Post by: big_el on 04 June 2010, 18:21

Hiya, im after some help,

seen these on ebay and am wondering if anyone thinks theres something wrong with them as they seem cheap

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140411905651&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3337wt_1137 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140411905651&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3337wt_1137)

and does anyone know how much it would cost to put some rubber on them ?

cheers

He mentions one has a bad wobble and is only suitable for the back (to me that reads - "it's knackered!)

Have a good look at the bigger pictures and you can see the edges of some are chewed round the edges - worst one is fourth big picture down, you can see a small portion of the one it's standing on and it looks chewed to hell. And they are not originals, they are copies. You pays your money, you takes your chance.............

wobbly wheel to me indicates the rim may be slightly buckled...
