There possibly is John , always two sides to every story . I guess it's upto the RADsters to decide whether they want to send an email or not . I posted it up because Justin has always been a top lad with me and he didn't need asking twice when it came to supporting MK14 etc. From what i have read on various sites it does seem as though he has been stitched up . I also know from running my own business that this does happen from time to time no matter how good you feel your customer service or supplier relationship is ::)
If any RADsters don't feel comfortable sending an email ..... don't ;)
Justin has emailed me this morning and he thanks you all for the support :4_17_5:

I couldn't get on with whatsapp so binned it off
Will probably do the same with Twitter too as I'm struggling to see the point of that either
Might give that ello a go but so far don't know anyone else on it

I sent this but got no reply.
Dear John
Disappointing to read that you won't sell the new release of Unitron grips to Porkchop BMX. I have been an avid fan of A'ME grips since starting to ride BMX bikes in 1979 and switched from Oakley to A'ME in 1980 or thereabouts. I still have two pairs of og, bought in the 80s, A'ME grips; one pair new in their box and one used pair from one of my bikes.
Today I still ride BMX both my bikes, a race bike and a park bike run your grips plus I collect vintage BMX bikes, 10 of them and 6 run A'ME grips all of which were bought from Porkchop. These are guys who are not the cheapest but they offer unrivalled knowledge, customer service and a fantastic range of parts to the BMX Community. They have been fantastic ambassadors for A'ME products and it's disappointing that they are being treated this way and excluded from selling the Unitrons, a grip that they know their customers will and do want to buy from them.
Justin says that you won't check out their website to see that they are a real business and to see what they put into the sport and community but you will listen to folks, heck you must listen to folks if you are refusing to supply Porkchop because some of your other customers don't like competition and complain to you about it. If those customers of yours treated their customers better, contributed to the community and valued their customers as much as Justin and his team do they wouldn't need to complain about competition.
Hopefully you will do the right thing; get A'ME products sold through retailers that value the brand and who are true ambassadors for your products, retailers like Porkchop.
Yours sincerely
