Hyper 9E

[Marvin]

I'm pretty peeved at the moment.
I mentioned before I broke the shock top, but it seems that finding spares is impossible in the UK. I ordered 86050 which was listed as the correct spare.

However, whilst it 'just' fits the shock, it won't fit the mount as the hole is too small. So I looked for the right spare part, and after about 20 minutes came up with another, different part number for the same parts. Eventually, I found on Nitro House's website the right part (under hop-ups), so I typed the part number into Google....

Zilch, nothing came up other than at NitroHouse. I also tried it without the OFN part to comply with the rest of the world, and still nothing. I'm going to have to use different shock mounts or something.

I'm not best pleased right now that, finding the part no. is difficult enough, then actually finding someone with the part in the same continent as me is completely impossible. I should be racing tomorrow, but I guess that's down the drain now.

It does explain a lot. Only problem is that I don't want to be ordering the parts I need from the US everytime a need anything, as I will get stung on import duty (at 15% of the item's value + a surcharge) - which sucks.

I just typed the part no. + Ofna + Hobao in Google

[Marvin]

D'oh! I only typed the part number and Hobao into Google, and I'm fairly sure that didn't come up! Oh well.
