Dirt bike recommendations?

The only person getting ripped off is the person who for whatever reason bought a product that was unfit for its purpose then had the hassle of returning the product and starting over again. What if they went away for a weekend riding etc etc they are out of pocket more than the initial purchase price and it is not unreasonable to want an equivalent spec item regardless of what you paid for them. I have no gripe with c treads but they will still be making money on boots reduced from $600 to $200.

The boots degrading while being used appropriately is covered by consumer guarantees act.
You missing out on something because the boots started falling apart IS NOT covered by the consumer guarantees act because is wasn't reasonably foreseeable.
Now the boots haven't failed, some of the aesthetic rubber has degraded, the boot didn't spontaneously fall apart and put anyone in danger. They could still be used if necessary.

Cycletreads probably aren't making any money on something that is reduced by 60% from retail.

The boots have been returned, and a refund given no questions asked. So there isn't a problem any more.

Not the thread to be arguing the rights and wrong of who's ripping of whom but feel free to start another thread and we can argue till the cows come home.

It's all been sorted so quite a moot point.

Which colour do you fellas reckon? I was thinking the white boots with red swirls?

[leathel]

boots are meant to be black IMHO


But the middle pair suits your gear

[BoristheBiter]

I'm with leathel on this one. Boots must be black.

I got white ones that were on sale. It seemed ok when I rode a Honda.

Now not so much.....

[unstuck]

Hey what wrong with gumboots and swanie


Well actually I have the top of a Toe missing and the top of big to stitched back on that might back up your statement

Good boots might have been better than gumboots that day


Must get some more good boots (Dirt) as the current ones are stuffed

Not a good idea, especially if the little knob has broken off your brake lever, coz they go right through gumboot, through your leg and generally just fuck your day up.

Gosh decisions, decisions, why should they be black? cause they will look dirty or something?
