and your reply was going so well...

If yours didn't they're probably in the mechanics tool box.

When I wrote "yours" Gary I didn't mean you specifically, I meant anyone who didn't get them with their bike; like addressing the group as a whole It's easy to write something that will be misunderstood.................as you are well aware

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think I did misunderstand that you were accusing shop mechanics of stealing parts they probably have no need for (and even if they did they could get hold of very cheaply).

I've bought enough bikes to know that bits left over after a bike has been assembled and set up sometimes get chucked into a toolbox or spares box. If you ask for them you usually get them no problem. I most definitely was not accusing anyone of stealing parts for their own use or profit. I hope that's clear. I was trying to say that the problem with communicating like this is that a lot of context, facial expression and tone of voice is missing so it's sometimes hard to get your point across without being overly wordy and / or misunderstood.

I have no idea why people are still using tubes these days... ?‍

because my H1700 rim dinked and the air won't stay in and despite ordering wheels in January there's no sight of a delivery date. But apart from that definitely tubeless.....
