Sorry for the winge, it'll make me feel better though.
So ordered some Spyre brakes and Mavic wheels for my new Cotic Escapade build and was looking forward to getting it completed this weekend........
1. Sorry we will only deliver to the address registered with your bank, even though they asked for a delivery address, can't leave with neighbour blah blah....
2. The wheels that you ordered can't now be delivered until 26 May due to supplier problems.
First world problem I know but still a bit peeved.....aaaaaaagh.

I might be able to stretch to £400, so looking at Moonglu for a Hope Hub, Stans/Pacenti rim combination, any other suggestions welcome. Slightly less peeved now!

Cheers cloudnine, still fancy the Moonglu combo though, more to do with the adaptability of the hubs as I'm a bit of a serial frame swapper and with all these different fork and axle standards being thrown around its seems like a good investment.
