How do you feel about others handling your ride?

Please share.

 

Personally I am very protective.

This weekend I had a rare explosion when I went to the garage and found the gardener sitting on my bike during his lunch break.

Ouch, people are screened and briefed before touching my bikes (and my tools)

 

You can keep your tool to yourself :o

If it's someone who knows something about bikes, sure.

 

What's not great is when a layman pushes a shifter button up a couple of times without realising what they're doing and messes up the calibration (or kills the gearing inside the shifter pod). Not cool.

Dude, he was casually bumming my top tube while texting.

What is the issue? It is a bloody bike and it gets ridden. Esp MTB. It bets bashed scratched dinged etc.

 

So what the more you pay the lighter it gets that is all. 10K, 20k, 30k +++ who cares.

 

Just ride it.

Don't think this is possible if you got good equipment, worst case is the cable tries to stretch.
