That is savage ('cuse the pun), sorry to hear that. Hate insurance companies with a passion. If I insure it and it gets stolen/ totalled then give me the cash so I can replace it or replace it. I'm not a dealer, I can't get book value...
Guest notmyname Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 My ex always used to say "but it's just a bicycle. I don't get what the fuss is all about?"
Rocket-Boy Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 My pet peeve is people advertising stuff in the classifieds with the wrong names/spelling for components. Just stop being lazy asses and read the name on the flippen thing so that you can spell it correctly.

Isnt that always the case?!?!Its worse when you can see there was some effort in the component choice but the seller cant be bothered to look at the bike for correct spelling.

Tell us which one is the correct term, so that next time I go to a bike shop I don't have to ask them to replace the 'thing' by the wheel where the chain goes over ...
LeTurbo Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I ride a bike, but I am not a biker, ffs. On the other hand, I usually just tell my lbs, "the bike feels heavier than it used to, you know," and see what they come up with. Mainly with the Conlago. Dispenses with naming the details like pedal arms, brake handles, steering bar, front rims, stay seat, saddle post and those iffy things.

I've heard "pedal axle" used for crank. "Cleats" is often used to mean pedals. You can add: (Customer) I need a tube. (Bike Shop) What size tube do you need? (Customer) 24 speed. Oh and "How much to fix the machine"?
