Spokes from eBay

[mw1]

Hi all. Just a heads up for anyone buying spokes.
I recently bought some spokes from this seller:

Long story short, they measured 1.7mm not 2mm as stated. & the sellers attitude stank throughout the process of trying to get a refund, & ended up having to go through eBay to get my money back.

Thanks for that. What did they say when you told them that they were 1.7mm, not 2mm?

I always get mine from this guy, and I get what I order.

Hi D8veh,
He suggested I get a new vernier! & sent a picture of his digital one measuring one of the spokes, showing 1.97mm. As we all know you can zero them to show any measurement you want. Mine is an old fashioned sliding scale one, & when I got some spokes from a different seller they were fine.
