NOT BS just the shop you went to did not know about it or did not care to inform you.

 

Just like MOST Specialized shops do not know that you have a lifetime warranty on the boa dials for spez shoes. You can just go online and order another set for your shoes FREE

 

Hi Coenie

Have you done this , or only heard of it ?

I just paid R 400 ( I think ) for 1 dial for my S-Works shoe !!

My BB just consists of 2 bearings pressed directly into the frame :(... PF30 according to manufacturers spec.

Fortunately when it started creaking it was just dirt trapped between the bearing and the crank seal, but damn I hate this design. I'm likely going to damage them if I ever try remove them to service.

Ordered a Wheels MFG one today. Will get it installed when I take my bike in next week and report back...

Can I order the Wheels MFG BB locally or can you only order this BB from their website and import it?  I need this BB.

It can easily costs R2k to fully service a normal shock and fork (together) including parts so the Spaz pricing inst that out of wack, depending on what they do for the money of course

A mate worked out that he spent R20k on bike services last year (S-works Epic as MTB option) vs R4k on 60,000kms service for his Audi.

 

Something seriously wrong with this sport, a bubble maybe?

And thats why I service my own bike. The only thing I take to the shop is my rear brain shock...

Insane actually.

Major interval service on my KTM 1190 was R2600 or thereabouts, thats oil, plugs, filters and all the other whatevers they do....

This gets more of a hammering than most mountain bikes.

 

Yes, big bubble has to burst sometime soon so the sport will essentially end up like golf.

I have done it, and two of my friends also.

 

Which s-works do you have as I ended up with an extra set for my s-works shoes which you are welcome to have if it will fit
