I have been a Fikse Dealer for a few years now. I have not sold a set in over a year. Anthony Rose PM'ed me last week to ask the same question, I'm not sure if these cases are the same. I pretty much stopped selling Fikse wheels due to the fact of being lied to and being under cut by the them as a dealer. I know of 3 instances in trying to push their wheels where I was drastically under cut by Fikse, not another dealer, the manufacturer. They told me I was wrong. They also would not drop ship, so the wheels had to be shipped to me and then again to the customer. That is waste of money, charge me a dang drop ship fee. Then I talked to a Kyle at DSE and he said that Fikse would drop ship for him. Will then told me again nobody gets anything dropped shipped , but I order 3 sets he would drop ship them. These issues were only discussed after weeks of me trying to get a hold of some one and time after time I would leave a message that never got returned. And I'm a dealer.
When you get to the point you under cut your dealers, to make a sale, things must be tight. I hope they are not gone, they have an awesome product. I just won't sell it anymore, there are too many nice wheels out there to have to deal with this drama.
