WTD - 'Tune' BB parts - Possibly SORTED

[tintin40]

I've had terrible experiences with Posh Bikes too on the few occasions I have had cause to call them. There's this bloke with a rather nasally voice who just talks at you. Might be all right if you don't get him. There's a very nice woman there who is very helpful but when her knowledge runs out she says "I'm just going to transfer you" and your heart sinks.

Made to feel like the most stupid person ever to have been born - and I'm certainly not thin-skinned.

Posh Bikes essentially seem to be at war with anyone else who sells Tune parts and, by extension, anyone who buys Tune parts from any outlet other than them.

I feel better now...

Spot on!
That sums up my experience to a T, except when I phoned the nasally one had a cold and punctuated every sentence with a few sniffs and the odd grolly roll. Nice!

Sorry going off topic but Posh are just like that. Also it's cheaper to buy the parts they stock from Germany from R2 bikes.com

Ha! Glad it's not just me.
Last time I called them I ended up putting the phone down on him.
Never again.

The best and fastest way will be to send a mail to: [email protected] and tell them what parts you need. They are very nice chaps over there at Tune.

And everyone is right about Poshbikes they are Sh1te, told my mate he could not fit 94bcd Tune cranks on a road bike, quick call to UK bike store a 40 and 50T 94bcd TA chainring and some Ti bolts and Hey Presto!!!!

Hope you find some cups soon

bearing should be standard SKF but maybe they can deliver 'm too

cheers for the heads-up, fella.

Would really love to know what bearings I need, and then I'd be laughing.

Posh bikes have got back to me and are quoting £50+ for just the bearings... :shock:

These will do the job very well

SKF 6804-2RS (size: 20 x 32 x 7 mm) shouldn't be more than 5 pound each

The TUNE ones are 59€ indeed ........ maybe ceramic???
