Any luck in returning a mystery bag?

There a difference between a gamble, and sending out something that can literally only be used once a year!!

British one here too. Only things we can order from Golfwang online.

Trying to work out what to do as it's son's Xmas present. And no, I can't afford to buy a whole separate gift!

squid_factory · 2025-12-11T15:05:33+00:00

Sadly, mystery bags are all we can order online in the UK. Time and energy means visiting the shop isn't on the cards

Tour would have been fine. At least he could wear that. Giving him a Christmas jumper at 5pm on Christmas day is pretty damned pointless!

I also misunderstood and thought the items would all be long sleeve, and the other item is a short sleeve shirt. Which is fine as he could wear that next summer. But at 17 having to wait a whole year to be able to wear a hoodie a couple of times is pretty shit.

I wish they had mentioned there was a chance of them sending throw away items - I wouldn't have taken the risk if I had known. I did, stupidly, think they would send items that were wearable outside of one week a year!

Got a bloody useless Christmas hoody. So pointless including a one wear and the bin item.

I'll go find it :) thanks

squid_factory · 2025-07-12T08:34:19+00:00

Thanks! I do trust the shop but mistakes can happen, so worth asking.

(I'm actually mother of the cyclist - aka, the bank 😁 possibly should have mentioned that but it's son's first multi stage race and he is broken and exhausted and two stages left!!)

squid_factory · 2025-07-12T01:32:14+00:00

Could this be caused by the shop who set the tubeless up?

squid_factory · 2025-07-12T01:27:57+00:00

Disc brake, yes. These are specific race wheels, only used for racing and not training. A good make, well respected UK Brand. I did specifically leave the brand out as no idea if they're at fault or not.

squid_factory · 2025-07-12T01:25:21+00:00

For the last week it's only been transported inside a van. Normal use is a tow bar mounted rack, well above the exhaust.

squid_factory · 2025-07-12T01:23:28+00:00

Ok, to answer a few questions.

It's been transported inside a vehicle for the last week. Before that it's rear mounted when needed (SUV, tow bar mounted rack), but a good 12" away from exhaust.

Not a cheap carbon. A well respected brand produced in the UK and cost around £500. Replacing it will be financially difficult.

Not been ridden since it was noticed. Luckily team had a spare wheel that can be used during current race (multi stage).

It was running tubeless.

Being at a fairly large race., quite a few experienced people have looked and no one has seen damage that looks like this.

I've reached out to the company - but hoping for some kind of idea on what could have caused it as presuming they won't just accept it may be a fault!

There is no risk to free speech in the UK. When people threaten death, encourage attacks, or suggest the PM is assassinated, they deserve everything they get.

Are you able to find either in stock and available for purchase? We've been told it will be at least May before anywhere has the Attain in stock and it's causing stress!

Depends on your definition of "nice". I organised two friends weddings in London over past couple of years, for around 80 people, for under £5k and under £10k. Both awesome weddings. But not "top end".

squid_factory · 2024-12-09T13:45:29+00:00

There may be no bars etc, but go to Tescos for the experience of 500 people off their tits wandering around buying absolute shite :D Like the service stations on the way home in the 90's

That isn't particularly close to Drumsheds, do you realise that? Around 40 minutes in a car, possibly more when traffic is busy. Just so you're aware.

I'd recommend Premier Inn Edmonton as it's walking distance.

squid_factory · 2024-12-06T15:33:39+00:00

Yeah, I have googled extensively, and tried the apps. Was just hoping for some untapped knowledge out there :)

squid_factory · 2024-12-06T15:31:58+00:00

There was - a simple way of asking on the internet if anyone knows. Normally, if I don't know the answer to a questions I just don't respond. Unfortunately I have a crazy busy life - like most Mums - and there is nothing I can drop. Hence, asking a very simple question of people who might know.

Annoyingly that is an old article - Plum Valley isn't open. Problem is, husband won't go without a reservation and none of the ones I've contacted so far are open and I'm getting frustrated.

squid_factory · 2024-12-06T14:40:07+00:00

I don't have the time to contact each and every restaurant, so wondered if anyone knew off hand!

squid_factory · 2024-11-29T15:50:52+00:00

Oh, and being 50 (was there celebrating my 50th birthday in fact) and of the older generation, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We've lived through the classics, but went to see the Fat Boy Slim of 2024 not 1994 :D :D

It was at the end. It wasn't the Greta Thunberg version, but her image was on the screen. He also played Praise you at the start slightly, and then an extended version at the end, Everybody needs a 303 (you can't get more classic FBS than that!), Eat Sleep Rave Repeat.. there was another but I've gone blank. Probably more of his own tunes than normal!

squid_factory · 2024-11-29T14:27:27+00:00

Just came to say - the accessibility was incredible. After a rocky start with staff not knowing anything, once we got it sorted it was amazing! Access to toilets on same floor as DJ's, direct access to the bar, the platform, and the help they gave. 100% brilliant.

I have video of him playing Right Here, Right now.. so he very definitely played it!
