Nooooooooooooooooo! >:( Oh me oh my. I'm sorry, jags. What rotten luck. Did you get a chance to check it during the exchange?

Looking for a possible "save" on this...all dynohubs feel pretty rough when spun by the axle -- feels like the bearings and cones are shot, due to the dot-dash feel of the magnets/poles. Does it smooth out any once mounted in the forks and spun by the rim?

Uh-oh...that doesn't sound very promising.  :-\

Your BuddyFlaps should arrive your way today, Saturday, or Monday if the Post Office's predictions hold true. The 'flaps are new!  ;D

All the best,

Dan.

yeah always buy new.

That's a good mantra jags.  I think it may cost you a bit more, but the peace of mind is often worth the extra few bucks.
