Order b*lls up :(

[cyberknight]

Just ordered some cables from wiggle thinking they had outers in as well and ended up with 4 brake and 4 gear inner cables !
Oh well they will come in handy , just need check the shed to see what cable i have lying around .
I also ordered some bar tape and the colour was in small print , blue on a black /red bike i am not sure it will work

I just get it delivered to work (I know that isn't an option for you though) I reckon I could get a whole bike under the radar that way..... I just wouldn't be able to ride it....................

You havent got any spare outers have you ?
Might have to try swapsies on heres for the bar tape although the blue would go on the virtuoso i reckon i would destroy the tape on it getting it off .
Cant knock Lloyds as i took the bike in Saturday morning with shifting issues and they managed to sort it out in a couple of hours even though they said they were busy , i do patronize the LBS but sometimes you need to shop around as i wanted to do the job this week as cheap as possible when some shifters i blagged from the CTC forum come .The aim is to sell the virtuoso when the new build is done as i the wife think 4 bikes is pushing it .

No sorry haven't done much fettling - upgrading so no spares as such

@cyberknight

Wiggle have a good returns policy so would likely swap any error ordered parts for you (this might cost postage if your fault though).

I have sent wrong size stuff back to Wiggle using Collect+ service.

Or you could buy a Blue bike.

Distance selling regulations mean you can send them back if you don't want them.

Thanks !
Just printed a returns form to send them back and asked for right coloured tape
