Tony, we appear to have a simultaneous [censored] sense of humour!

I wish my postie, UPS, etc. etc could bestir themselves from bed that early. Then I wouldn't have to
lug all the heavy stuff back from work...

I was first on the route. Or at least, first on the sheet of the route, and I'd be surprised if
they'd done 20 calls before they got to me.

They take delivery of your package and delivery it at your convenience. You give them a hour slot
from 0700 to 2300 - and I've not had them be late (I'll let them off for arriving at 0757 when I'd
asked for an 8-9 slot 🙂

Their speed of despatch is excellent but I can fault their willingness to correct technical
information.

Wiggle's description of Campagnolo bottom brackets is incorrect. I've emailed to correct them but
they've ignored me. People are buying the wrong products because of this. I know they got my email
because they answered another enquiry at the time.

What they call "double" Mirage, Veloce and Centaur BBs (111mm) are actually intended also for TRIPLE
chainsets on bikes with 28.6 seat tubes. Unlike Shimanos, double and triple Xenon-to-Centaur cranks
are especially designed to fit the same BB. The "triple" 115.5mm is only for triples with 32+mm seat
tubes (to allow more clearance for the front derailleur). This is clearly stated on the Campag
website and catalogues. It's best to use the 111 when possible for sake of chainline and q-factor,
etc. By the way, a trick to use the 111 with fat seat tubes is to file a bit off the mech. Wiggle's
Campag prices are OTT anyway. Better to buy from Parker International. The worry is though: if
they've got these descriptions wrong (and don't care), what else could be wrong?

I had a problem with Wiggle and returning faulty goods (Endura clothing of all things). Took a long
time and eventually a letter direct to the head honchos before I saw my money again (to their credit
it was very quick once they had received said letters).

Cheers,

Chris

I bought an Astrale computer off them the other week, which turned out not to have the rear wheel
speed sensor as advertised and thereof being of No Use At All. Refund came very quickly.

They had or may still have an incorrect listing for Shimano SPD cleats, I emailed them but got
no response.

Other than sending me red instead of salmon red koolstops which they rectified they seem pretty
reasonable.

I never get wine gums though.

Now that's what I call service - do they bring you the paper as well?

Yebbut, AFAICT you have to order you stull from one of their list of suppliers, which appered, at
the last count, to include no[1] online bike shops. Or did I miss them hiding under "books" or
something?

1 - I counted them. Twice.

Why would I want a bike when I'm in the convenience? The list of things I want in there is
quite short...
