying to strong arm and slander into getting their way. I'm also not keen on the intent of damaging ones reputation and their livelihood, which is why I've pulled a lot of punches on this subject.

As for how much I can or can't handle, I do fine thank you. I'm rather young, invest, dump into kids college funds, am quite charitable, and have no debt.

Goobdog, what happens when you try to call Brian? Does he just ignore the calls?

Why should Brian do anything for you??? At the end of the day you tried to return the product well after the 30 days. Thread over. Stop slandering him.

I'll take it off your hands for $10 shipped. 22801. Let me know.

WOW. I've been off this site for a few weeks enjoying the amazing Canadian summer riding and spending time with friends and family. Then I come back and log in to this awesome website which I usually enjoy very much, and I read this post. Complete garbage. So much negativity in here. And FWIW I have had awesome correspondence with mybikeshop. Get a life you people.

Were they Oval wheels?

Pretty much what I expected.

Read your post to me and mine to you and tell me who is acting like the big shot. I laugh at your "experts" as I'm at least in the top 10% of the EASIEST a people to find on the internet. Websites, videos, webinars, forums, slandered, praised, etc etc. just use Google next time.

So here is how this works, we each send our money to a neutral 3rd party who holds the funds. Then the rubber hits the road and the winner (me) gets all the cash. Of course, I'll tip the bag man ...you won't need to worry about it as the loser.

We can even use that Andy guy since he's more on your side than mine but I sense that he is a trustworthy person... But of course the person will need to agree.

I must admit that I'm impressed that you didn't go 100% kitty cat although I'll wager another $250 you don't tell your wife what happened when she notices a $250 hole in you checking account.

Let's find that 3rd party bag man and get this party started.

But I have to know 1 thing, you see where I posted on Brian's thread June 28 and expressed my desire to work something out...

But you see that he completely ignored me.

So how do you reconcile this when Brian claims to have contacted me?

How are you so convinced that Brian has been forthright when he's provided nothing tangible to back his claim while I have provided so many items? Just the forum posts in Slowtwitch alone substantiate my story ...even without a single email.

I'm just really curious how you make that leap of faith?

Calls were never answered. Not 1 post sale. In hindsight I guess my email to him warned him of why I was calling.

I figured he was doing this gig as a side deal to a regular job and could not answer calls during the day.

I really do love the looks of the wheels and kept trying to make it work but every time I ride the bike (not often enough), it just shakes the heck out of my front end.

The last straw was when I took the wheel to a local tri-shop to see if they could true the wheel and the shop owner just laughed. Said he never saw anything like it and there's nothing that can be done.

No, but my road bike Oval wheels were the reason I needed new wheels to begin with.

Took the bike in for a winter tune up (I wonder, when you get your bike tuned in the winter, should you expect it to work even though you can't check it until the spring?) and the oval wheel bearings were cooked.

I figured it would be a good excuse to upgrade the race bike so I put the TTR wheels on the road bike and the tri-spokes on the race bike.

And either my road bike is now faster or my tri- bike is slower as my speed gap dropped from 2 mph to 1 mph.

Geez! Why is this shit show even allowed to continue? Lick the damn thread already.

I'll hold the $!

This thread is more interesting than TV.

Don't tell me what to or not to lick!! You're starting to sound like my wife.

Dammit. I should know better than to type on my phone without reading glasses...

I have no problem with it, except i'm not 3rd partying any money to anyone. When I give my word, it means something, so you would not have to worry about getting your $$. slowtwitch regulates itself pretty well, so I dont think there is an issue there. You can always just start another few threads here and a youtube video.

top 10%? Ego much? Google is good, I wanted a little more in depth information. The info comes from solid data experts whom pretty much only do this this type of work. Not your basic background check type stuff. Isolating associated ips and incoming/outgoing email servers to check date and frequency of contact is pretty routine and a walk in the park for them. I'm pretty sure you're not taking the time to use military encryption messenger services, email encryptions or even a TOR client for email.

Brian has a pretty good reputation here, and is an honest guy from what I know. He is always willing to work with someone and help people out if need be from the experiences that I've had and have heard about from others. When someone phrases things like you did and goes out on a blatant attack and is slandering someone for the purpose of getting what they want in addition to hurting their reputation and livelihood, I tend to think that speaks quite a bit about the integrity of the attacker. Those reasons and your story not adding up are the reasons I believe Brian, and also the reason I even responded to this thread originally. Had you phrashed things differently I probably would not have bothered. I may have totally missed your post that he in turn ignored. I've seen at least a response or two from his end on the board, including one back where he had said he had tried to contact you numerous times. On his listing thread it shows he responded to you on the 29th, but I am probably missing something else. I guess I dont see the point or reason for him to take the time to come on here and post responses to you and others, yet ignore any other form of contact.

I dont know how my response was pretty much as you expected. In your last message you said I wouldnt be able to handle it, now I call your bluff and you say "as you expected." You are one perplexing individual, i'm starting to wonder if you're not just a troll out for fun at someone else's expense or trying to draw attention to yourself in some random marketing scheme you've drawn up.

My wife doesnt fret about expenses so no worries there. Way to try to toss in a dig though. I dont think i've come across as a big shot, and i'm certainly not the one trying to act like I'm a bigshot financially either. You brought finances into it, i dont know if it was to bluff your way out of this, spin the subject and detract from everything else, or just trying to attack someone else.

Jeeeezus Christ I can't believe that this is still going on.
It's a single front wheel. Holy shit, this is ridiculous...

You bought a used wheel, it wasn't perfect (though I question the validity of your claims) and now you are whining. You've spent countless hours drafting your responses and defending/attacking your actions and the actions of others.

If a couple hundred bucks on a wheel are killing you then you are definitely in the wrong sport...

Hay Ladies, wanna know the quality of the MBS & Brian
here's a scenario for you:
I bought a bike (with a trade) from Brian, through some ignorance on my part, I had it sent to a USPS PO Box in WA, which accepts FedEx and UPS, BUT with size restrictions, long story short, I didn't glean to the size restrictions, USPS 'bounced' the bike and sent it back to Brian. This incurred an additional $90 frt. to send it back to me.
Though I offered some $$$ here was no quibble, Brian said it was part of doing on-line business and picked up the tab. Class ! ! !

Part of the trade I was to send some additional bike goods, (chains, new shoes, cassettes, etc.), when I returned my trade to him, I included these and some additional products for a future credit.

Brian, I think there is still some 'good will' or $$$ re the 'extra' extra products sent, so Mr. Richards, to put this thread to bed, please take the extra extras and put it towards this jerk's wheel, I think I can say for all of us, we're sick and tired of hearing Ubbo's constant whining, hope there is enough there to cover it, if not then it will take some of the 'sting' out of the transaction

Feel good now Gooddog ? ? ?
I think ya F#$%ed the system, but have a good day and great Karma, Sir.

BTW Brian, the S5 has now been Di2'ed . . . . . the Hed H3's and the S5 are both phenomenal,
much better than a mistress (sorry Ladies . . . an inside joke),
thanks for putting us together
PGS

So why does your success negate the facts in my case?

If you want to defend Brian then fine... but you used your facts to somehow negate my facts in my situation.

I've presented fact after fact, now try to refute a single thing I posted - you can't.

It's not a matter of how much I spend or how much I earn. The point is I purchased a product in good faith and was repeatedly promised that what I was buying was good quality - or as Brian stated, "bomb proof".

As far as being in the "wrong sport"... this is the cheapest sport I've been in since high school.

I used to spend more on tires in a weekend (sometimes in 1 day) when I was racing motorcycles than I spent on this wheel set. A rear shock cost as much as a nice carbon fiber race bike but who really cares?

If I see a $20 bill floating across the parking lot, I'm jumping up from my desk and running after it.

Now let's reverse this, if it's only a "couple hundred bucks" then why is it unreasonable for Brian to take back a defective wheel? If it's only a "couple hundred bucks", why did he ignore me when I called and emailed, etc?

Why is it only a "couple hundred bucks" when it's my money?

And the facts are clear... from the very beginning I offered to buy a different set of wheels. I have never requested a straight up refund without offering to buy a different set of wheels from Brian.

So it's obvious that it has never been about the "couple of hundred" bucks and it's always been about getting a decent set of race wheels for my bike.

It seems day after day Brian sells gear even after your attempted bashing. He still has my full confidence and obviously others. Drop it already. Buy a new set of wheels and move on. It's what? Six months after the purchase? Prove Brian has wronged you or stop this madness. You could prob get a super cheep set of wheels from Dished!!

I never attacked you... you attacked me.

I only challenged you AFTER you made direct and inaccurate accusations. That is not "attacking", that is commonly referred to as "defending".

Here is the 1st screen shot that shows that I contacted Brian immediately after the 1st ride with his wheels. This also correlates perfectly with the 1st forum post... almost as if my story is 100% fact based (hint: it is).
