wow.
I’ve hit my first snag importing FMB tyres.
The last shipment gets snagged by some customs company (over a month ago). And I go back and forth with this kinda shady and anonymous customs clearance company for a couple of weeks.
I’m doing anything and everything I can to get them sent out quickly and they do not return email and phone calls!
So, I get back from Vegas today and am catching up with work and the tyres are nowhere to be found.
A phone call and 20 minutes of hold music.
Apparently they sat around at the clearing company and now they are being “held” by customs and I am looking at another few hundred bucks to get them out.
You are f’ing kidding me.
I blow up at the agent on the phone and demand a manager. We kinda smooth things over and they are going to negotiate getting them out of holding for free.
ugh.
Incompétent!!

that sucks. the fmb’s are a great tire. in fact, the first time I rode mine, I won (all down hill from there sadly…).
hopefully customs will be cool, because they are great tires and I am sure in a few years they will be just as widespread as challenge or perhaps even a.dugast.
Uhhh…are my ssc sprints going to suck this weekend? Did the tires show up? Emergency glue session Saturday night or what?
