Ok I know I'm supposed to buy from NZ, as alot of people have a gripe with getting items from overseas. Thing is this little country does its best to piss me off when it comes to getting a part that you'd think is a pretty consumable item.
All I want is 2 'rivet links' for my (very common) 520 RK chain on my racebike, I've gone up 2 teeth on the back sprocket and now the chain is on the short side...................easy fix, go to local and order a couple...........WRONG!!!!!
Local says no worries, go in next day.......have 1 there but suppliers are unpacking an order come back tomorrow, ok sweet as, give them a few days over the weekend and go back.........sorry theres none in the country, thinking the piss was being taken I joked, but no there isn't any here.
Cmon...............a bloody common chain size for a sports bike and ya can't join the fuking thing together with the right link............I even tracked down an elusive chain riveter( a job in itself ) to do the job properly........am at a loss for words really, if it were an exotic part I could understand it, but its not.
Is it any wonder more people are buying from offshore..............![]()
