yes there is no buy it tab on website wont answer email I work m-f call when im off work no answer, I see them advertise for vendors to order 100 adapters wont they need sprockets
They are out of stock and have told you so on their web page which
is why there is No buy it now tab.
If there was a buy it now tab you would be complaining that they took
your money and didn't send you your sprocket.
Obviously they don't know when they are getting more 48 tooth sprockets
to sell or they would have said a date.
They are out of stock on all of their sprockets and hub adapters.
Why do you need to call or email them?

...that doesn't change the fact that not answering emails or the telephone is just bad business, no matter how many defenders they have.
...if you know them maybe you trust them, if you don't know them and they won't communicate, how can you trust them?

If this is going to be another vendor bashing thread it will be moved to the 'Swap & Shop' section, or be deleted. Use the search feature and type in 'Pirate Cycles', you'll have plenty to read on the subject. http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partne...8j15#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=Pirate Cycles&gsc.page=1
We don't need another thread on this.

I buy from them often and have never once had a problem. Your story is hard for me to believe, because whenever I've tried to order something from them that's out of stock, it wouldn't let me.
I also find the facts behind my story hard to believe. Please prove me wrong!
Call them this week, see if they answer.
Email them, see if you hear back!
Please prove me wrong!
Will you let me know what response you get???
Bikenut, I know I told you not to, but go to their website. Pretend like you are going to buy a rear wheel with the shimano hub. Then add an adapter and sprocket and proceed to check out. See if it lets you know if they are in stock or not.
This shimano wheel is on their home page. It has the drop downs for adapter and sprockets. It won't let you order it, because it says out of stock.

sorry should have been more specific on which wheel then. I was just going by the wheel that I ordered. I ordered the wheel master seen below....

So will you try to contact these guys and let me know how it works out for you?
I see what you're talking about. They obviously f ed that one up, because it does let you order. The problem is they're out of adapters when you try to just order an adapter.
I'm pretty sure if you just wait it out they'll send you your order when it becomes available, but I can understand why you might not want to do that.
I guess your only choice is wait, or cancel the order. They do say on their website they don't answer the phone much.
I've recently need ordering LED light bulbs online from china that take 27 days arrive.
If I were you I would send them a email informing them that if you don't hear back from them soon you plan to cancel the order.
Well there in lies my biggest gripe. I CANNOT get a response from them. I've emailed telling them I want to cancel my order. If they will not communicate with me, I cannot cancel my order. THey have not told me what the problem is. Yeah they are probably waiting to get enough orders and cash to place a bulk order. Maybe. Maybe not. I would just like to know. People on forums and similar businesses have given me many plausible reasons why I've been left hanging. BUT i would rather hear it from the people who accepted my order and my payment. Which are the only ones that actually know.
Since it's been 6 weeks and no shipment, you can call your credit card company and ask for a charge back to pirate. I think you're justified is this instance because of how long it's been.
jesus christ the newbies always find pirate cycles first. why always pirates first... I'm going to rip off their website theme and layout, and call my bike company outlaw cycles... heh
It's the skull and cross bones man LOL many think ooh that's bada**
My thoughts are this, That's an age old symbol for DEATH do I really want to
order from there? ROFLMAO Just don't ask me my opinion of the average thought processes.
no offense intended
