Working in a bike shop these days after leaving my 'Big Job'
Mostly it's just bloody great, but boy oh boy it only takesd one. And I've just had one.
That said, how is every one these days?
There's the odd good thread here, this could be one if you share?
Just the type that question everything you've done, dispite going through it all beforehand.
Somehow didn't believe I had changed his headset bearings, and wanted to see the old/bits one.
Couldn't get the concept of some play in his rear suspension, hub, 29er wheel etc. had to prove we'd adjusted his hub as requested.
Then asked in a panicky way if we'd tampered with his tubeless set up......it wasn't tubeless?
But then he put on his helmet complete with Cats Ears, and in my head I said Ah ha!
I find the ones the mechanics have most issues with are the puncture that then turns into can you have a look at the gears, brakes, headset, bottom bracket and wheels but then seem unhappy when it's going to cost more than just a punctyre.
Search for the hashtags #yourbikehatesyou and #bikeshopbingo on Instagram, plenty of shop mechanics documenting thier trials.
