What is in a bike service?

Well the speedo doesnt work at all now. Remember I showed you that it was rusted on the one contact point and we joked about it? Well that was not scraped or cleaned as I asked you.

 

As for the wash, that is why I started this thread. Not to name or shame or anything. It seems that the majority of guys think it should not be included so I accept that and will not expect that next time. I was wrong there.

 

As for the speedo thing, not cool.

 

I said THE mech. Not THIS mech, you clown. <_<

 

How the hell do you expect a cycling mechanic*, ANY cycling mechanic to field test a bike OVER 40km an hour, for that price? Jeez. And are you not aware that silly electrical niggles NEVER play up in the hands of the Mechanic?

 

Buy a new one Nubbin. An I ain't JOKING.

 

Oh. To add to the Bike Wash thing. Have you ever considered that the reason most bike shops Wash your bike is because it generally is bought in looking like it did the "Monsoon Avalanche Series", backwards, and can't be identified for ***! Not even going to ask if you have tried servicing a bike full of mud. You have made that answer obvious.

 

Be considerate. Wash your own damn bike before foisting the blame on the Bike Shop.

 

*The Dangle excluded !

Hahaha Drongo you are funny man!!

 

How on earth could I have been so silly to expect a mech to fix a speedo.... My Mistake. Speedos do not belong on bikes....

 

About the 40km theory...

Lets see mmm maybe the guy can GET ON IT AND RIDE IT??? It is a road bike after all....

 

Or do I then need to pay a thousand bucks then?

 

Actually come to think of it if the guy put his life in jeopardy, tested it and then could not fix it then maybe he could have sold a new one to me.... called pro active marketing......

 

But you do not think that way you have Made that Obvious

For 1000k an hour, bring it on! I will ride your bike to test your speedo. AND fix it to boot.

 

Anything less = D.I.Y
