Mojoman Posted August 3, 2010 Share Thanks to Johan Bornman for getting me the Shimano pedal tool, it took my LBS, West Rand Cycles, over a month to decide that they couldn't get one, and it took Johan less than a week to get one and then post it onto me. Poor service from the LBS (to be expected it would appear) and exceptional service from someone who I do not know and have never spent any money with. Support those guys who make an effort for you, even if it is for a tool that is under R50! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canfan Posted August 3, 2010 Share I know many threads have been started about how bad Cajees is, but my feeling lately is that one should rather do some investigation on what it is that you need and then buy from Cajees or Solomons because they generally give the best prices. If you do need help/advice get hold of someone like Johan or one of these guys that does bicycle servicing/maintenance by themselves. They have a lot more to loose from giving bad service than most of the LBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot more to loose from giving bad service than most of the LBS. teach and empower yourself, buy yourself a book like the Park Big Blue Book of Bicycle Maintenance and also surf the internet or ask questions on the Hub. There are many vidoes availabloe on any topic as well as instructions. Not one of my three tandems and three half bikes has seen the inside of a bicycle shop workshop. Guys like Johan, although they do not normally care to share wisdom, makes money out of supplying a service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big H Posted August 3, 2010 Share @Big H and what is wrong with that people make money from supplying a service? Nothing..... as long as those requesting help or advice pay for their time. Freebies is/may be an irritation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemish Lion Posted August 3, 2010 Share Guys like Johan, although they do not normally care to share wisdom, makes money out of supplying a service. What a SH!T comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeTurbo Posted August 3, 2010 Share I think Big H is saying: Johan is happy and willing to share his knowledge and expertise (as he so often does, and we say huge thanks for that) but that he ultimately must make some money. This he does by offering various services like his maintenance workshops, for which you should be willing to pay - just as you would expect JB to pay for your services were he to consult you. But let me not put words in another's mouth, or my foot in my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted August 3, 2010 Share There should be 12 itsy bitsy bearings on either end of the tube (24 per pedal shank). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
