Sorry for the attack I am just frustrated at this point and want this over with. It was wrong to attack you. I will make no more public post concerning this issue.

 

you have no right to be frustrated mate.

 

Seriously.

 

i think im due for an update, but i filed a paypal claim on tuesday. since then i have not heard from shinjiduo

 

The pic of the damage was from dismounting, not mounting. I've f***ed up enough tires on the machine to know that's dismount damage.

You don't ever put a tool in that area to mount a tire. Had the damage been caused by mashing against the wheel bead during mounting, it would have torn from the inside out, not along the center of the bead.

Damage like that is *mostly* caused by jabbing the tire with the spoon while trying to pry the bead over the side of the tire. you can also see the marks on the sidewall where the spoon was pressed against it while trying to shove the spoon between the wheel and tire.

It's possible that could have been done during the mounting, but very unlikely.

 

is anyone else thinking that "jtm02011" and "Shinjiduo" may be the same guy? mods, can you verify with an IP?

 

After reading this thread, I would say at least the item was shipped, but it's pretty unprofessional and rude to ignore someone's messages and stuff

 

^ dont forget the fact that one of the tires was damaged and the tires were mounted before. shinjiduo claims low pro tires get damaged when mounted and unmounted, yet when i bought the tires he never mentioned they were mounted before. he just said brand new. i found this out on my own with a little research. dishonest sellers are the worse sellers

 

me and the seller have settled this
