Went and bought a lovely looking mini-speedo today for £28 from my local shop/breakers.
Got it home,unwrapped it and bugger,its in increments of 20 and in the middle it states x100 RPM!
So,as its obviously a rev counter I go back and spend 10 minutes arguing the toss[!]
The end result?I,ve got to ring on Wednesday after the reps been and see what the outcome is.The lad in the shop still swears blind its a speedo.So I,ll have to wait and see………………..not a happy bunny tonight[V]Vanished………..like a wrinkly ninja
September 5, 2005 at 6:52 pm #31504sidParticipantwere there any instructions with it stating its a tacho not speedo?
life sucks get used to it
September 5, 2005 at 6:54 pm #31505riff-raffParticipantNo mate.Just a plain plastic bag and plain box.
Its a 4:1 ratio as well so I can,t see that being right for a speedo[]Vanished………..like a wrinkly ninja

September 6, 2005 at 5:23 pm #31509sidParticipantyou can return it on that basis alone i think
its your right as a consumer to expect to get what you asked for take it back and tell them you want the correct item or your money back there and then or you’ll call trading standards AS WELL as tell everyone you know who owns a bike not to shop therelife sucks get used to it

Went back at dinnertime and picked up a proper speedo,straight swap and although he still swears blind the other was a speedo,I,ve got what I needed in the first place.
Result!Vanished………..like a wrinkly ninja
