Can't say for sure what happened, but it may just be a problem with timing. The original post is dated a year and a half back.
That's probably true Geoffrey.
For those who (at least one response is from a newer member) may not know, the original post looking for help was from Nicky Zarras who is the editor of our STAReview magazine, and does a lot of product and bike tests. He probably found somebody already, did the test himself etc. Not sure how often he looks at the forum, the limited activity has many of us checking in less frequently.
Also if you want to contact somebody on the forum more quickly, you can click on their name/picture and it opens their profile, where you can send them a private message [Send PM] they should get a notice with that by email (if they have a valid address setup). But some people also don't check email frequently, a growing tend outside the business world (many use social media more regularly).
