Chro Mo Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 My wishlist:honestyrespectservice deliverystock on the shelvesPrice comes in way down the list. I am happy when you have stock to sell. If I want something obscure I will find it.

JXV Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 If you dont let me into your workshop to observe or check something I don't come back - ever. I dont mind if you choose to withold advice or info on a repair procedure - I will find out anyway but pls don't refuse to sell me spare parts unless I also pay you to fit them - that will also get you on my blacklist

If something happens while you're in there the shop can be held liable. I also know most LBS' aren't fans of this as lots of customers want to hang around and keep the guys out of their work with small talk. Difficult to control and administer.

Difficult to control and administer.Fair enough Iwan..... my two favourite LBS have the workshop visible from the floor...separated by a low wall or in one case, a glass window. I can see that correct tools are used and the place is reasonably tidy, well lit ....and mechanic's technique is competent. That's enough to satisfy me that my bike is in good hands.

johannrissik Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 You're so right! There I was on a due north course when suddenly something decided to change bearing... or did you mean my houding?

i24 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Advice ... My LBS tells me that I should not use an SRAM chain on a Shimano cassette. Is this "good" advice or are they just out of stock on the other brand?

Meezo Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Shimano Hydraulic Hose for Shimano XT brakes, sold per meter
JXV Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Please dont file down my brake caliper (without permission) to prevent it fouling the spokes on a DUC32 hub conversion. And when you file through to the slave cylinder you should have bought me a new caliper, not told me it is my problem because the parts are incompatible. Simply i creasing rotor size would have solved the problem at lower cost to both of us. This really happened....a long time ago....no names but I'm still pissed off. Those original Hope hydraulics were classic, strong and beautifully made.
